Rosetta 2 is supposed to be available for older games only but I’m not sure how they’re planning to enforce that. Maybe some kind of whitelist? Either way it was a travesty that Valve didn’t bother before. Running what is essentially a full web browser through Rosetta couldn’t ever work well because of all of the recompilation already happening there.
It’s a small company with very little resources, and they only take 30% cut of nearly all PC game sales so they couldn’t afford it. /s
Your biggest worry with something that’s connected to the internet are security updates and in general nobody will support a product indefinitely so can’t really buy anything for life. Your best bet would be a router that supports open firmware like OpenWrt.
Same as everyone else everywhere, there are no alternatives. I live in a shitty country but I’m not going to lie down and die.
Well, that sucks. At least with those you get an option of physical release at the same price. I thought they’d be doing what they did with Banaza which makes sense - those new carts have a non-trivial cost so charging less for digital seemed fair. I was wondering how they got around retailers pushing back against digital being cheaper but I guess they didn’t.
Are there any Nintendo titles that cost $80 for the digital release? Digital version of Bananza is $70. I think Nintendo is the only company that’s going to weather upcoming storm just fine since they sell toys and there’s always a demand for those.
ET moment already happened with Concord (scrapped entirely after spending absurd amounts of money) and Veilguard (about to be added to cereal boxes just to recoup some cost).
I would say that this is an indication that Piefed support is on the cards but might require development on Piefed end too.
Switch 2 desperately needs Splatoon 4 :(
[edit] saw Switch 2 upgrade news, this will do for now :)
You should have gone with Hall effect replacements since that’s a permanent fix. Not knocking on your effort, it’s a delicate work and you’ve got some practice in for the time you’ll have to go back to do that :)
This is to make Game Pass appear more valuable, nothing more.
Apple not keeping legacy cruft is why they were able to move to ARM so quickly. For all the grumbling about cutting 32-bit support couple of years ago, this is what allowed them to do that (among other things). And, as demonstrated, developers like Valve take action only when they are forced to. Windows and Linux on ARM are stuck in the mud with no end in sight while Apple is almost done with the transition.
