Quoting: t3gIf gaming going forwrard is going to be created by AI, what's the point? Wouldn't I rather just not buy these games and generate the game that I want on my own?

If you think it's as easy as just telling AI to generate a game for you, go for it

Quoting: pilkAs much as it really sucks that anything below a 1650 just isn't gonna work anymore

actually it's more complicated than that. Pascal, Volta, and Maxwell can still use Wayland, they're just stuck on 580 forever. That is the 10 series, 900 series, and some of the 700 series (745, 750(TI(but not OEM)). Anything that is Kepler-based or older will be stuck on the old 470 driver that doesn't support wayland. Most of the 700-series cards and below fall in this category, as well as some of the 900 laptop chips. look up "list of nvidia graphics processing units" on wikipedia if you want to dive into this mess. Look at the codenames. "GK" is Kepler, "GM" is Maxwell, "GV" is Volta and so on.

Quoting: MohandevirThe rampocalypse will keep the low end devices with less ram (and usually lower specs to match that) relevant for much longer than usual. At least the Steam Machine will not be obsolete at launch, even with the delay.

Still, I'm waiting for the official Steam Machine price, to make a move. I've got some spare parts to start an itx build, but I'd like the quality of life features of Valve's hardware.

Quoting: dorronI see your point but can't agree. Valve is a multibillion dollar company and can take a hit easily with a loss per machine and release whenever they want it.

The shop around the corner in my neighborhood would have a bad time, but not Valve, especially when they have a money printing business by taking 30% out of each developers' sells.

Quoting: suchThis isn't a sequel, it's the second remake of TR1.

Is that what this is supposed to be? If this is going to be better than the original 6 Core Design TR games, I'll believe it when I see it. For those that don't know, the original 6 TR games are amazing 3D platformers, I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a unique and challenging take on the platforming genre. They've aged very well, and are also very fun to speedrun. Its custom map making community is also very active.

Quoting: dorronThis is getting absurd by now...just give a definite date and price already! But if it's over 1000€ it will be DOA...

Seriously, what's going on at Valve? I was expecting better from them after the great Steam Deck.

They're in the most impossible position because of the specs of it and what they can offer in terms of price with the massive price rises. They want it to be a success, so I can't imagine how difficult coming to a price will be. They have to get it right, but still...it has been a while eh.

Quoting: williamjcmHonestly, it's a goddamn shame X11 is being dropped, because Plasma Wayland is still lacking an off switch for its built-in drawing tablet support (preventing people from using official or other drivers as the two will interfere), and judging by [a blog post](https://nocoffei.com/?p=451) I've read a few days ago, Wayland in general is still lacking a lot of accessibility features meaning that people who need those features won't be able to use KDE Plasma anymore.

Quoting: melkemindOn the flip side, fully AI-generated assets also can't be copyrighted, so they'd have to claim artists "refined" them or their game's art would be up for grabs by anyone who wants to copy it.

It's not that easy. *Only* the "human" part of the work can be copyrighted, the AI-generated part cannot, so in effect the game cannot be copyrighted in full if it contains any part generated by AI, whether it's the art or the code. I wonder how they will handle that, because if they'll just slap (C) then it will be all but void. If they want to claim copyright on the game, they will have to identify and disclaim *every* part of the game generated by the AI, even if it was later "refined" by a human.

Reference: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10922

"The AI Guidance states that authors may claim copyright protection only "for their own contributions" to such works, and they must identify and disclaim AI-generated parts of the works when applying to register their copyright."

(yes, it's a US law, I'm not aware for a similar document for the EU but I guess the gist of it would be the same)
