Squadron 42 finally 'feature complete', CIG talk up Vulkan support for Star Citizen

Quoting: EhvisNext free fly for Star Citizen should be for the IAE at the end of November. My guess would be the 24th, but I could be a week off.

Also, if you ever decide to give it a try and create an account, use someone's referral code. Not immediately useful, but if you ever decide to buy a game package, it could give you some extras if you time that right.

The LUG helper tool (https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper) offers random referral codes of other penguins btw ^^

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 adds offline support for Steam Deck
19 October 2023 at 6:07 am UTC Likes: 6

They really went through the trouble to implement a check for steam deck, just to prevent all others from playing offline?
Yeah, great move, assholes...

(Don't get me wrong, i really enjoy seeing the Deck relevant enough for Devs to cater to it!)

Epic Games launch 'First Run' and 'Now On Epic' with 100% revenue for devs

There is literally not a single reason why someone in their right mind would choose to buy a game on EGS instead of Steam - usually not even a monetary reason.

I mean it's one thing to focus on the devs, but if you so openly give the middlefinger to the customers and show with every decision that you don't give a single fuck about them, then not even exclusives will save you...

Valve dropped Counter-Strike 2 support on macOS and older hardware
11 October 2023 at 1:54 pm UTC Likes: 5

As Apple is insisting on using their proprietary stuff only and thus making life unnecessarily difficult for developers, this is a fully understandable step.
And unlike with Linux, macOS neither as the potential to gain significant % in the gaming market nor does it offer any real benefit/safeguard for Valve as Linux does.

Quoting: M@GOidAFAIK Apple started the Metal API more or less the same time AMD released their Mantle API. When Vulkan appeared, they had already invested a lot in Metal, so they made the call to continue that path.

Nobody stops them from implementing Vulkan, too though. It's not an either-or, so Apples insistence on "Metal only" is nothing but purely political.
