Put your game on GOG, or I’m gonna steal it.
It saddens me what a DRM shill you are
TFW PS5 only.
Console exclusives have a logic to them, it takes extra time and money to translate a game to be playable on different hardware.
Store exclusives do not make sense. No game is only purchasable at GameStop, and the only reason for it is to avoid competition.
Both major consoles run on x86 hardware now. I mean, if a bunch of Brazilians can hack the PS5 version of Spider-Man 2 to run natively on PC, it can’t be that difficult for a AAA studio to port their console exclusives to PC.
Being x86 or not doesn’t have much impact. The CPU instruction set is dealt with by the compiler, and the only differences that show through will be which memory access bugs and race conditions end up having symptoms. The effort comes in because the GPU is programmed completely differently, so a lot of the rendering code needs to be rewritten from scratch, most PCs with good GPUs don’t have unified memory, so you need to manage when things are transferred to the GPU and back, and you’re not targeting one single piece of hardware, but instead many different ones that support different features, perform differently when asked to do the same thing, do different things in cases where the API specification says they can, and do different things when there’s a graphics driver bug.
Things aren’t as complicated as they were when porting things to and from the PS3, which had co-processors that had to be managed separately, or from the Dreamcast, which had a GPU that supported a bunch of things that couldn’t be done on a PC GPU until around 2010. The change wasn’t down to the CPU, and was instead that consoles no longer have weird extra hardware that PCs don’t, so you can typically just try and do the same things in the same ways and it’ll almost always be possible.
Put your game on gog so pirating it is piss easy.
DRM lover
Gog is DRM free, my guy.
Yet another benefit of pirating GOG games.
Whether or not it is on gog doesn’t really impact how easy it is to pirate. For me it’s almost like streaming where the convenience is so high that I’d rather just pay on gog and get the perks that come with that then look elsewhere.
I just like how they package things, and I’m a Linux user.
Nah, I own most of the games I have stored executables for, I just don’t have the most faith in the future of American internet, so making my own repository of easily installable pirated crap is more like a failsafe.
is this website full of children?
Capitalists do whatever they can get away with to goose profit.
Which is basically everything since they hired the people who wrote the laws and bribed the politicians to pass them. (see ALEC)
What is immature to doing what can be gotten away with to them in kind? Isn’t that just, as the capitalists say, exercising our highly virtuous rational self-interest?
Why yes your honor, I did pirate 47TB of games. But as Infomatics90 clearly indicated, my reasons prove I am a child, and therefore I argue I can’t be tried as an adult. I rest my case!
