Microsoft is looking for it and it wouldn’t surprise me if they are paying a decent penny for it to try to stop the Linux gaming momentum the deck is driving.
It’s entirely irrelevant to me. I don’t care what the specs are if it’s just running Windows.
I just hit the little up arrow. It was pretty easy, actually.
Even with good internet infrastructure that can handle the bandwidth, I’m not really interested in cloud gaming because of the latency.
Though I do think that it’s a better way to handle anti-cheat than allowing the companies to install rootkits in your kernel. And you can’t really get around the latency issue with online shooters, either you run the game locally and have cases where it looks like you hit on your end but didn’t on the server’s end, or you have a case where you hit the trigger on your controller when the shot was lined up but don’t see the shot go off until it’s no longer lined up. Ultimately, I think the latter is a bit better because then you at least see reality on your screen, even if it’s more frustrating to interact with. Better than a more interactive reality that is more like a hallucination.
I believe PlayStations tend to become profitable a few years into the cycle.
Being able to pivot is an important part of being a software developer. Technologies come and go faster than careers do.
Sometimes they do, but they usually have a golden parachute that makes it still a win for them.
It’s on game pass if you want a (potentially) cheaper way to try it.
I haven’t even watched 20 minutes about it and already know about as much as I want to know about it.
