The worst part was is that they WERE developing it for PC due to the existence of the leaked alpha

All console games are initially developed on Windows PC. Back in GameCube days Nintendo even forgot to delete the Windows version of Pikmin from the release image: https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_(GameCube)/Windows_Executable

You mean when PlayStation dies.

If Disney have a commercial interest in promoting their failing MCU movies through a rerelease on PC of the existing Wolverine game, they might hammer out a deal. Announcements were reversed for lesser things in the past,

they have confirmed that they won’t do that anymore.

Dude, it’s not a legally binding contract. All I wrote boils down to basically “wait and see”.

It’ll stay exclusive for a few years. And then they’ll look at the economics again and possibly reconsider their current stance.

Maybe read more carefully what I wrote. I’m aware what Sony said and I said that things can change a couple of years down the road.

Not coming to PC?

It’s not like these games ever had day 1 PC releases. I think Sony and Disney will have discussions about promoting the upcoming X-Men movie via a PC release but that’s a bunch of years in the future.

Now with merchable, cute animals and a literal companion cube named Frank?

Looks cool. Let’s see if it really stays as exclusive as they recently announced. I prefer keyboard and mouse.

Both exist.

I know. That’s why I asked which one it is. I don’t have access to my Switch 2 for a couple of days and I also don’t have any of these games, so I cannot look for myself.

I have trouble fully understanding the article. Did the games get updates, so they are FORWARD compatible with Switch2 or did the Switch2 OS get updates to be BACKWARD compatible with otherwise unmodified Switch1 games?

Switch1 games receiving updates for hardware in the back would mean Wii U and that’s obviously idiotic and Wii U is not what the article is about.

I assume it’s the developers of the listed games released updates for those for better forwards compatibility with newer hardware and the article author just doesn’t understand how direction works but I’m not 100% certain.

Apples are part of trees and I eat those. Maybe I should switch my diet towards polluting industrialists.

For those confused, I’m pretty sure the odd value sent is meant to indicate he sent what he could, or all he had left

You wouldn’t ask the bro who barely has anything left for money in the first place.

what is this curator called? I’d like to follow them :3

The screenshot is also a link.

True but registering for accounts is.

Looks like you failed at your duty of sexual education.

That actually varies by instance

Nobody’s enforcing it so who gives a shit?

Without caring to read the replies to that mail, pretty sure it’s because the forum feature can be seen as a social network and they just don’t want to deal with getting guardian’s approval and similar BS some laws around the world may require. openSUSE is a corporate-led distribution after all. They have to abide by different rules than some dude remixing Ubuntu in his bedroom.

I think the 75% number may be accurate specifically for PC game distribution, not PC game revenue.

If that’s the case, free to play games like Fortnite wouldn’t even count despite competing for the same wallets and play time as pay to play games. This also completely ignores the installed base of EGS but that is the second important thing when judging a monopoly.

In a hypothetical scenario where 100 million people have both Steam and EGS installed and fully set up and then 75 million of those people choose to buy where they get better value for their money, Steam would not have a monopoly in this case because all 100 million people have both stores installed and set up. Linking Steam and Epic accounts is possible since many years and there are no hurdles at online matchmaking between Steam and EGS users – Epic themselves provide proof for that in their delisted Steam version of Rocket League.

Only because they don’t count the Switch as handheld. Nintendo was pretty much the entire handheld market.

I don’t know what would be left by how they lay out the numbers. Switch (2) is console, Steam Deck is PC. The Chinese “boutique” handhelds by Ayaneo, Ayn,… use existing game ecosystems (either PC or Android).

I guess Playdate and whatever Atari sells these days. Can’t think of any other dedicated handheld with its own ecosystem.
