In this day and age where most of not all modern media library management software can decipher almost anything without any problem, is that really an issue?

Its not good for the general aura surrounding the release. I don’t follow the game actively but all I hear is negativity.

I know I can’t escape Google’s Orwellian surveillance entirely but I limit what I can, and adblockers/ trackerblockrers play a huge part in this.

Revanced is pretty much perfect for my needs.

And SmartTube on my Android TV.

Its an in house utility… But I would assume something similar already exists out there

Its a very simple low ressource video server utility that I'm using for easy access at work.

Its basically a stupid low footprint plex-like local web server that uses the browser's internal HEVC support to play and cast to my TV.

With MS hinting at SAAS for Win12 with Copilot, this will be a good test.

Nobody can profit off "monthly usage credits" or without a subscription.

At least not until the tech becomes more affordable.

Firefox doesn't have native HEVC support. So I switched to Opera because no other browser except for Safari has that feature.

Supposedly Edge has it, but couldn't get it to work on my media server app.

I tried Opera on a few of my devices lately and frankly I'm impressed by the responsiveness. I still can't get rid of Firefox but I find myself moving over to Opera more and morem

VLC but it wasn’t love at first sight, but it opened a whole new world of FOSS to me

To this day I still don’t know why the fuss about VLC, I prefer MPC-HC

There’s your problem. Hiring an entire team for 6+ years and then cancelling the project. That’s hundreds of thousands, if not millions, down the drain.

The current AA / AAA gamedev industry isn’t sustainable

That’s a silly excuse. At roughly $20 / TB, a 150gb game shouldn’t be an issue

Sad to see a developer go but Saints Row was a cringefest.

Lightyears away from Descent

I’m so happy for these guys. Can’t wait until tomorrow to finally play the game!

It’s almost like they want to make absolutely sure that it will fail

They can take all the time of the world and I’ll be there when it’s ready. The things the devs must have been going through… it’s a miracle it hasn’t been cancelled at this point

Still twice a much as a series S. $600 is alot of money for many people

I wonder why MGS let go of the Alan Wake franchise. The first title was such a great story driven game. It’s one of those games that sticks with you for a long time, if not ever.

I’m glad Remedy found a way to get the franchise back

I can easily see this being as big or bigger of a franchise than TES

Not everyone is able to afford a gaming PC, let alone a current gen gaming console.

Series S offers them a great opportunity. It is far from a mistake.
