That is ok for NVidia, they don’t really want to sell to end users anymore. AI datacenters give way higher margins

I would say it depends who you ask. Nvidia is all up for the hype. isaiprofitable.com

Neither Gabe nor Valve will earn much from the higher price, because they have to pay a lot more for the Hardware that makes the Steamdeck. It is not that they raised the price out of smite but due to AI companies with their gigantic Hardware glutony.

Thank you for looking it up!

Buying a castle is “cheap”, but maintaining and preserving can eat up money very fast. So let’s hope that they didn’t bite more then they can chew!

Morrowind with OpenMW engine and Tamriel Rebuild mod and you should be good for some time.
- Comment on Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2, blaming 'market conditions' 3 weeks ago:
I still have games from the Snes era on my backlog, a few years will not be enough in my case. So Yes, no need to buy anything new for a very long time!
- Comment on Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow' 5 weeks ago:
Source code gets lost all the time, for all kinds of reasons.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6's Japan map is the series' best yet 1 month ago:
That is unfortunately the price to pay for having cars with original licenses, the licence givers don’t like to see their cars broken and mangled. It is not positiv for the brand marketing.
- Comment on Anyone else looking forward to the new Starfield dlc and update? 1 month ago:
I really liked Starfield and had lots of fun with it and the first Dlc.
Looking forward to playing the new one two, but not that soon. I started a highly modded Morrowind playthrough a few days ago and that will take ages to play.

It was a game for the C64 and I was 12, but I am not sure what game it was. Such a long time ago.

I can’t wait for the first videos from people who turned that Ai slime into an mysognostic, racist, pile of blue shit!

- Comment on 2 months ago:
There could be some fineprint in the contract that gives FromSoft a right to veto or something in that regard. Or it could just be respecting wishes, as others said. We can’t know and it doesn’t really matter either.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 months ago:
There are a few games that I would like to play but can’t because they have awefull cellshader graphics. I really don’t give anything about graphics most of the time (I play lots of retro games after all) but for some reason is cellshader problematic. I can tolerate it when it is a very light cellshader effect, but some games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have such a thick cellshadering that it is unbearable for me. Which is a shame, because I would love to play the games but can’t.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 10 months ago:
Just an Idea but could it be that the game was delayed because it is just not ready yet? Yes it could be an evil scheme sure, but maybe it is not. Has anyone here really any hard facts or insider information about the true status of the game?
- Comment on Bethesda is allegedly working on ‘multiple Fallout games’, including Fallout 3 Remastered, teases report 10 months ago:
Maybe Fallout 1 CE github.com/alexbatalov/fallout1-ce and Fallout 2 CE

This is correct, as long as the copy was produced lawfully, which is only possible if no copy protection was circumvented.
Section 103 (17 U.S.C Sec. 1201(a)(1)) of the DMCA states: No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.
This law was created to limit the rights from 17 USC 117, and yes exceptions to section 103 exist, but those are very specific and some of them even exclude games specifically from the exceptions.
But I am no lawyer, and as a European I only have a very limited view and knowledge of US laws, so yes it is only my understanding of those laws and I could be wrong, so don’t take my words as a legal advice or anything like that. I am only a normal human with some experience with laws and jurisdictions, but far away from a specialist.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 11 months ago:
Nearly all jurisdictions have DMCA like laws which clearly say that circumventing copy protection is against the law. So in those jurisdictions it is piracy to use a backup of a copy protected game and I am very sure that a map of the countries where the Switch 2 can be officially bought and a map with countries who have thoses laws will produce a lot of matches. Maybe I am wrong, but I highly doubt it.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 11 months ago:
You may have the right to make a backup, but playing that backup on a non sectioned device or via non sectioned means is still a breach of the TOS and breaking the license terms of the game and/or console. Oh and it is in violation of the DMCA as far as I know, because to make the backup it is needed to circumvent copy protection, which is forbidden by the rules of the DMCA (and equal laws in other jurisdictions like Europe). You may own the cartridge, but you still only have a license (with very specific terms and rules) to use the software on it.
- Comment on 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events 11 months ago:
The meaning of the word Gay has shifted a lot in different directions over the decades. Way, way back “gay” had the meaning of joyful and fun, without any form of connotation to sexuality. Just as a addition to your text, please don’t read it in any kind of negative meaning.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 11 months ago:
There are not much possibilities to legally own games left. Physical releases are nearly full gone on PC (physical boxes only containing Steam Keys), and even on Consoles they become less and less common (or turned into something like the Switch 2 Game cards). On the digital release front only GOG comes to mind as as store where one could say that one owns the game after purchase and download. Everything else only sell licenses that can be revoked or removed any moment.

- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 11 months ago:
I am close to finishing my latest Skyrim mod list, so hopefully I can start playing Skyrim soon.
Until then I play Lunar Silver Star Remake on my Switch.
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 11 months ago:
The companies could shut down their servers, if they at the same time would release the software needed to run the servers. This would allow the creation of community servers, without any costs or responsibilities for the companies
There was a time when multiplayer games all came with dedicated server binaries.
- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 1 year ago:
They have killed Final Fantasy with the dreadful FF15 and the bloated FF 7 Remake. FF16 was okish, but very boring.
Final Fantasy is only still alive because of Final Fantasy 14
At least that is my opinion
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Mod Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 1 year ago:
Official Mod support often gets added later, Starfield for example was launched without and it was added later. This is a general trend nowadays, mod support for Baldurs Gate 3 (as an non Bethesda example) was added later too.
I am sure Oblivion Remastered will get mod support, and I would be very surprised if mod support will not also come with Creations integration.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 year ago:
The Bethesda feel is way I buy the games, the Bethesda feel is what makes the games. So I really hope that the Bethesda feel is still there.
