Anyone else excited for the steam hardware?I really like the idea of having a VR headset that runs linux. Can't wait to view dmesg in VR!
Dont want it but i hope it benefits pc gaming in a positive way
I'm excited for the gamepad it looks interesting. Currently using a DualSense and XBONE depending on the game.
>>108667702Given their success with the Deck I'm thinking people will ultimately be happy with the new stuff. The price for Frame/Machine is gonna be painful though.
>>108667702it looks very comfortable to wear unlike quest or index
>>108667702Steam Machine is DOA, it's genuinely weak unless you are going to play 2d platformer, and hades on it lmao.
>>108667702the VR headset is too low level for me but I hope its a success just to get the user base up
Don't buy one.
I am interested in the headset but its still LCD and the price might be quite high. Also it was announced in november and I wonder when they are planning to release them.

>>108667982>>the Steam Machine is too weak to run PCVRfr? i use a literal 4050 laptop and i can do VR just fine. the only one i have most issues with are games modded into VR but actual VR titles are totally fine
>>108667982Doesn't the Frame have some parallel processing thing where it can share the processing load with a PC? I remember Valve filed a patent for that.
>>108667702>DRM cuckbox
>>108668565BasedFunny how people are so against "you will own nothing" except when it comes to their heckin' valve summer sale (lease)Most gamers are literal drug addicts thoughbeit, this is why corporations like Valve, Nvidia, EA etc are able to effortlessly take advantage of them>t. 2 years clean of lifelong bing bang wahoo addiction
>>108668491No, it supports just streaming from a PC. The Machine will probably be fast enough for some lower-end games / at lower settings, but that's about it.
>>108667702I wish they would make VR that is inclusive for people with less than perfect vision.
>>108669962I remember seeing that they filed a patent for a deckard (now frame) add-on that would allow to correct for your prescriptionwell, technically speaking it's much more powerful than that since it's basically holography, in addition to theoretically being able to correct for any eye aberration (not just sphere and cylinder), it could be used to basically add real depth to the imagebut yeah solutions are>prescription inserts>rare headset with expensive and shitty diopter adjustment>wait for holography to make its way to VR
>>108669921The frame has it's own cpu and fex to run gamesthe steam machine is as fast as a 5800x3d
The vr is going to be amazing, I already know it. The controller is also going to be solid. I just wonder what industry insider knowledge steam has to decide to make the GABEcube. Do they think consoles are going to be discontinued or something?
>>108667702>DRM cuckshed
>>108670083First 2 is fair. And (You) know they other too are the MOST UNBELIEVABLY KEKED ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET
>>108670083you can pirate every single game you play on steam hardware
>>108667702For the VR no.From what I heard, inside out tracking still isn't as accurate as lighthouse tracking.And for the Gabecube not really. I already have a nice PC. I am interested in getting a mini PC for general PC use and having my gaming PC as a strictly gaming platform. The Gabecube might work in that category, but even the lowest spec version would be over kill since the most demanding think I'd do is stream movies. So even if the price is right, I need something that's also power efficient since it would be running alongside my gaming PC. I'm on the fence of getting a Chinese mini pc or a Mac Mini or w.e. they're called.
>>108669894 hereforgot to tell but i'm trans btw
>>108670127you don't need a fancy $100 pc to play movies lol
>>108670106Am I retarded?>inb4 no
>>108669921Huh. I distinctly remember that patent from Valve in relation to a VR headset. I guess they couldn't get it to work and dropped it or something.
>>108667702vrset and steam deck when theyre available againmaybe the controller once my switch 1 controller breaks but so far its lasting way longer then the ps4 and xbox1 controllers I used for pc before it
>>108667960What do you mean by low level?
>>108670058It does but it's ARM so don't expect it to run much. It will probably be able to run the lightest VR games around and some basic PC games projected onto a virtual screen. I expect this to be mostly a "we have the hardware, might as well" kind of feature, I think if you're planning to buy a Frame based on the idea that it's going to be tailored for standalone VR gaming I think you're going to end up disappointed.>>108670302I don't know what the patent said regarding load sharing or whatever. The headset is almost certainly going to be running its own side of things, for example the video processing from the general headset & controller position tracking and from the eye tracking as well. They're certainly going to run that locally on the headset instead of sending video from the cameras to the PC.The headset however won't be working together with the PC to run the actual game though, that's going to run on the PC and get streamed over to the headset.
>>108669894you can't tell the difference between a fun hobby and a crippling addiction
>>108669894>thoughbeithello tranny
>>108667957This. I'd pay maybe €400 top for it, and that's already too much considering that a Series S/PS5 can be found around that price. Even €600 gaming laptops are better in terms of performance than the Steam MachineSteamies are over hyping it way too much >>108667982>>108668175The Steam Machine will be fine for VR. It's 2026, even entry level GPUs can do PCVR gaming.I used to play a lot back when I had an RX 6650XT + Quest 2, games looked and ran fine. >>108670127Either get an $80 chink Mini PC or a cheap Android TV. You don't need a Mac Mini or the steam thingy to stream movies lol >>108670154So heckin wholesome sista!
steam would’ve geberate far more goodwill by devoting reaources to keeping the millions of existing Windows Mixed Reality headsets out in the wild working i. Steam since Microsoft decided to smother the WMR technology with a pillow while it is still in its infancy
>>108670548im not OP but they are likely talking about the lenses and the pass through camera and hand recognition. Last specs I read about it put it lower spec than both the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Meta Quest 3 witha PC link cable has been the ultimate VR value for quite some times. And Valve isnt really attempting to compete on that level. They are trying to sell a Meta Quest 3S competitor for the premium Index price
>>108667973i say this and i look like this
Just here for the steam controller 2. I love my original 2 I have.
>>108667957>too weakIt's in between a 3050 and 3060 when it comes to power. That's more than enough to run almost every single game at 1080p or even 1440p@120Hz without using FSR.>but modern slop games!Just like most PC gamers, I don't care about the handful of AAA titles which can't run unless you have the latest $2000 GPU.
>>108667702Company that doesn't design their own chips is not a serious hardware company.
>>108667702>ram>gabecube>ever
>>108676241You don't need more than 8GB RAM for gaming.
I'm gonna instantly buy the controller. I've been using a wired Xbox controller from 2015, and even though it still works, I still want to go wireless. Not to mention I've been holding off playing all the games I've been wanting to play just for the steam controller...
>>108667702>cuckcube

>>108676501>>get slammed in the ass with online DRMSteam does not require DRM, you can publish game without one. Also, the DRM steam provides can be bypassed by simple universal DLL hack, and it even works online using steam networking via online-fix/space war. That's pretty neat.>>if you log on your friend gets kicked offThat's not how it works. You do not get kicked off when you log in.Why do you write such an emotional post if you don't even know what you are talking about?

>>108676538I could play none of them, it doesn't matter for this argument. What matters is that after steam I have much larger collection of games to borrow and play with even less effort, which makes your whole argument about ease of sharing moot.
>>108676531you are trying too hard to guzzle gay ben's kike cum

>>108676310Sharing or selling RuneScape accounts was a bannable offense. Hosting your own server for an MMO was legally gray or illegal even back then.Re-sales of CD keys were also illegal according to most EULAs back then. The internet just made this easier to enforce.Companies never want you to own anything. Valve didn't change this, they just moved this concept to the web. Nobody forced other companies to do the same.>>108676528>That's not how it works. You do not get kicked off when you log in.This is exactly how it works. He's talking about game sharing on Steam.>OLD; Simultaneous Play: Only one person can access the shared library at a time. If the owner starts playing any game, the shared user is immediately locked out or must exit.>NEW; Simultaneous Play: Members can play different games from the shared pool at the same time. If multiple members want to play the same title, they must own multiple copies of that game within the family.Also>Steam does not require DRMIt effectively does. You cannot launch a game without having the Steam Client unless you fuck around with the game files by removing the DRM.>>108676469Are you one of the retards pretending piracy is difficult and inconvenient? Downloading a game from a piracy website is just as easy as downloading a game on Steam, except you don't need to register an account or your debit card so it's actually even easier.
>>108676552i don't think you understand what drm is if you think those terms aren't worse than what steam offersyou don't belong here, consolecuck, the very purpose of the hardware is to rape your rights
>>108676570>>OLD; Simultaneous Play: Only one person can access the shared library at a time. If the owner starts playing any game, the shared user is immediately locked out or must exit.He claimed that>if you log on your friend gets kicked offWhich is wrong.You are describing different scenario.>It effectively does. You cannot launch a game without having the Steam Client unless you fuck around with the game files by removing the DRM.You can. It's up to the developer to add DRM to their game. If a developer does not add any DRM to their game, you can just launch it without steam. There is plenty of games like that.
>>108676570>Are you one of the retards pretending piracy is difficult and inconvenient?Answer: NoNext question

>>108676650see >>108676559
>>108676629yes, objectively more restrictions are placed on console gamesno mods, disc always in, no customisable settings options, requiring specific hardware, uncertain backwards compatibility, no control over the operating systemand if you don't like those terms? nothing you can domeanwhile steam's restriction is just not going for the suicidal move of letting you trade digital licenses and if you don't like using steam then you can bypass it in 1 minute
>>108676650You are trying too hard to fit in. DRM cuckolds do not belong on /g/.
>>108676678see>>108676552the fact is, console peasants have more rights than valveniggersthat's why you're subhuman nigger trash not even worthy of pity, you are scum not even worthy of breathing free air
>>108676591>He claimed that if you log on your friend gets kicked off>Which is wrong. You are describing different scenarioNo, that's exactly how it worked with the old family sharing feature. With old family sharing, if you log into a friend's library to play a game, then your friend logs in and tries to play a game, you would be logged out.And it still works this way today.1. If you do family sharing, you cannot play the same game your family/friend is playing.2. If you're logged into the same account on multiple devices, you cannot play the same game on both devices at the same time.Compare this to GOG where you can install the same game on as many devices you own. GOG won't come to me and kick me out of a game on my Steam Deck just because my wife is playing the same game on my PC. And GOG won't force me and my friends to buy the same game just to play the game together, we can just buy 1 copy and share it.GOG >>>> Steam. The only thing Valve is good for is making Linux gaming work, that's it.
>>108676692no, they don'timagine being on /g/ and trying to identify with stallman when you're arguing for use of hardware where the operating system is a complete proprietary shitboxyou're pathetic at larping

>>108676748it's not valve that's preventing you from installing steam on consolesit's the console corpos themselves, they locked down the hardware and everything goes through them because they can't stand competition
>>108676749I read it, and I am not going to address it. You are moving the goal post.You initial argument was that by logging in your friend can't play anymore, which is obviously wrong.
>>108676742I've never spent a penny on anything DRM. Nice projection though DRM cuck. Unlike you who has spent thousands to own absolutely nothing.The last game I ever bought was Oblivion, and I actually own it and can do anything I want with it.

>>108676885>gogyou're not allowed to share their licenses and the store is performing so poorly that cdpr sold itthey're only allowed to exist and make pocket change because steam set the bar for drm pretty low, all it offers is the ability to install games offlineyou get the same effect by downloading steam games and cracking them and it takes about as much effort too, it's basically just a flavor>>108676906but you're talking in hypotheticalsby endlessly raging about steam you're implying that things would be a fucking utopia without them when there are clear signs that shit would only have gotten worse
>>108676896The newest console I own is a PS3 that was a gift that hasn't been turned on for 10 years and which I've never personally purchased any games for.But at the basic level, I still respect console faggots more that Valvetard DRM cucks like you.You defend your DRM cuck cult like a religion despite the fact they utterly destroyed all of PC gaming rights. Meanwhile consolepeasants actually tried to rebel against both MS and Sony when they tried to pull off their online DRM shit.Even when consumer rights groups tried to restore rights for PC gamers, you actually sided with the DRM kikes. You are literal untermensch.
>>108676943no, you're just a frenzied retard that can't use basic logic to understand the consequences of his choicesyou can't allow transfer and reselling of digital licenses, it's simply not feasible and it will end with everyone re-arming their games with aggressive drm that locks games down to accounts, hurting everyone who was okay with the system meanwhile the games that don't do it suddenly have all their long term revenue cut to zero

>>108677227you're unironically defending console drm, pretending gog is any better, sit in the past believing physical can survive and you don't understand the basic economics of why digital reselling is simply unviableyou have nothing, you're twisting yourself into pretzels because all you're motivated by is pure emotionderangement
>>108677182No, if you go by actual laws both are in the gray area.But, the GOG EULA would be ruled as invalid in almost any European court. The fact is they sell games as perpetual/indefinite licenses and effectively sell them and treat them as products. They also advertise the games as completely and forever DRM-free, which would mean their licenses are irrevocable and non-enforceable aside from the basic copyright protection laws. A GOG user has a complete right to give or re-sell their game as long as they destroy their own copy of that game even under the current laws. And with Stop Killing Games this will become an EU-wide and probably a global law.
>>108677182EULAs are not legal, the way they dictate terms is often illegal and thus will never hold up in court. It's why suing over EULAs almost never happen. But then a DRM cocksucker valvedrone wouldn't know about that would they?Here's what one developer decided to put in their EULA to dab on your DRM cuck store.https://store.steampowered.com/eula/1091500_eula_0?eulaLang=english
>>108677255no, if the law was ever to crack down on gog they would drag steam into ityou'd be getting the same outcome
>>108677280>they would drag steam into it"the law" won't "crack down" on GOG. A customer would by suing GOG or reporting GOG to consumer advocacy groups. The thing is nobody cares about this because people who would buy second hand games will just pirate games for free instead. So there's no real second hand market in PC gaming, which is why GOG isn't being fucked in the ass by regulators.But if you were to drag down GOG into a court you'd win a legal battle to be able to sell your game. GOG would have to remove access to that game from your account, then transfer the game to the buyer's account or not do anything in case the buyer is buying the game offline.Technically same would apply to Steam, yes, but there's a much stronger case to be made against GOG. Especially since Steam abstracts this a lot more and tightly ties gaming to their client. While GOG games are primarily distributed as offline installers, just like a home console disc would be (and home console physical games can be resold, 100% legally, despite the fact that many if not most have EULAs stating otherwise).It's the same shit as the red stickers placed on top of screwdrivers in some hardware where you're told "unscrewing this breaks warranty" despite that not being enforceable, at least not in EU.
>>108677346>But if you were to drag down GOG into a court you'd win a legal battle to be able to sell your game.even if we assume it'd go just as you say with no knock on effects and steam was never involved, then what?gog would just go bankrupt, they'd become a case study as to what not to doif they were legally obligated to not include any drm then people would grab the installers, hold onto them on their backup drives and sell themyou've effectively turned your game into shareware and no one would put their games there and what's there would be making no money for gogresellable digital licenses are simply perfect>physical is limited by condition, digital isn't>physical is limited by being tied to an object that needs to be moved, digital isn't>physical needs you to move your ass to sell or buy it, digital can be done with a few clicks>physical delivery time is limited by the speed of mail and costs money to move around, digital can be sold to someone on the other side of the planet and they can be playing the game within the hour

>>108677420>gog would just go bankruptYou do realize people keep saying this for years because GOG games are DRM-free and they're trivial to pirate? You can ALREADY download ALL GOG games FOR FREE and verify they're the original, untampered game installers. Yet GOG has not gone bankrupt. Why do you think that is?>if they were legally obligated to not include any drmThey already don't include any DRM, what the fuck are you on about?>people would grab the installers, hold onto them on their backup drives and sell themYes, welcome to flea markets. People do this all the time in some places. People have been doing this ever since the PS1 was released since CDs were easy to copy. This does not affect sales just like re-selling physical copies or pirating does not affect sales.>>108677451Read my post you're replying to. It's not needed in the case of GOG since anyone who wants to get a cheap or free GOG game can just pirate it. No re-sale mechanism is necessary.As for why nobody has done it it's obvious, money and control. But I have some suspicion that the EU will soon crack down on this and force digital storefronts to allow re-selling software or at least games for now. The crux of the SKG meeting at the EU parliament was that digital goods are being sold as physical goods and we should have the same regulations and rights with both since we live in a digital age.
>>108677451Few people give a shit about reselling. People care about easily lending or giving away their old games, a concept alien and frightening to Valvedrones because it's "bad for Gay Ben" and hurts their DRM kike store.
>>108677486>You do realize people keep saying this for years because GOG games are DRM-free and they're trivial to pirate?there's a massive legal distinction between reading between the lines and pirating and pirating and getting your money back being directly encouraged by the lawgog is already failing, cdpr sold them offyou don't sell something if you think it can make money>what the fuck are you on about?i'm talking about the scenario where they're forced to make things resellable, drm would be the only way to protect their revenueif they can't do that then they can kiss making money goodbye>People have been doing this ever since the PS1 was released since CDs were easy to copy.

>>108677535>drm would be the only way to protect their revenueGames sold on GOG are fully DRM-free yet GOG was fully functioning for almost 2 decades even if you think that their recent change of ownership means it "no longer works" as a platform. So clearly DRM is not needed to "protect revenue".>and if that happens then the entire industry will move to aggressive antipiracy measures that put you back at square one, aggressive drm that can't just be lifted by replacing one fileI'm perfectly fine with that as long as it means I can re-sell what I buy (without being forced to pay some middleman fees) and as long as DRM-free platforms like GOG and itch.io remain active.Basically, if Steam makes an uncrackable DRM scheme but gives me the option to sell anything away from my library to anyone with no discrimination or fees, that's perfectly fine and it's MUCH better than the status quo of paying for a game without actually owning it.I care less about GOG having a "re-sell a game" feature since it's already DRM-free and I'm not being micromanaged if I legally own a game or not and who I give my game away to.

>>108676570>It effectively does. You cannot launch a game without having the Steam Client unless you fuck around with the game files by removing the DRM.This is just a retarded statement. It's 100% up to the game dev whether they include any kind of DRM or not. Same goes for mandatory steamworks integration, the developer can make steamworks a required component to run the game but they do not have to if they don't want to.Plenty of games on Steam can be copied from 1 computer to another and then run without even having Steam installed on the second computer.
>>108677963>you'd get the same thing but now everyone content with steam and willing to work around its limitations is fuckedGood. Fuck Valveniggers. You fucking cucks destroyed PC gaming.

>>108678036Shut the fuck up, retard. Just admit you were wrong and kill yourself to save everyone else the suffering of having to interact with someone as low IQ as you.Whether all games on Steam are DRM free or only a handful are makes literally no difference. The statement I replied to was "DRM is mandatory on Steam, you cannot launch a game without Steam running and you have to modify the game to get rid of that", when that is very obviously wrong. You can launch DRM free Steam games without even having Steam installed. You'd only need to use Steam to download those games.Also that list you posted doesn't even include the one game I know from personal experience which has no DRM. That's a very complete "all DRM free games on Steam" list you got there. >>108678029I don't give a fuck about your special snowflake DRM definition. To me DRM is software that tries to prevent you from infringing copyright and I don't care to argue over any other retarded and useless definitions.
>>108677963>i wouldn't call it fully functioning>more like subsisting and now it's questionable if it even does that if cdpr didn't think the passive revenue from it was worth holding ontoGOG was sold back to one of the original co-founders who still owns a huge chunk of CD Projekt. And the platform only got better last year since they've added a bunch of community mods and patches for some games directly to their store, they started hiring more people to improve their own client and website, they started hiring people for Linux development, etc. This is not a sign of a failing business.CD Projekt separating from GOG was more of a management or reorganization move than anything else. They probably did this to make sure each entity can focus on it's own goal rather than having to satisfy the same shareholders. They likely also did this for tax reasons. As you've said GOG isn't as profitable as CD Projekt, but this would also mean GOG alone might get better tax breaks due to lower profit margins.At the end of the day GOG is still owned by one of the biggest shareholders of CD Projekt, so the companies are still very tight.>DRM would be focused entirely around preventing reselling entirelyWe already have this now. The difference is: it would be legally mandated that people CAN re-sell games. DRM preventing this would be illegal.>this wouldn't be improving anythingIt clearly would. People would be able to sell the games they've purchased. Meaning actual customers are wasting less money, sales would also be much higher. Piracy would potentially go down. Everyone wins, except pirates. Which I'm not that opposed to since we already have terabytes of pirateable games and it wouldn't mean DRM-free games would cease to exist.>you'd get the same thingNo, you wouldn't be scammed out of your money. People who want cheap games would be able to buy them through the 1st party store.>>108678041Ye, the guy interjecting is not me

>>108672042>This. I'd pay maybe €400 top for it, and that's already too much considering that a Series S/PS5 can be found around that price.

>>108678529>what you said doesn't exactly debunk what i said>for cdpr selling gog was obviously only a financial decisionI'm not looking to debunk anything, we don't actually know the real reason why it happened. It happened behind closed doors. I'm just saying that finances may be a part of it, but they're unlikely to be the main reason.>if what you said is true and it's being sold back to the original owner then that means it was an ideological decision, like musk buying twitterThat's exactly what the public was told. They said that they want to separate GOG from CD Projekt because:a) GOG is a pro-gamer passion project which doesn't need large profit margins while CDP is a profit driven game dev studiob) Some of the founders were unhappy with the lack of innovation and effort coming from CDP regarding GOGc) There were fears that CDP would distance itself from the original goals of GOG and screw over consumers for a profit gainI agree with you that the GOG model is *potentially* less financially lucrative than using DRM like Steam and Play Store do. I'm just saying that them being DRM-free does not mean they're unsustainable or collapsing. They recently started hiring more engineers, which you don't do in this economy unless you're financially doing well.>games would be released like gachas but you're paying for all the gameplay piecemealI mean, that's just speculation and this is already happening anyway. But I personally wouldn't care. I vote with my wallet by not buying games as a service or games that have DRM or a ton of DLCs. That's why I primarily shop on GOG, itch.io and HumbleBundle.>if you push them hard enough they'll just stopAnd I'm fine with that too. A business that cannot exist without exploiting people should not exist. Might as well argue for slavery and tax evasion at that point.
>>108677486>verify they're the original, untampered game installersoff topic but can you explain the best way to do this i have a few from varying years and i heard the signing changed on the installers whats your method?
>>108678864yes, there's no point in talking about gogit's not the drm free model that's making them barely subsist, it's the low demand for it, their niche is irrelevant for people as steam is more conducive to actually playing games>I mean, that's just speculation and this is already happening anyway.not at all, that's hyperbolewhat would happen is that every single part of the game would become a service and you'd get no baselineimagine minecraft but you're paying for playtime like arcade machines and where you have to unlock the nether and the end by paying smaller sums that in the end add up to the price of the game>And I'm fine with that too.

>>108679089>imagine minecraft but you're paying for playtime like arcade machines and where you have to unlock the nether and the end by paying smaller sums that in the end add up to the price of the gameAgain, this is a non-argument. These types of games already exist and have already existed since forever. Ever heard of World of Warcraft, the monthly subscription game which also requires you to re-buy the game every time an expansion is released? Ever heard of RuneScape, the game where you need a monthly subscription to access 90% of the content? Ever heard of The Sims, the game where you need to buy 20 different CDs to get all DLCs? And these are just examples from 20 years ago. Ever heard of Hearthstone, MTG Arena or Yugioh Master Duel, the games where you pretty much have to buy game pieces? Ever heard of Genshin Impact or League of Legends etc.? And as you've already said, arcade machines are also an example that this was happening since forever.Shit games will be shit and shit distribution/access methods will exist no matter the laws. And no matter the laws, there will always be good indie and AA games which aren't anti-consumer.But forcing game stores to let people sell games would be a 100% pro-consumer move in every aspect. There's no negative impact here.>those who don't like it have avenues of bypassing itBreaking the law and risking infecting your PC with malware as a way to "bypass" the flaws of the current model isn't a good thing, anon. It would be better for everyone involved if people could re-sell games.>you can pirate, it costs nothingAnd you will continue to be able to pirate even if you can re-sell games in storefronts. But this allows you to get non-pirateable games cheaper.

You're delusional and just parroting the talking points of big corpos which want to take away your freedom and property.Indie developers almost always make DRM-free games anyway. The original Slay the Spire, Terraria and Stardew Valley are 10-15 years old and get 10k-50k monthly Steam players. By your logic they would get 0 sales and players just because they all offer DRM-free versions on GOG. Anyone can RIGHT NOW easily download a GOG installer of one of these games and get a permanent, albeit illegal, ownership of the installer and play the games FOR FREE. Meanwhile when you actually open your eyes you'll see that the studios of these games are still working on them, after a decade. If piracy or re-sales actually killed sales, these games or even console games wouldn't exist.Also, this would actually BENEFIT indie devs.Just think about the 2nd and 3rd order effects here. I, as a paying customer, will buy 10 games at full price. Then a year later I'll sell them at 20% of the original price so I can afford 2 new games I want to play. So instead of amounting to 10 sales, I actually amount to 12 sales. The players who will buy games from me are not interested in paying the full price, or clearly even a 10%-70% discounted price. They would never buy the games anyway or wouldn't even be on the platform if they couldn't get re-sale deals. So there's more exposure at no cost.>in this system you'll either have hardcore drm that you can't just bypass by replacing a single file 10 minutes after launch or won't have games to pirate at allAgain, stop spewing nonsense. We've invented multiple forms of DRM over the past 30 years and yet DRM-free games are still being sold. I have a feeling you're deliberately being retarded here. What you're saying is a blatant lie.

>>108681961>valve is at fault for microsoft killing off the operating system
>>108681987valve is at fault for making the game be reliant on a DRM that requires internet connection, despite having the full game on a disc, when it did not need that and now requires a crack/steamemu to work.
>>108682002>valve should maintain support for windows xpbe an adult for once and place the blame at the entity that shits out operating systems and kills them
>>108676866You're in every single one of these threads saying the same old shit using the exact same language every time. You have decided to build your entire personality around this. Are you the Mac and AI and babyduck schizo as well? I think you are. Your a fucking retard, son. It doesn't matter how much you want to turn this into your life's mission, it's just computer games. Pirating all your shit doesn't make you a freedom fighter, it just makes you a russian. You're also a fag. For your information, I don't even game so call me a Valvenigger all you want, all you're doing is feeding your profound mental illness. I would say get help. I don't care if you do. So I'm just going to laugh at you, like everyone else in this thread does every time you post your next clusterfuck of bullshit and faggotry. Grow the fuck up sometime you schizo motherfucker.
>>108676943>>108677116if you don't want to obvious samefag stop using the same terminology in all of your posts.
>>108681667you get your shit banned all the time and you're too young to have been on 4chan for 20 years. everything you say and do is a lie. and it's all you have. that's kind funny to be honest.
All I gotta say is assuming they price it OK (depending on market conditions) I might get one because I've fooled around with both long HDMI cables and streaming and both are tedious in their own ways. So maybe having something dedicated would be good. That said I have enough spare parts around, I can build something possibly, but an integrated package looks nice.
>>108682592the real upside of it all being one one board is that you can take it into a car and not be worried about the gpu raping the pcie slot out of existencethis thing would make for a killer lan box
>>108667702Yeah I'm interested in all of it, if the price is right
The gabecube isn't a bad idea since good small form factor PCs are usually overpriced as hell. But there's no way it won't be overpriced too unless they throw in the towel and offer a ramless version.
Hardware? more like vaporware Valve should either sell it at a loss or just cancel it - cause it wont be worth the real price
>>108667702I've wanted to buy into VR for a long time, and with all the money I have from selling CS crates to losers I'll actually be able to afford it. I hope it's a fucking good deal.
>>108682018>Don't blame the company that made the product!!!Those boots must be tasty.
>>108684951That product being windows?
>>108685393Windows XP still works. Steam on Windows XP not so much. Valve made the changes that made Steam not useable anymore and not Microsoft.
>>108682424>>108681843
>>10868539370% of games on Steam were XP-era at the time and still worked on XP, Valve decided to tell everyone on XP to fuck off and deny access to their entire library of XP games.Guzzle that DRM cum more.
>>108685393>buy gog game on xp>installable and usable on xp forever>buy steam game on xp>steam tells you to get fucked and stops supporting xp>cant play any games at all anymore on xp, cant even build a retro setup because steam DRM flat out prevents installation on older OSs>repeat for vista>repeat for w7>repeat for w8>repeat for w10 in a year or two as welland valvecucks will just bend over and beg gay ben to ream them harder
>>108685456>>108685500>>108685521windows xp hasn't been supported for a long fucking time and it was explicitly killed by the company that made ityou're choosing to use a dead os and complain it's not unchanging like a fucking consoleif you want to use an os with less than 0.01% marketshare that no modern hardware supports then put in the work to make it work, retards
>>108685569can't hear your valvecuck coping over the sound of me installing and playing TES morrowind on my dedicated 2005 pentium 4 XP gaming system
valve is genuinely one of the most insidious companies of the modern erataught multiple generations to love drm, the inability to share games, nfts, gambling, grooming kids... the list goes on
>>108685592>grooming kidsare you the retard that wants digital ID?
>>108685632no. don't be retarded.i think if you're a company that sells products to kids, runs a defacto social network for kids, makes mountains of cash, you should spend some of that cash on moderation. gabe's yatchs are built off the back of thousands of molested children.
>>108685646how do you prevent kids from gambling without making steam enforce digital id?
>>108685653remove the gambling and all incentives that encourage off-site gamblingit's pretty easy actually, we didn't have any of that stuff before steam outside of a handful of degenerate mmorpgs
>>108685665>it wouldn't exist without steamok, start lobbying the government to ban casinos
>>108685679casinos don't let kids gamble(online casinos should be banned btw)
>>108685680casinos invented the practiceyou can't prevent kids gambling without digital idlive in the real world and propose real solutions, do you support digital id?if not, then the blame sits firmly with their parents
>>108685591Morrowind runs fine on my zen 5. Also works on windows 11, even if that's not what I use.
>>108685693as i said, online gambling should be illegal (including betting markets)but it's nice that you've moved away from talking about videogames and onto just gambling to deflect from the jeffrey epstein of videogames aka gabe newell tb h gabe makes jeff look like an amateurlet's talk about videogames againyou sound like you're addicted to opening lootboxeswe need to help you
>>108685703yes, it should be illegaland how do you enforce it?go on, real solutions here, digital id?
>>108685693>digital IDCrazy idea but preventing kids from getting addicted to gambling could be done by actually PARENTING the kids?But no, let's just strip everyone of their right to privacy instead!
>>108685706how do you enforce making online gambling illegal?the same way you enforce running child porn websites illegal.raid and jail the operators of the websites.this is really not that hard, anon.
>>108685713>raid and jail the operators of the websites.amazing idea, turn law into an offensive cudgel that lets anyone use kids to jail the competition
>>108685713That would just push them into hiding - gambling on the dark web using Monero.
>>108685719>muh slippery slopejust admit you have gambling problem anon.you should sue valve, really - they seem to have done some real damage.>>108685721yes, and it would massively reduce the scale of the problem. no solution is perfect, but it's better than inaction, complacency, or worse yet advocacy.
>>108685729you're the one that is so mindbroken by them that you want a government to create a vague law that can be used offensivelyeither lobby for all gambling to go or shut the fuck upor blame the parents, kids don't get money out of nowhere
>valvecucks unironically defending child casinos to shield their fat kike DRM overlord from criticismcant make this shit up
>>108685736>vague lawdoesn't sound very vague to me>or blame the parentsof course i blame the parents. but i also blame the predators like gabe who wait outside the schools leering at kids.
>>108685745>predators like gabe who wait outside the schools leering at kids.You better provide source if you attack someone's character like this, buddy!
>>108685771
>>108685745>doesn't sound very vagueare you stupid? you're making excuses for casinos so you clearly don't mind gambling, but you want to have a law that somehow prevents kids from gambling despite not bringing up any fucking way to identify those kidsfuck off retard, either ban all gambling ever or let valve farm low iq cattle and retards that can't raise their kids, darwinism
>>108685783i'm a libertarian you see.i believe if an adult wants to walk into a casino, present some id, sit down and play some poker, that's their right.why do you want to ban that?you sound like one of those concerned mums who like to ban everything.
>>108667702I am very excited
>>108685783Isn't it funny how they pretend to care about plebs while constantly raping said plebs with inflation? They would use us as fuel if it wasn't illegal to do so.
Gaben and Steam stays winning
>>108685795yes, lolberts are known for toothless idealism and retarded ideasyou can't enforce your law without turning it into an offensive tool
>>108685804Me too! I've already stocked up on VR games/tools in preparation of finally getting my mits on a Steam Frame.
>>108685828>I've already stocked up on VR games/toolszamn, you got all 5?
>>108685824>cuckboy takes it up the ass>bleeding out from his reaming>has no games>has no rights, only licenses>has an empty wallet>claims victoryfriend's kid turned 5 this jan, gave her my old DS lite and games, a completely alien notion to valveniggers, because the basic premise of which requires comprehension of the concept of ownership which valveniggers have never experienced in their lives
>>108685862stop ban evading already
>>108685862>gets butthurt about DRM>somehow OK with games being tied to specific hardware (cartridge)Very confusing, anon.
>>108685828I think Metro Awakening is on 50% discount right now.One of the few good VR games.
>>108667702I would love to but the only way to get one as a SEAmonkey is importing them from Hong Kong.I don't feel like dealing with potential malfunction with zero support.
A youtuber uploaded his review of the Steam Controller, it got pulled, but he revealed the price is $100. To me that does not bode well for the price of the other hardware. It's not a $100 controller and Valve specifically went towards the cheap end of materials to keep the controller price down.
>>108686045>Valve specifically went towards the cheap end of materials to keep the controller price down.it's the most advanced controller out there by specs alone
>>108685862Not reading that, stay mad desperate thread spammer
>>108685923>gets butthurt about consoles>somehow OK with games being tied to specific hardware (x86)Very confusing cope, valvenigger.
>>108686067beg companies to submit risc-v designs to tsmc theni hope you're not an armcuck
>>108685569>windows xp hasn't been supported for a long fucking time and it was explicitly killed by the company that made itAnd Valve knew that and still made the changes that killed Steam on XP.I don't even use XP but your stupidity and boot licking should be called out.
>>108685923>>gets butthurt about cars>>somehow OK with public transit being tied to specific hardware (rails)>Very confusing, anon.valvetards can't even come up with a logical strawman
>>108686094valve has no obligation to support an extinct version of windows because of your nostalgiaeither move to linux or install cracks, no one cares what you do with something obsolete like that
>>108686107At least you accept that Valve is at fault and not Microsoft or any other company.
>>108686107console peasants have a million problemsbut waking up one day and getting cucked out of all their games isnt one of them unlike valvedronesKEK
>>108684816sex with shondo
>>108685700people really don't appreciate one of the only good things microsoft has done: compatibility modespeople on windows take it for granted that you can just launch shit from decades ago, but try doing that on mac or on linux, and the vast majority of the time it just won't work without a VM (and even then...)
>>108686141>the burial service is at fault for someone's death when they've clearly been stabbed and allowed to bleed to deathyou're a child>>108686182>but waking up one day and getting cucked out of all their gamesnice fanfictionxp was at 0.1% share before steam stopped supporting itno one is suddenly losing their fucking games, they're sticking to e waste 15 years past its prime as a retro fetishidk if you know how computers work but obsoleting hardware is a price you pay for having infinite backwards compatibility and that's a way better deal than having cucked and frozen versions of games
>>108685828>>108686010>alyx on discountHMMMMM
>>108684816you ready to spend $800+?
>>108681247>the situation would change DRASTICALLY if everyone with a steam copy could suddenly sell theirs for less than what the developer sells it forOkay? I really don't give a shit. Having the ability to sell the fucking property that you buy is significantly more important than the bottom line of a gaming company. I don't give a fuck what it will cost or what it will do to the community of game pirates, which seem to be your only concern. I want actual ownership. I do not want digital slavery.>you fundamentally misunderstand what i'm saying>again, DRM free does NOT mean digitally resellableYou have absolutely no idea what I'm trying to convey. Read everything again carefully...A DRM free game is effectively a free game. You can get it for $0. It never has to be purchased because it can just be pirated for free. If the ability to get indie games for free is not crushing indie game development, then the ability to re-sell games will have absolutely no impact.You're saying that if I sell a $20 game to my friend for $3, this will hurt indie devs. In reality my friend can just pirate the game anyway. So the worst case scenario is "nothing changes". But in reality this would only help indie devs. Because now I have an extra $3 to spend on indie games which I wouldn't normally have.>NO ONE would buy a "new" digital copy when a "used" copy is exactly the same and cheaperBy your logic games are basically killing themselves whenever the developers place discounts...You're just factually wrong. Most people have a limit of what they're willing to spend on games. If a $20 game never goes down to $5, then many people will just never buy the game at all or they'll pirate. But me selling the game for $5 would result in an economic contribution to the system. There'd be less of a demand for piracy, so game devs will get paid more.
>>108686365>The landlord was at fault and not the guy stabbing him with a knife.You're an even bigger child.
>>108685804don't get too excited. It's not a disappointment but close.I have mine for 5 days only but it is very meeehh.Especially when you take into account a price regular people will pay>$1099 basic version
>>108686550>1099they've said mutliple times it'd be cheaper than an index, and the full index kit is 1079it's likely they were talking about the headset+controllers kit which is 799the base model is going to be in the 600-799 range for sure. +100-150 for the bigger storage version and whatever dumb accessory like a bag or something they'll add
>>108686508but valve didn't stab anyoneyou know who did? microsoftvalve had discontinued xp support 5 years after microsoftin 2009 when microsoft discontinued mainstream support its share was at 61%in 2014 when microsoft discontinued extended support its share was at 6%by the time valve discontinued its support its share went down to 0.1%valve had waited for NINETY NINE POINT EIGHT PERCENT of 2009 xp users and NINETY EIGHT POINT THREE of 2014 xp users to leave
>>108686663>valve had discontinued xp support 5 years after microsoftYes which makes it 100% the fault of Valve. They knew there will be no update to Windows XP but still changed Steam in a way that it wouldn't work there anymore.
>>108669962You know the valve index has room to fit glasses right? You'll get slightly less fov cause the lenses are father away though.
>>108686686>it's valve's fault for not encouraging use of software with outdated securitydo you think being forced to shit on a toilet is a violation of your freedom?
>>108686486>Having the ability to sell the fucking property that you buy is significantly more important than the bottom line of a gaming company.and that's a retarded and solipsistic view, the world doesn't revolve around you> I don't give a fuck what it will cost or what it will do to the community of game pirates, which seem to be your only concern. no, you're only concerned about YOURSELFyou ignore that pretty much everyone who uses steam is satisfied with their service and you think that because you can't have your pipe dream that everything deserves to burn>A DRM free game is effectively a free gameit's not LEGALLY a free gameand that's what you're proposing here, free legal copies for everyoneyou can give someone a pirated copy but that doesn't carry the legitimacy of giving him a legal copy, it's not encouraged>By your logic games are basically killing themselves whenever the developers place discounts...they choose to do thatdo you think they'll choose to get $0 per copy?> But me selling the game for $5 would result in an economic contribution to the system.and not to the developer, it's like piracy but legal
>>108686696No but the toilet manufacturer coming into my home and taping the toilet lid down is.
>>108686744no, your plumbing doesn't comply with the standard required to be connected to the sewage system and you're upset that they don't want you connectedif you're so impoverished that you're stuck with some shitty pentium and can't upgrade to shit that's literal ewaste that can run 10 that's on you
>>108686718I'm done arguing with a person who is objectively wrong and makes disingenuous comments and arguments.
>>108686861there's nothing disingenuous here, you're just hellbent on myopically pushing to have more and morebarter is the foundation of humanity, not entitlement, you compromise or you have nothing to compromise over
>>108667702I'm not much interested in hardware anymore.I just want a computer that work as well as it did with Windows 7, but this no longer exist.I'm using linux that is the best option but it's still shit.
>>108686883Windows 7 was also quite shit. Even 10 years ago Linux was in a much better state than Windows in some areas.
>>108686897In terms of "just work", it was great. just work, don't get in the way, don't bother you, don't want to be the star and so forth.Windows 10 work against you half of the time, and Windows 11 is basically that "TRAITOR" meme shit.Linux works for you but it's a bit wonky.
