1·7 days agoPRC does business with everyone, criminals like Putin included, as EU does business with criminals like Netanyahu. Difference between neither Putin or Netanyahu can set foot in Europe, since they are wanted criminals by International Criminal Court.
Or at least they are not allies as we mean it
Of course not, Putin does the war crimes, PRC does the business with said criminal. It’s just business, you see.
…in league with war crimes but still, just, business.
As not being lap dog of someone like?
USA: lapdog for billionaire
Russia/China being lapdog for each other as one wage war and the other profit from it?
There’s no need for nationalism: Europe can do well with other decent countries, which are not Russia, USA, China and closeted allies (such Israel/India). Australia, Canada, Japan… basically any country of this planet which is not a dictatorship and,at very last, adhere to the International Criminal Court.
Like fueling, ICC’s wanted criminal war, Putin’s economy as he wages war on eastern Europe?
1·9 days ago… Like the refound policy, it’s not like big billionaire have any kind of obligation towards people’s health and safety: they can model the world just about those “special” islands they party all time
Everyone pretending they all friend to “surprise arrest him”: he wouldn’t go anyway, since already know is “legal status” + plus his party saying “see? Nobody is really upset with him”
Everyone reaffirm publicly he’s a wanted criminal: their party just shut up on his global legal status + his adversary party should remind israelian people the criminal they are paying.
Russian also are supposed to know they are supporting a crimina… or be aware of their willingnlfull ignorance (which is pretend to not know)
found only pay/cookie walled ones.

They have a phone with 24GB ram.
Didn’t check this, it’s actual ram or a clever use of swap file as branding joke?
Well, you have to go with loss leader for a long time… then progressively bullying your own customers to arise the price until reach parity.
…from then you finally earn by continuing bullying the remaining customers as some sort of whales (people keep paying for shitty service due to constant spending habit).
I don’t see why this would work with the simple concept: pay & get value that come with indie.
You need a big plan to screw your customers and, like Google Stadia, carelessly drop millions in the trashbin just to buy that only lucky ticked that made Netflix win (but you did lose)
Any crime done by a spy in one nation is “a solve” from the side of the other nation.
…instead like, you know, being unemployed just because people are angry; I guess.
Piracy increase the sales. AAA companies are dumb enough to not even understand what actually draw sales with demo and shareware.
Forgive & forget: don’t play, don’t talk, don’t share products of the IPs from companies you want out of the game: forgotten.
Chinese pirated copies in internet cafe for shady activities: usually Valve fixed this data in the coming days/hours. But I think it’s nice to have a snapshot: a sudden motion of 30% would technically mean a sudden switch of millions of customers (or a bunch bot machines well placed)
PC today sold at 1500€ will be sold at 500€ in 2028, so… yeah, I don’t know what people is thinking.
One could say “you’re missing the whole picture, Alessando: in 2028 people would want to buy shiny new 2028 PCs capable of 2028-tripleA-gaming”
But this is also not the whole picture: if a brand new in 2028 that cost 501€ (500+1) doesn’t, at very least, match a 1500€ from the 2025 PC… it simply mean that only rich idiot will buy brand new PC in 2028 (aka: OEM won’t simply sell new stuff)
Snapdragon platform is already tailing PC gaming… if OEM won’t sell new X86 PC, Snapdragon (and like) are coming to get that hole in the PC market.
(but my true hopes are in RiscV: ARM holding can easily dragged in the hardware AI hell as well as AMD and Intel were)
But y tho
Nvidia, Intel and AMD: their business now is circular money with AI and not PC gaming industry anymore.
I think it’s more about the general bombing all around; Russian bombing, Israel bombing, USA bombing. They don’t quite hit the EU itself… but they are bombing around (except the side where’s the Ocean and North Pole: they don’t bomb those).
Second hand market: “I am a joke to you?”
Depends on the government involved: Roblox tax money factory for US government, which considering a certain island, currently aren’t too keen get in too many details in wealthy predators.
(Each government around the worlds got their own, BTW)
Steam got around 132 milion scrive users monthly: target the “some” of the most wealthy is what “most” AAA publisher, that sells at AAA price are looking for. It’s not about “some” 3080: it’s about starting from there and add all people that paid premium price for their upgrade above that.
Bluetooth controller do exist by quite some time. …also bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
…ad also USB-C hub that recharge/give power, offer HDMI/DP port and usb slots.
I recall Ubuntu Phone back in 2011 was set to use these features to give a complete computing, Ubuntu Linux, experience on smartphone (and TV, as the smartphone connected to TV)
Currently Valve is the only billion dollar company who invest in Linux gaming industry.
…incidentally is basically the only billion dollar PC company who invest in PC gaming and don’t have any kind of conflict of interest with Console (Microsoft’s Xbox? any major AAA game company who also publish/make exclusives to console? Epic Games’s Fortinite earning is 48% Playstation, 27% Xbox and remaining 18% for Nintendo Switch/Android/PC)
So, yeah, the earning on the only billion dollar company who is 100% all in in the PC gaming industry matter: those stats matter for Valve, at the very least.
