It's common practice for PC games today to launch with Denuvo, a form of DRM designed to stop the spread of pirated copies of games, and it's also common practice for developers to remove Denuvo several months after launch as interest (and the risk of piracy) dwindles. Less common is a developer publicly announcing it's removing...
In the leaked info, we know that Valve has an upcoming device that will use the same APU as the current Steam Deck. We don’t know if this will be a new VR headset or a Steam Deck hardware refresh. Even though using the same APU means there won’t be a performance increase, there could be various other improvements in an...
I don’t think current Respawn could pull it off, Titanfall 2 was lightning in a bottle with them begging EA to not have any DLC and Apex plays like shit compared to it with a predatory battle pass.

Install lib32-gperftools from the AUR, remove libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 in Team Fortress 2/bin and create a symlink with ln -s /usr/lib32/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
RIP the fixed version of SR2 PC, but good riddance to the developers (probably new ones and not the ones that made their good games) that insulted their fans after the reboot was announced.
I dropped Halo Infinite a while ago because I didn’t feel like there was enough to keep myself engaded, and the monetization just bothers me whenever I see it, but I tired it out again for Infection and ended up sticking around this time....
I dropped it in December 2021 after finishing the campaign and realizing that there were no big updates coming to the multiplayer. The game also ran and looked terrible for me, for a free-to-play multiplayer title during the GPU crypto crisis I decided to take my RX 580 out of its misery and played MCC and TF2.
I have a better CPU and GPU now but I have no desire to re-install Infinite because of the lack of content and broken promises.

This only affects people locked onto modern console ecosystems and people who don’t know piracy. The constant remastering and lazy re-releases of old games can be for worse where publisher or not the original developers can have the ability to change what isn’t acceptable today vs back then because investors want safe products. These articles can’t mention the benefits of piracy because of DMCA, it’s one of the few ways to “own” (or have a playable offline backup of) the digital media you want to enjoy.
