@djsumdog @Humpleupagus @ChristiJunior @admin @EdBoatConnoisseur @GLR I hear ya brother. I have been thinking lately that I'll be sticking to my PC and emulators. If it is not for sale on GOG, I won't buy it, will wait for a sale on steam, for at least 50%. Any exclusive game on console, i'll just wait for it to be playable on an emulator, I have 100's of games I have not played yet, I got time to wait.

I think I might have made a mistake buying a PS5, after 2 years, the only game I play on it is GT7, I play less and less games on consoles with each new generation.

I'll probably only save money now for a Steam Deck 2 when it comes out.

@eee @alex It's kinda fucked when you think about it, numbers are a representation of a quantity of something. Copyright of numbers feels like when companies try to copyright DNA, like Monsanto. Imagine being born, and when you get your first job, you receive a bill from some company saying you owe them millions because you have a DNA sequence in your body that is their property.

@alex Apparently, according to Modern Vintage Gamer, Dolphin fucked up by including the encryption keys, or decryption keys that the Wii uses for reading the games at the beginning, in their emulator, so, copyrighted software Nintendo owns.

Look, I hate Nintendo, very much. But I have to admit, Dolphin devs fucked up here.

1. Nintendo is threatening legal emulation...and it doesn't look good
  
  from Modern Vintage Gamer
  
  Dolphin, the popular Nintendo GameCube and Wii emulator has been removed on Steam due to a DMCA complaint from Nintendo. In this episode I take a closer look...

@alex This might be a stretch, but how about physical media actually come with the game and not a few MBs for a download link?

And maybe no day one 100Gb patch? Have the game working properly?

This might be even beyond the powers of a president.

@alex @NEETzsche I wasn't aware of that. That is hilarious. i know you can do that with Lutris, it has most emulators available to download, and retroarch. I also know that Steam has Retroarch available to download, so you can play MAME, NES, SNES, Game Boy, GameBoy Color, GBA, DS, 3DS, all Sega systems, PS1 and 2.
Steam Deck is a powerhouse.
But I like PS3 a lot and the RPCS3 struggles a bit with the Steam Deck hardware, I will definitely buy a Steam Deck 2 if it comes with Zen 4 or better in the future.
RPCS3 is very cpu heavy.

@alex I hope more companies start supporting Linux like Valve does, specially hardware companies, like Logitec, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec. The SimRacing community has a Linux group and some games run well on Linux thanks to Proton, but there are no official drivers for the steering wheels out there. A few people have made drivers for the most common steering wheels and they work alright, there is even an app called Oversteer to calibrate various wheel functions. The community is growing, but we all wish the companies would realize that too.
Unfortunately the Linux community is only 1.23% of total steam users, but now that Valve has lifted the order restrictions on their steam deck since they were able to ramp up their production, I hope it will soon cause Linux steam users to skyrocket and pass Mac steam users which are around 2.5% I think, and companies realize there is profit to be made in Linux.
