We change constantly. Not sure what happens tomorrow and the past is something we learn from.

    i can’t agree with this general statement. i guess it’s important to understand that a lot of the multiplayer games you wanna currently play have some kind of protection which makes it currently not suitable to run on linux.

    just to give a different view mp games which currently seem to work ( checked protondb ):
    - Eldenring Nightreign
    - Dark and Darker (used to work)
    - Helldivers & Helldivers 2
    - Arc Raiders
    - Counter Strike
    - Overwatch
    - DOOM in very different versions
    - Quake Live
    - Hunt Showdown 1896
    - Dead by Daylight
    - Warframe

    with all respect for the games you currently love so much, please don’t make general statements.

    A personal advice i want to give: Only change to linux if you are also willing to change yourself and adapt. Linux is not Windows like, Mac OS is not Windows , like a Playstation is not a XBOX or a Switch.

    My take is a little different. If people really want AI they should pay additional cost and AI should be a addon feature on your PC.

    Additional Costs -> more powerful AI centered Chips ( as least as possible power consumption ) which can use much much more local fast memory ( imho 256 GB should be in the long term the minimum ).

    That enables local AI’s to be the solution for privacy and control of long term costs and i guess in 99% local AI’s will do the job fine enough.

    Sadly noone will be on our side cause they want to put AI Usage / PC Usage overall behind a monthly subscription in the long term.

    Right now we are just as always in the phase of making people depending on a technology.






  • @FishFace @x00z my small thought -> i think today no solution can prevent “cheaters” because you can’t differ “cheaters” from users anymore if they want to.

    Here is why ->
    One PC is running the game -> a second PC emulates Keyboard and mouse inputs using a CAM (Capture Card) / Sound (microphon / digital capture) and an on the Game trained AI.

    So what does any “cheat protection” offer if they don’t protect against serious cheating ?

    PS: “The only still working protection is lan play with control over hardware / software and players like done on real events”

    IMHO: Advertisment is another word for recommendation. While advertisment is seen as bad a recomendation isn’t.

    So what advertisment never made happen is making themself usefull to the consumer. Most consumer want maybe a !!! usefull recommendation !!! but not someone trying to force you to buy a certain product.

    So what was the time before ads … it never existet … even before tv radio had advertisment. Even back in this day people hated the advertisment and did music recordings cutting the advertisment and talking out.

    Some old people might remember press record … press stop … rewind a little bit … and all of this.

    The alternative was to pay alot of money for music …
