Who cares, as long as it has enough oomph to make good expansive games at good frame rates without costing a kidney and your firstborn, that's all we need. Maybe it will be good to have teams incorporate more graphics programmers instead of cheaping out and having just artists working with middleware, churning out unoptimised trash...

Or, they fuck off leaving space for competitors to develop. Isn't that the essence of capitalism? I guess the US keeps living in the "rules for thee but not for me" philosophy.

Yes, you would. Some of the best alternatives are German (like Hetzner) and they don't take off because of US government influence stopping local businesses from accruing profitable contracts both in the private and public sector.

I'd love to see tariffs on US tech Invaders and a moratorium forbidding US companies from buying EU direct competitors for 20y. A cursory look over the meta anti-trust suit should tell you why. Meanwhile MS has killed Nokia, Skype, still owns (and continuously enshitifies) Mojang, just to name a few.

Deals with Australia are a dangerous thing. See AUKUS. I'd be unsurprised to see the US leverage their outsized influence over AU to pressure France.

If the SD pans out well in the control scheme, this one is going in the library.

And here it is gents, this and some old fashion bribery nicely explains why NV got some tariff and export restriction exemptions. The US government is a good old fashion racket.

Before the sale when Igor still wrote for them, Tom's was pretty well respected as was Anand.

I just want more hollow knight with tight gameplay. Gimme more insect metroidvania and I'll be happy to participate. I honestly don't know what the hype is about, it's a good metroidvania, they just have to deliver more of the same. What are people expecting? What hype are we even talking about? It's been a long wait, that's it.

Edit: If they make it a Switch 2 exclusive I'll never buy it out of spite, fuck Nintendo, long live FOSS and Linux gaming.
