No they wouldn't have lol, there are space concerns in a set top box that make this statement really stupid.  Especially since the APU on the XBox One fucking sucked.

an Xbox One SOC is smaller than a credit card.
if the architecture of any flavour of xbox allowed for SLI / Crossfire type setups, they would have done that for economies of scale reasons if nothing else.
Not even stacking, if they could have had 2 SOCs in a parallel configuration, even giving up the transmission overhead, they would have done that.

Google is the Dominion. PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo need to be the Federation Alliance and push back together.

Nintendo are the Betazoid, MS are the Ferengi and Sony are the Romulans I guess?

Sometimes they make it sound like Sony, MS and Nintendo are some sort of mom&pop store fighting the good fight against the evil mega corporation.
I could've sword those were also billion dollar companies.

Anyway i think the Stadia idea is a good one from a commercial standpoint, it all depends how committed Google is to brute force it on people, but general populace don't give a shit about quality, they watch Netflix over Blurays for a reason, they play Fortnite on a touch screen for a reason, they don't download 1GB FLACs or use Vinyl for a reason, etc etc.
The idea that you're watching Youtube and can start up a new game within seconds by clicking a link, is a killer app in my mind, especially if the service is subscription based, like Netflix (or Gamepass ).

Of course the elephant in the room, is (high speed) Internet availability and stability.
Input Lag is only a problem for nerds, and even then, half the people of GAF couldn't even see the frame pacing problems with Bloodborne, and regularly play on console at (sub)30fps.

However needing Fiber Optics speeds for your connection is a problem for the majority of people, not even on the planet, but in the US and Europe alone.
And when you start to cater to only the portion of public living in places with that kind of high speed connection (and no data caps)... it might as well be a niche, which defeats the purpose of catering to the non-hardcore gamer crowd.

Reee becoming a massive Disney shill/fanboy/corporate zombie operation is something else

Wonder how many people were made redundant by this merger...

I mean... Nintendo had actual yakuza ties, Sony wilfully installed rootkits via audio CDs, and MS are a legally convicted monopolist.
Compared to that baaaawwwing over Google openly telling people they give you free shit in return for reading all your emails and selling your personal data seems a weird place to draw the line.

Patreon is only e-begging if you set it up that way.
The basic structure can simply be that of a subscription model, not that different from Netflix or whatever.
Pay X monthly, to receive Y product.

Though i have nothing against a more open "just give me a dollar if you want me to keep doing this as a day job".
For artists in particular, it's a decent model.

I have a feeling this thread will end up with the discovery that OP didn't use soap in the dishwasher.

Logically speaking, he never bothered using it, so he wouldn't have dishwasher soap on hand.

And if he used regular dishwashing soap, that thread would be titled "I flooded my kitchen cause I used my dishwasher" since a non dishwashing person would put a shitton of liquid in said machine.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Patreon;  but the whining is ridiculous lol

I'm only tangentially dunking on patreon, because for every "I'm an artist working in a mostly non commercial space, and I'd like to continue doing so" there are 10+ "I argue with people all fucking day on twitter, help me stay a dilettante while I work on my screenplay" - its eras tradional rush to whine about the Fat Cat Shareholders Ruining Everything on a platform that if it didnt exist would have them earning nothing.

Given SweetNicoles previous history of history with steam users, they're awfully bullish on Epic news, and making sure negative topics about Epic are amended to include Epics stance

A cynic might begin to wonder if Epics commitment to provide kickbacks to 'influencers' and their current throwing money around might be related.

It would be the same as if MS / Sony / Nintendo suddenly stopped selling games at retail and made all future titles only available from their own digital storefront.
And also just randomly moneyhatted a bunch of third party titles for a year long exclusivity deal while doing that.

[nachobro]

epic store doesn't allow keys to be sold on 3rd party sites so the price is always higher than steam, they don't have platform level support for controllers so not every controller is supported, they don't have any kind of family share or in home streaming, also there's a whole linux thing that i don't quite understand but i guess almost everything in steam runs on linux through an emulator now?

for me its 99.9% a price thing as i don't use most of the steam features other than cloud save and sometimes streaming to my laptop. also there's no 2FA on Epic so there's a security risk there because goddam hackers really want everyone's Fortnite bux. I closed my epic account just to stop all the fucking password reset emails from that shit.

Nobody would care if Epic just had its own shop that it sold games on, a la humble / gog / amazon / walmart / et al.
Which is why they're moneyhatting games.

Personally, it's because i like to pay as little as possible for my games, and buy most of them from CDKeys and similar, so having only one storefront is shit.
But i also don't like Steam, because it annoys me having to have a client just to play a game (that's why i'd buy from GoG all the time, if they had the games, and i wasn't a cheap cunt).
