I Cast Fist

They take that as “hoard more money yes yes”

Frankly, I’ve never touched the online part in GTA5 but I hear it’s quite successful.

The microtransactions kept a very steady flow of hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter to Rockstar, so yeah, it’s absurdly successful

let’s wait and see how the coin does at the end of his administration.

Pfft, I’m betting he’ll rugpull in a month, tops, possibly before february even starts.

Thomas Crooks tried and fucking failed 🤦‍♂️

And trump intends to keep it unregulated because of course he’s seen the quick buck he can make with that scam

It’s not a crime if it’s the president, the scrotus said so

It’s somehow even worse than NFTs

but lets just say they use a super underpowered graphics card. or very little ram, or hard drives too small to install most games on etc

That’s why PC games have always had minimum hardware specs listed. Potential buyers will have to keep that in mind if the device they’re getting happens to be too weak to run something like CP2077 or Horizon Zero Dawn.

While I find it unlikely to happen, I can totally see an OEM doing that, the “absolute bare minimum SteamOS” (AMD A6-7000, 2GB RAM, 16GB HD), but the bang for the buck might make it a total sales failure, because unlike a general use computer (such as those walmart cheapo win10 with no usable disk space), buyers of any steamdeck-like devices have a very focused use case of games, so the minimum acceptable specs will probably always be halfway decent

I don’t think hardware vendors will use chips or parts that lack decent working linux drivers, which would make the “too many hardware variants” point moot.

Then again, higher ups are known for taking stupid decisions.
