Microsoft cracks down on emulation in retail mode
posted 3 years ago by pdawgg302 3 years ago by pdawgg302 +21 / -0

Series X/S owners now have to pay for dev mode to reactivate emulation.

And surprise, wouldn't you know it, Nintendo strikes again.

Unless you're willing to move to Linux/OpenBSD, I would be very fucking cautious of becoming complacent of PC. And even then.

Steam Deck is our salvation. Microsoft is such a clusterfuck. Thank god Linux is getting better.

Yup. People wonder why I'm not very harsh about Valve not cranking out games at the same rate as Ubisoft or EA. It's probably because they're making affordable gaming hardware that doesn't screw over the consumer while bringing Linux more to a mainstream audience.

from what I read, valve is extremely disorganized, each small group decides what they want to work on, with no clear directions from the top, the hardwares people aren't the game developers (if there're still any such groups at all)

This, I got my SteamDeck in November, and the customization options and emulation potential have hooked me. This is the legitimate most fun I've had with a console in years
