Since Rockstar has yet to officially announce a PC version, "this deal will allow Xbox to market its Xbox Cloud Gaming service to PC players who would otherwise need an Xbox Series X / S or PS5 console," The Verge reported at the time.

As we recently discussed here, it won't allow that, whether because they didn't get the rights or because they decided not to do so. I would of course bet on the former, because R* wouldn't want the competition and they are not run by idiots.

Anyhoo, I wonder whether this version of the game will work on Linux. They have historically had a lot of problems with cheaters, which I have both been harmed by and benefited from at different times — when the big cash cheat was happening, they did take away most of the money that was given away, but they let people keep the vehicles and properties they'd purchased. They might well be tempted to utilize kernel-level anticheat, and I don't have Windows on my primary PC at all any more so that would be a hard deal breaker.

R* doesn't need my money, but anyway, they certainly won't get it if I can't run the game. The game probably won't run worth a shit on Steam Deck no matter what, and I imagine that the predictable effects on their decision making process won't be beneficial to me.

Even in the USA, it is illegal to use unpaid interns as replacements for paid workers.

I had a coworker at Cisco in Santa Cruz (formerly the office was TGV, which they bought) who commuted from San Francisco who was an intern who absolutely did the work of a "real" employee. However you think the world works, whatever the laws are supposed to accomplish, this is reality.

Do you support "palestine" to the detriment of the your own country and the civilized world?

That's not how anything works.

NEVER AGAIN was supposed to be FOR ANYONE.

If they can do it to the Palestinians, they can do it to you.

This all works in exactly the opposite of the way in which you want people to think it works.

Why exactly is that? How do you profit from promoting genocide?

I didn't and don't but of course their excuse will be that this is the transitional period, and we have to wait for those jobs to materialize.

And there is a kernel of truth to it, in that if it were going to happen, it would take time to happen completely.

Ofc it's not going to happen, this is fundamentally different from prior shifts and it will only result in a net decrease. This would be a good thing if the wealthy didn't hoard all the wealth... Such as if we had the balls to take it. But, too many simps.

Meanwhile people are silently reinstalling Windows or buying Macs due to the constant flamewars.

We don't need the weakest members of the herd anyway.

The amount of dead distros on distrowatch from protest forks that last a few months is shocking

No, what's shocking is the number of distros period. What a spectacular amount of wasted effort.

Multiplayer in NMS is co-op only.

If you do Nexus missions there will be other players there. Otherwise, if none of your friends join your game, you'll only see other players while you're in a Nexus.

NMS is an extremely broad but shallow game. This makes it really impressive... for a short time only.
