EU says it’s investigating why Apple terminated Epic’s developer account

Article:
Epic’s egregious breach of its contractual obligations to Apple led courts to determine that Apple has the right to terminate ‘any or all of Epic Games’ wholly owned subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or other entities under Epic Games’ control at any time and at Apple’s sole discretion

Unless those freaks in Brussels are a bit slow mentally, it's all there. Investigation over. How about focusing on Apple's highly anti-competitive implementation of the DMA which is affecting dozens of developers?

a missed opportunity for German developer Winning Streak Games to call it We Are Fußball.
I couldn’t agree more. The german word is unambiguous.

I think the game is amazingly stable considering it's technically still alpha, and the challenge of the UE5 conversion involved.
I 2nd that. Playing the latest experimental UE5 alpha on Tier 8 endgame state with a huge/complex factory and railroad network. I experimented with nuclear power setups but never integrated them deeply into the factory because of the known radiation issues (a.k.a. bugs).
The game is fun, beautiful and totally playable even in its alpha state. Looking forward to its release.

I don't get why people keep preordering CD Projekt games given the studio's history.
I do: Stupidity is a common, widespread problem. Many suffer from it.
Star Citizen is probably the worst case scenario that could possibly happen from preordering. The constant cash influx allows developers to slack off- afaik there isn’t even a release deadline for SC. I’m certain preordering delays a game and lowers its quality on release.

Yawn. So, 4 years have passed and this topic resurfaces again. If disinformation was such a huge threat why not do something about it? The biggest social media corporations are US based - Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram - limit their ways of giving disinformation trolls and „enemies of America“ a platform to spread nonsense. Ban TicToc. Act.
Not going to happen though. After the election(s) this topic disappears again and no one will give a damn again. Rinse and repeat. Yawn.

Gimme gimme! The mortgage doesn't need to get paid every month.

Thank God, the mortgage payments are of a thing of the past for me. Still, I consider myself not an NVidiot. My money goes to team AMD.

Admittedly, 1 1/2 years ago $999 for a 4080 would‘ve been acceptable - the card is a decent performer. But then again the typical proprietary NV BS. Nah thanks.

Blue, I think an error happened here.
It’s $48 dot 00, not $48 comma 000. One might think those jokers are charging fourty eight THOUSAND dollars for an early access game instead of fourty eight bucks.

But then again, even $48 is an unjustified increase from $27 for an early access title - I mean, what happens if this thing never makes it to a v1 release state…

All aboard the UE5 hype train !

I wonder if these engine changes are worth it for a game that has already modified the ue4 engine heavily. Satisfactory, for instance, has basically used the better part of a year changing to 5, and now the game is back to being almost as stable as it was...

The step back from that update can't even be put into words, and what an ABYSMAL stupid move that was too, everything looks like total shit now. You can't interior light anymore with glow surfaces, belts have odd angles and janky movement, physics are borked and oh the joy... they just basically pushed their stability back to what it was on launch.. of the early access. Stupid move all around.

Also my personal pet peeve is when developers use the standard TAA from UE5 - that creates one of the WORST visual artifacting I have ever seen (everything that moves, isn't just blurry, but GRAINY)

What are you talking about? I’ve experienced the transition from 4 to 5 in Satisfactory and imo it is a stable as before. In fact I’m surprised it’s running smooth as silk (after some initial heavy shader stuttering). The glitches are not engine related, most of them have been there since UE4. This game is early access in alpha/beta state.

Good to know the Everspace 2 devs put the main focus on keyboard/mouse & controller support instead of HOTAS/joystick. I’m playing Elite with essentially the only joystick available for lefties - a configurable thrustmaster 1600 (HOTAS simply don’t exist for us cripples). And I benefit from an extremely well coded keybinding support in Elite. What can be said about that in Everspace 2? Do I have complete freedom for the numeric keys?

Hahah, that XDA website hosting the article is a gigantic data miner. It’s not possible to reject the thousands of „legitimate interest“ cookies this website is throwing at you.

It’s beyond me why Blue posted this nonsense…

To me, flop means discontinued after the first generation because of low adoption. '1-and-done' products. Looks like 'AirPower' was the most recent failure from Apple over the last 5 years.
On the contrary. I believe there is a much higher chance of success for a cheaper yet more advanced/widely available and less complex future second generation device.

That Apple Vision Pro thing is going to flop fantastically: No one can demo a unit without an appointment, super limited availability and U.S. only. Powered by outdated hardware (M2 wth!!) therefore AR only, no VR capability. A ton of built-in hardware with a presumably high failure rate that will burn an even bigger hole in your wallet after purchasing the thing for a mind blowing $3500 (before taxes).

Okay, so almost two billion planets explored means - in simple math:
assuming
1) 90 days since launch
2) 1.3 million players playing Starfield daily

then each and every one of these players “explores” 17 planets PER DAY on average.

I have a very hard time believing this, Bethesda.

It says visited, not 'explored.' That could mean just entering its orbit to scan and see what's there.
Blue’s words. But even this seems highly unrealistic unless Starfield is a pure planet-to-planet hopping game which it isn’t.

I'd recommend testing this on AMD hardware. It’s a known fact that the CP2077 engine was/is optimized for Nvidia hardware.

Looking at the bundle, it's a shame some of them are the DOS CGA versions (Phantasie games), instead of using an emulator engine of some sort and running the Amiga or Atari ST versions.

I am probably going to pick up at least Veil of Darkness and The Summoning though.

Feel free to find the Atari/Amiga versions of these games and play them on WinUAE/STEEM. I’m currently playing the ST version of Star Command (the first game I ever played on PC back in the late 80s).

I totally regret having bought Starfield instead of BG3. After two hours of playtime I had realized 1) the game was average at best, 2) as a lefty I got screwed over again - until at least somebody releases a mod for this problem.
The decision to uninstall followed a week later. I’ve been playing Satisfactory since, 200 hours in this wonderful indie title (I received as part of a Humble Bundle purchase) - and of course with full lefty support.

Having purchased the „original“ crappy and bugged version a couple of years ago I guess I’m screwed. Because GOG is not offering any upgrade path to their now oh so great “Ultimate edition” - it’s €53.59 please or even €79.99 if you decide to buy later. Well thanks CDPR/GOG, lesson learned.

Uh, what? Other than Phantom Liberty (the expac, which you can buy anyway), literally EVERYTHING in this Ultimate Edition was released free to the existing player base. Buy the Expac and then update your game. Or just update your game and you have everything in the Ultimate Edition except PL.
So, what's the reason for naming it "ultimate" then? Marketing hype word? Updating the game and adding a DLC makes it "ultimate"? Thinking
