RAGE PC Texture Fix Coming

[Oct 15, 2011, 2:37 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

John Carmack tweets about plans for a new texture option in the upcoming patch for the Windows PC edition" of RAGE, id's new first person shooter: "We have a bicubic-upsample+detail texture option for the next PC patch that will help alleviate the blurry textures in Rage." A follow up tweet offers more on this: "@DesignerDon our first test of a higher res page file didn't help much, because most source textures didn't actually have any more detail."

The problem with Valve is they have to make sure they get a cut of everything a developer they don't even own makes. I don't blame EA for wanting to cut them out and sell DLC the way they want to in games THEY publish. Fuck Valve, no different than any other publisher out there.
Valve doesn't demand a cut of DLC if it isn't sold via-Steam. That's the point. They only stipulate that you must be able to buy all DLC through Steam as well, which is a fair request. Otherwise developers could add new content in a patch which downloads via-Steam and yet keep all the profit themselves by selling it through their own website. That means additional costs for Valve with no ability to generate revenue from it. The changes were necessary to prevent abuse AND to allow them to offer free-2-play titles.

In the end Steam actually benefits customers, which is why gamers have embraced it. EA digital sales used to expire, which prevented you from being able to redownload them. It took them years to change their tact and that was a direct result of Steam.

Considering the amount of exposure that Steam generates for titles and the costs of providing unlimited redownloading and patching of games, updates which are charged on competing services like Xbox Live, it's not unfair to take such a cut and it is less than physically distributing a game. With Steam a title can continue to generate income for as long as Steam exists, whereas physical distribution is incredibly limited.

Steam offers online storage of game saves, 1GB of online storage for screenshots, achievements, matchmaking, voice chat, additional game tools (SDKs, soundtracks, dedicated servers), game trading, item trading, online, hassle free installs, the ability to check for driver updates, etc. And Origin uses 84MB of RAM when idle; Steam users 12MB. Meanwhile, Origin offers... a bigger cut of the revenue for EA. Just look at the EA store - it's loads of overpriced EA games.

Bash Steam all you like but you can piss off if you're trying to tell me that Origin offers more to gamers.
