Why can’t they just leave it as it is? The lord of the rings movies were good but we don’t need more. The hobbit series was pretty terrible. I don’t think anyone is clamoring for more. Prequels are garbage that no one wants, and there’s nothing post trilogy anyone would care about.
Is it illegal if the creator is saying they’re ok with you getting it for free?
Why doesn’t he just put the game up for free as an option then?
The people actually making the game disagree with you, but whatever. It’s clear you’ve got no idea.
You said, and I quote:
No, the tech works content too. A lot.
The people at arrowhead that would implement DLSS do not make content for the game.
Cool! Irrelevant, but cool I guess!
At arrowhead especially, since they literally tell us on their website, the people doing DLSS would not be doing content or art or music or anything other than engine features.
Might want to check my updated post mate lol. They literally specify that they do not, in fact, do other things. I’m not the one guessing, you are. Do you work for Arrowhead?
Dlss is a hardware graphics layer and is not implemented more than calling an api.
As is almost everything in game development. DLSS is an ENGINE feature. It has to be implemented by the engine team. The people making art for the game aren’t implementing DLSS or ray tracing lol.
Again - DLSS is a low level engine feature. It should be implemented before there is even any content. Sure in a little indie studio the person doing the content is probably doing the engine stuff too, while they’re probably doing the music too, but for a game like Helldivers by a studio with about 100 people, the people doing the engine are not making content.
In fact, lets look at what Arrowhead themselves say about their team that made Helldivers 2, hey?
https://jobs.arrowheadgamestudios.com/departments/programming-tech
Engine Team We work on the core technology of our game - the engine. We’re currently using the Autodesk Stingray engine, which is written in C++. Our main focus is the engine runtime - performance, streaming and core systems. We care a lot about correctness and gathering data to make sound decisions.
See how they’re not making content?
Then there’s the “Game Code Team”. They collaborate with the content creators - Artists, Animators, etc.
Game Code Team We work on the gameplay systems and features. We collaborate with Artists, Animators and all forms of Designers to create the best possible game experiences. We work with C++ and fast iteration times is a key success factor for us.
Then there’s the Tools team: again, not making content
Tools Team We’re responsible for the tools pipeline, such as the game editor. The various content creator teams are our primary customers and improving their workflows is our main concern. We maintain and develop various tools and software, and we work with modern C# .NET and WPF.
See how they mention “content creator teams”? See how they work on the tools for those teams to use?
You still want to carry this on? You think you know better than the people that make the game themselves?
if there are no grounds for a case on intellectual property infringement, one of which is “non-profit”.
These guys have said right from the get go that they’re trying to profit off it though. Whoopsies.
Also the fact that its the exact same code that Yuzu ran, which just settled with nintendo for millions of dollars, is going to influence any future cases.
but at that point the courts might decide either way and litigation costs money.
Yeah so like I said - they have to be prepared to fight nintendo or just shut it down almost immediately.
One of the employees punched him in the face
Just for context - this is what his side of the story is, it’s not “fact” yet.
All that needs to be asked of them is “are you willing to pay the court costs associated with Nintendo taking you to court, and then the millions of dollars to Nintendo if you lose?”. If not then they shouldn’t even touch it, because Nintendo will come after them.
Downvotes keep assholes hidden whether or not they “care.”
It also keeps people that don’t subscribe to the circle jerk opinion hidden, creating an even bigger circle jerk like most of lemme already is.
The voting system has been shown to be too easy to brigade/manipulate and to just create endless circle jerks.
at no extra wholesale cost to retailers.
And at no extra cost to customers, right? Right?
In general no, they don’t. Engine programmers aren’t designing levels or characters or missions.
Also as I said, DLSS support should be in the engine before there is even any content.
They’re not an authority though. They might want to be but they’re not.
Private Internet Access. Been using it for probably 10 years at this point, never had a single issue. Their “no logging” claim has been tested successfully in court.
CEO doesn’t make decisions about what product lines to discontinue. He didn’t create the Australia day thing.
The CEO is ultimately responsible for every decision they make. He absolutely had a say in it and he clearly thought it was a good idea, and he thought his messaging was good.
Of course you fire the CEO before the enquiry, so you can divert blame during the enquiry. “Oh yeah maybe we did some bad stuff but it’s all fixed now”.
Nope, you wait until after the enquiry so you can blame them at the end and say “we’ll take action by firing the ceo”. What if the enquiry comes up with nothing bad and you’ve already fired your CEO? lol
Woolworths is not “finding out”.
Again - CEO gone. Enormous public backlash. This whole thing has even further pushed for calls for inquiries and change.
Just as it was a month ago, any assertion that Woolworth has made a mistake in discontinuing Australia day merch is just absurd.
Bet the CEO doesn’t think that. Bet the people that pushed him to retirement don’t think that. They are a supermarket, not a politician. Keep your shitty politics out of it and sell stuff that people want to buy. Note they never said it didn’t sell, they just said there had been a “gradual decline in sales”. The best selling product on earth can have a gradual decline in sales but still sell well.
Frankly, I’m genuinely surprised you’re still fretting about it.
Same with you.
I’m definitely not. DLSS support is a low level engine feature. The engine developers working on this are not working on content.
DLSS support should be in the engine before there is even any content - it should be there before there’s even a playable build.
They already host their own, XBL and PSN. They don’t want any hassle outside of that. I doubt anyone shared anything to Twitter from consoles anyway.
