Nee, das ist musikalisch gesehen stinknormale Popmusik, das ist nicht der Grund für seltsame Reaktionen.
Das sehe ich jetzt überhaupt nicht so. Der Song ist gerappt, mit einem minimalistischen, techno-artigen Beat. Sehr weit entfernt von typischer Popmusik.
Yeah, I think I know what happened here, as I just searched “Steam TOS” and this site came up, simply titled “Terms of Service”, which includes almost the same passage. But that’s actually the TOS for the game “Rec Room”. So it looks like search engines are screwing that up, making specific games’ TOS look like Steam’s TOS.
Naja, aber das Thema des Artikels ist ja die Reaktion des Publikums. Und da sollte man vielleicht schon in Betracht ziehen, dass die versteinerte Reaktion nicht auf irgendwelche verletzten konservativen Werte zurückzuführen ist, sondern dass den Leuten vielleicht einfach die Musik nicht gefallen hat.
Aber irgendwie wundert es mich nicht. “So rein musikalisch nicht meins” erlebe ich irgendwie viel zu oft als verstecktes “irgendwie schon ganz schön schräger Kram, aber ich will auch nichts dagegen sagen, weil ich sonst als nicht so tolerant rüberkomme, wie ich mich gerne gebe.”
Für mich geht es eher darum, niemandes Musikgeschmack beleidigen zu wollen, weshalb ich da eine respektvolle Formulierung verwende. Ich würde mir diese Musik nie freiwillig anhören und würde sie im Radio sofort abschalten, aber Toleranz heißt ja nicht dass ich alles mögen muss. Wenn andere Leute das mögen ist das vollkommen ok.
Ist aber eben auch reine Interpretation der TAZ dass die Reaktion auf ein konservatives, geschocktes Publikum zurückzuführen ist. Nachdem ich mir einen Teil von dem Song auf Youtube angehört habe weiß ich nicht ob ich dort jetzt wirklich anders reagiert hätte - nicht weil ich es skandalös finde, aber musikalisch kann ich damit überhaupt nichts anfangen. Zumal dann auch noch so früh am Morgen…
until Microsoft announced a tighter grip around Xbox recently
It was Asha Sharma, CEO of XBox, who announced that, calling it her decision.
Insane. Xbox’ new leadership seems completely clueless when it comes to gaming. They’re destroying their most valuable assets.
Best possible outcome for those studios at least. Whether all the other changes have any positive impact, I guess we’ll see. I’m not too hopeful though.
I think laws could be used to put some stronger responsibilities on the parents. Unfortunately, some of them don’t care whether their children are on social media or what they do on there at all. So when something happens to a child who was too young to join social media, parents would bear some responsibility for that. Guidance is great, but not everyone will take that offer. I’m not in favor of abolishing the minimum drinking age (which is 14 here btw) either.
Notably none of the questions they asked were about age verification though. I support a minimum age for social media too, but I don’t support age verification measures.
Yeah, I don’t disagree. As of now this is just one person with an issue out of an unknown number of Steam Machine owners. It shouldn’t be blown out of proportion.
If I was that person though, I’d probably ask Valve for a replacement unit, even if it works for now.
Saw the full video on reddit. It’s from the perspective of a motorcyclist who gets harassed by a large group of youths swarming him and this kid in particular was extremely aggressive and tried to attack him, so he chucks him into the rice field. Without that context, it definitely looks pretty bad…
Calling it resolved immediately after it booted up again seems a bit premature though. I’ve had a few major PC hardware issues where I managed to get it running again for a short while only for it to fail again soon after. This issue happening in the first place does likely indicate some hardware fault with that person’s Steam Machine.
Makes sense, we developed a whole genetic mutation for it!
Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the License you must retain the original Product logo when distributing the program. Pursuant to Section 7(e) we decline to grant you any rights under trademark law for use of our trademarks.
Am I understanding this correctly that you can’t remove the logo, but you also aren’t allowed to use it as it’s their trademark? So creating a legal fork is essentially impossible?
In many games it does, but I’m not sure this comparison is a good example of that, as it shows persistent CPU stutter on Linux. With those spikes, Windows would be the smoother experience even if the average frametimes are slightly better on Linux.
To me it seems like any kind of communication in multiplayer games has gotten less and less over the years. Used to be pretty common to just talk about random stuff with random people in games like CS, DayZ and even Overwatch years ago, but in recent years, I hardly remember any instances of people using voice chat at all, let alone using it to say anything positive. So if this is true and common for Arc Raiders, which I haven’t played, it seems to be a positive outlier. Also curious about other people’s experience.
The entire games industry, and software development in general, is unstable right now. The few companies that are still stable aren’t hiring. If you have a job, you try to keep it. Because trying to get a new job will be an absolute nightmare. I’m in that situation myself right now.
