How is the Xbox market related to SteamDeck? SteamDeck plays PC games (which XBox doesn't), and XBox plays its own console games (which PCs and thus the SteamDeck don't)
The Venn diagram of Xbox games and PC games is very close to the Xbox circle just being completely inside the larger PC circle. The number of Series S/X exclusives is literally zero at this point, at least I'm fairly sure, and if there are any, my bets are on them being shovelware. The Xbox One only has one exclusive game of note, which is Halo 5.
I don't think the performance of the Steam Deck is up to play all Xbox games at Series X quality, but that's a nitpick assuming future Steam Decks arrive.
just FYI, there are some very obvious inaccuracies (stitching artefacts?) in this map, especially noticeable e.g. on Roosevelt Island around Roosevelt Bridge, or naround Pier 17 next to Brooklyn Bridge
There's a strange error where half the Broadway Junction subway station just... disappears. And seems to be replaced with some generically hallucinated city blocks? But that's the thing with AI, the quality control at scale is tough. I'm just happy this seems to be about 99.9+% accurate.
I never understood why people focus on this "reading aloud" so much.
It's not so much about the reading out loud, it's about making sure you understand (so that you cannot later claim "but I didn't know about this, nobody explained it to me properly")
What does reading it aloud make a difference to you reading it yourself? You can still claim that they misspoke or had an accent and you misheard or any of a dozen other excuses.
The whole point of a contract is you sign your name to the words on the paper, and you are attesting that the words therein are correct and what you agree to.
As someone who hasn't watched GoT, only heard of it from others, let me guess: In those two episodes everyone dies a very cruel and painful death, except for one or two main characters?
Everyone already died a painful and cruel death for the first four seasons, that was what made the show so compelling to watch.
From that point on, everyone gets 10 inch thick plot armour, and then the last two episodes skip a whole season or two of character development to try and box the show off quickly.
If literally everybody had died in GoT and the White Walkers had destroyed the world it would have been an infinitely better ending than what they actually wrote into the show. It also would have been on brand for the show and the books themselves.
Television writers pussying out in their finales is its own meme at this point. Makes me respect David Chase and how The Sopranos ended all that much more.
No. At least in some countries (e.g. Germany) they would be forced to reimburse every buyer if they removed access to a game someone bought.
The fact that somewhere deep down in their EULA there might be words that make it clear that you're not really "buying" anything, just renting/leasing/whatever, wouldn't stand in court since the important part is the big shiny "Buy now" button, and "buying" has a specific meaning here.
So yeah, the only way they could "take the games away from you" is if Steam went bancrupt
yeah, that's the whole point, thye still let you install the games you bought because not doing so would open a huge can of worms and re-start the whole "are you really buying games on steam or just renting them?" discussion, which they are very keen on avoiding
