Literally. I hate this stupid "closed ecosystem" bullshit every company has a fucking hardon for. Just be happy with making billions of money.

They did and they were. But the strategy shifted to vendor lock in so that they have more control to experiment with dynamic pricing

Sony realized that with Helldivers II, and it scared the shit out of them. They glimpsed a future where they're just another publisher. That's why they panicked and forced everyone to get a PSN account, even though many countries are excluded from PSN.

If they ever stop pretending it's the PS2 era forever, they don't have a platform anymore.

The console war is over. Software has won. Now every game is on this system or that system, instead of being for any particular system. Everything is a whole computer and Sony needs you to believe theirs is different so you'll keep buying the blue boxes instead of the green ones.

Microsoft is unbothered by all of this because the Xbox project was always an effort to PC-ify the console market. They just assumed they'd own PC gaming. Aside from that little hiccup, it's gone swimmingly.

Nintendo sells plastic. They are a toy company. Video games have proven a profitable niche for them, in this brief slice of their long history. So long as there's goofy control shit they can slap on, to be the only machine that does [blank], they're fine trickling out weird spinoff games in the world's most recognized franchises.

For a while that's exactly what they were doing... https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-ditches-mention-of-pc-releases-from-business-strategy-document-as-playstations-single-player-games-now-expected-to-be-fully-exclusive

This should make anyone sneering about "democratization" think twice, especially as local models will make the capability ungovernable.

They won't. But they should.

I'd be less worried about bugs and more worried about malware. Pirated software has always been a minefield in that regard, with some warez groups having better reputations than others for not fucking people. With the ease of vibe coded ports and vibe coded malware, I'd expect to start seeing ports like these coming with trojans that turn peoples' PCs into botnet members.

Could always just try it, not like games ship without bugs already. Assuming it's meant to just take the existing data and translate it to run on different hardware, there's less room for hallucination.

I'm 99% sure it isn't Temple OS

Available for linux too...

Depending on what the folks are getting from the AI models, the answer might be "all of them". If the AI is slopping out reasonable C or C++, it shouldn't be a great leap from there to get the AI to slop together a toolchain to compile the code on most common targets. Sure, running the latest AAA game on a Palm Pilot from the early 2000's may not be a great plan, but it may be possible to get a functional binary to compile.

There is also likely to be a lot of work left to optimize a game for any particular platform. Even with all the hard work by the folks with the WINE project and Valve's Proton project, some games just run like dogshit on Linux (looking at you, Icarus). Though, the obvious next step is getting the AI models trained up on those optimizations. Though, that likely means OS specific optimization models and maybe even driver specific weights. E.g. You use the Linux OS optimization model with the Nvidia driver weights. Still, we might be reaching a day where we see popular games quickly ported to different OS's in a playable enough state.

"The most stable Linux API is Win32."

Already is.

It already has.

Also, well aside, the Bloodborne Kart creator pivoted into an original animated comedy. Second episode drops today.

If think there is one girl that should know. She is also fit.

Oh gosh I too would like to remain safe

Well the porting wouldn’t be required if there was a PC version to pirate.

Maybe a new term. pirorted.

Pirates use ports so it's okay.

It's still a port even if it's unsanctioned and spread through torrent/etc.
