It’s almost as if Valve thought this through when they engineered the steam deck

Some people easily get motion sickness and it can be aggravated by many factors, including low and/or irregular framerates.

I’d be interested to know if people complaining about motion sickness at low fps have that issue with all games, or only FPS/TPS. And if they have the same issue with “first person” segments in movies (which are pretty damn rare in the first place, and basically always at a very consistent but low framerate)

There are some games that run perfectly on the deck that aren’t fully verified simply because you have to enter text at some point and it does not automatically summon the steam deck keyboard

They are compelled to by Australian and french laws. (There are probably more but iirc those are the 2 that were actually fought in court and cost Steam money before they added their official refund policy)

I knew I was gonna get this answer but still couldn’t be bothered to check the correct term so that’s on me.

I think you’re technically right because the EULA specifies that you basically can’t use that code (or a modified version) outside of a licensed UE project, but outside of that it basically is. All the code can be read, the engine and/or its editor and all related tools can be compiled from the source, and you can make pull requests on the official repo.

IIRC it is not actually open source because you can’t modify and/or repackage it without epic having their say in it (I think one of the licenses tiers is basically you agreeing to pay upfront + royalties for the authorization to modify the engine’s code and ship the packaged version with the project)

I mean, if you want to see some games’ source code you don’t have to rely on piracy. As other people have already said, there are open source games, some developers of older games have officially released the source code (notably VVVVVV, doom, and also quake iirc), some devs have released important part of their source code (e g the entire inputs handling code of Celeste).

Additionally, the vast majority of all Unreal Engine games’ engine code, including huge AAAs like Fortnite, is in Unreal Engine (duh), which is open source source-available.

There is some stuff I don’t dislike about Netflix’s Witcher, but god damn, I feel like they actively set out to do the worst rewriting ever with how they treated/portrayed basically the entire Lodge of Sorceresses

Tbh they seem to be a lot more “hands off” with non-canon stuff, which I think includes all of the LOTR/middle earth licensed games, and that’s not a bad thing imo.
