Yeah that's a lovely gesture. Kinda like that kid who died of cancer and 2K made him a claptrap in BL2 as a tribute. Touching :)
 
Yes, it is nice to see companies do this. You have such a dedicated fan who loves the things you create, gives them joy. And their last want is to play your next creation, it's a beautiful thing the impact games have on one's soul. It's a simple thing to do to help pay back their loyalty and make their last moments easier.

This was one of the reasons I have always wanted to be a Game Developer, to give people something to enjoy and love. Sadly this kinda thing doesn't happen often and the toxicity of gamers has made me change my mind and pursue other software engineering professions. Maybe one day I'll join a project...

That is how it always starts out (Valve, Bethesda come to mind) then the dollar bills start blinding people and before you know it they are just as greedy as the rest of the world.

A real shame.

Disagree entirely. Game developers are not the same as Corporate business men or woman.

Once they become big enough studios hire business management because it's not their expertise. It's all downhill from there.

Nah not all are like that. Look at Hellblade Senuas sacrifice developers. Cheap game. Made with love.
And after raking in cash, they then setup a charity (or donated to one already existing) for those suffering with schizophrenia giving quite a fair amount of profits away.

Now also consider Valve greed and the cut that they always take. Its a hefty loss for the developers, yet they continue anyway.
 
GOG just announced the Galaxy 2.0 beta, and they aim to unify games & some social/messaging aspects across multiple store fronts/launchers and apparently some consoles within the same application.

https://www.gogalaxy.com/en/

GOG GALAXY 2.0 is an application, thanks to which you’ll be able to combine multiple libraries into one and connect with your friends across all gaming platforms, consoles included. If your games and gaming buddies are scattered between different launchers and platforms, this is a solution for you! Keeping track of all achievements earned by you and your friends, hours played, and games owned across platforms has never been this easy. And the application is entirely free, all you need is a GOG account to use it.

Prior to the launch of 5G here in one weeks time, Chinese diplomats imply UK could lose significant Chinese investment(Tens of £billion's over recent years), which will be almost essential for a fair few industries and rural areas after losing EU funding, if Huawei technology is banned across the whole 5G network (Currently their technology is being used in the non-core areas like antennas for EEs network about to go live).

With Bethesda it's been exactly like that. For example if you watch the documentary about Fallout 3 (included with the special editions so the lunchbox etc) Todd Howard explains how during the dev there were like X amount of people in this room coding. There was a power cut, they all went to the local super market to buy stuff but the power was cut and they were in the dark. That is where the idea for Super Duper Mart came from. And it continues, as he gleefully explains loads of stuff about the game (including his now "ownership" of the franchise).

There were loads of things unfinished in Fallout 3. Lots of buildings had things that should have been quests but they simply ran out of time. However, there were lots of secret quests, weapons and armor etc if you put the time in to explore. I could spend two evenings literally in one building chasing a quest.

Now they have the money, let's fast forward to FO4. No documentary, no "look how proud we are" and so on. And that entire philosphy echoes right through the game. It has no soul. Why doesn't it have a soul? well a few reasons really but the main one, I reckon, is this. When they made Fallout 3 they were keen and they were hungry to be successful. So they tried, really damn hard. I mean, at the time FO3 was about as close to absolute perfection as it gets. It didn't quite get there, which is what all of the fans hoped FO4 would be. But it wasn't, because not only were they now fully owned by Zenimax but the whole landscape had changed. They knew, no matter how stinky, that the game would sell. And that arrogance has continued and now? I won't buy any of their games. So I hear RAGE 2 has good combat? so what. I am not buying games from them based on what they used to be.

And, if I were to echo what I said above verbatim although this time add Half Life instead of Fallout 3? you have the same thing with Valve. Half Life was about as close to perfection as it gets. HL2? I would say it's 99.99999999% there. Now? pah they don't need to bother doing that any more as they are making money hand over fist.
 
So the rumoured Zen 2 - 16 core 32 thread CPU is not yet ready @ 2:49, Apparently it does exist but it's being held back for now.


 
So AMD released the Radeon Pro driver with "support" for the Radeon 7 on May 21st, Odd that it never got mentioned anywhere.

The driver is certified for Autodesk, CAD, Adobe Premiere Pro, Maya etc...

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-pro-win-19-q1-2

I installed it and it looks exactly like the standard Adrenaline driver, Aside from certification for a few different software packages I can't see anything different, No extra options etc...
