Except for the minorities who voted for this guy.

I use a Xbox controller and works perfectly with Linux.

Sounds like a decent defamation case.

It’s a entire party feature set!

Ah, technically correct. The best kind of correct.

For some, that’s good enough for them.

They enjoyed the game and they can play it with each other and have some fun together as life keeps punching all of us in the face and having the game playable when the company stops supporting it is always a great thing.

Your condescension aside, the fact that his framework worked for several games before this and their publishers/developers were fine with paid mod and if he releases the paid mod to work with BG3 and Larian would be okay with it, none of that is relevant here. So what if his software worked with other games? This particular game says you can’t have paid mods and CDProject was well within their right, and rightly so if you ask me, to make him get rid of it.

As for taking down whole business, once he scrubs his stuff of the CP 2077, he’ll be right back at it again his business is not sunk.

Now as for you argument that this was unnecessarily heavy handed and they should have asked nicely instead? Maybe, but we don’t know what either party said to each other outside of what both sides have publicly release and honestly Luke here sounds like a very unprofessional prima donna with the flare for the ultra dramatic and the only thing that seems to be solid is that they CDProject did ask that for that part of his mod, make it free and use donations instead which I still think is fair, you can release a singular package for the game with donations and have called it good while pay walling the rest who’s developers were fine with a paid mod on their game.

End of they day, even if they were heavy handed, they were well within their rights to take the mod down until their game is not part of their code base and it’s not that slippery slope argument you say it is and we just disagree on paid mods and methods used to remove them.

I think you’re missing some nuance here.

3DSen is based on reverse engineering and not IP since it’s not selling the ROMs that come with it. All completely legal to sell and don’t mind buying to support this guy’s reverse engineering and transformation effort. If it was just some stock NES emulator that he was selling, eh, I’d probably just say legal but bullshit.

Lossless Scaling is a tool/actual framework that uses released/open source API calls to apply frame gen to any game, as far as I know and that’s not violating any terms or conditions or IP either.

With this, while I can appreciate that he’s done this for other game, the terms and conditions for them is “don’t use our tools to sell mods”. Do I agree with it? Actually yes, for the most part. I’m of the firm belief that the modding community should be open, I think that these are things that should be done for passion, I like having donations set up, and that we’re lucky that we live in an age that many game companies are kind enough to release modding tools without demanding a license fee. Plus he’s not selling a framework here, he’s selling his framework built with a company’s tools that says “No paid mods because we think the modding community should be open”.

I think that IP is often tricky and I think that this is fine and not a slippery slope argument.

I’d like to briefly address the discussion around the “Cyberpunk VR” mod created by Luke Ross. We have indeed issued a DMCA strike, as it was available as a paid mod (only accessible to Patreon subscribers). This directly violates our Fan Content Guidelines: we never allow monetization of our IP without our direct permission and/or an agreement in place. We were in touch with Luke last week and informed him that he needs to make it free for everyone (with optional donations) or remove it. We are big fans of mods to our games — some of the work out there has been nothing short of amazing, including Luke’s mod for Cyberpunk 2077. We’d be happy to see it return as a free release. However, making a profit from our IP, in any form, always requires permission from

@CDPROJEKTRED

So they offered this guy to make it free with donations, which is reasonable in my opinion, and he said no.

Given that, I’m okay with this DCMA.

There nothing available to the rest of the world because AI companies have bought the supply and they’re not going to not buy it just because of the tariffs.

Now onto the cheering of lowering prices.

I honestly think it wont, especially in the long run.

If they move production onto US soil with the threat of tariffis and not with incentives like the CHIPS act, the prices will go up greatly, not just for the US but for everyone.

Take a look at TSMC and their current investments in the US. This investment is going to alter the global supply chain with these plants expected to provide around 30% of the global supply. And even now with the first plant, the company announced that the ROI is of course less than because it costs more to build here from materials, regulations, and staffing, which they’ve been moaning that they have a lack of qualified people in Arizona, go figure.

TSMC has already announced that they plan to raise prices by 10% in the 2026 year and expanding in the US so do you think that this raising in prices is just due to AI or do you think they’re also making up for US production costs too? I tend to think it’s a reaction to both since they did officially say it was a price raise to “expansion costs”, that’s with the billions in incentives, and what do you think will happen if the a company like SK Hynix, which is planning on expanding fabs, move it to the US for all global supply, will do to prices of RAM?

My two cents.

As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.

Reminder that now is a great time to switch to Linux desktop.

Yup. I expect nothing less from a silver spoon moron that daddy bribed officials for his “prestigious” BS in economics.

My fight or flight response is geared heavily toward stand-still-and-hope-their-vision-is-based-on-movement, so unless I’m fighting a t-rex I’m hosed.

I’m not pretending I’m all powerful. I’m stating compliance is nonsensical.

Oh for fucks sake there Internet Bravado, you might not have understood what my point was damn you sure as hell proved it.

Don’t go around telling others to fight and die when you aren’t willing to do so yourself.

Blah, blah, blah.

Just like last time, no one did anything and this time will be no different.

The blind allegiance to power is too strong.

Yeah, if President Pedo and his DUI hire says to murder American civilians most of them will follow that order because that’s what they’ve been trained to do with more than a handful gleefully carrying it out because they’re also MAGA.

And these are your typical Republicans in the 2000’s AMD are accurately representative of the Republican party.

I honestly wonder if it’s too late to stop the Nazi party from being a major party of America now without a lot of violence.

And I’m sure we’ll be seeing you on the front lines actively fighting against ICE…

Unless you’re part of the Black Panthers, I find these Internet tough guy comments laughable and even I who have went to the No Kings protests carrying, I’m not going to be fighting multiple ICE agents if they ask for papers please on my minority ass.

Notwithstanding but that’s been the Republican plan details since the inception of the ACA.

GPU drivers, at least on AMD’s side, have been solid and Nvidia has been generally decent and getting a lot better with the new process they’re doing for the newer cards. But my scenario might be more unique to the MB implementation of the wifi chipset since when I posted on other boards, others with different MB’s/cards using the same driver aren’t seeing the same issues.

And of course the other downside is that the wifi 7 driver for that chip is not available for windows 10 and is windows 11 only and I do not want to use that as my daily even if the driver is solid and honestly I’m not a huge perpetual online gamer so it’s not impacting my ability to use and enjoy my Bazzite instance.

Oh for fucks sake, so much neckbeard energy here dismissing this guys personal experience.

When you’re a new user and don’t know what the hell the native app store application is, which doesn’t have all the programs a person would want to use and install there, and when a new user goes to find their old windows apps that have Linux install instructions, what’s the first thing that they have there? Guess. It’s always find your flavor of Linux and the first steps shown are always terminal commands with sudo apt get or sudo dnf.

That’s everyone first time with Linux until they learn more about it so get off your high horse and condescending gatekeeping attitude.
