  Meta’s push towards virtual and augmented reality has clearly been a massive failure from the billions they invested into the “metaverse” only to come up with a shitty VRChat clone that lasted mere months. Meanwhile the only reason they’re really in the news lately is because they stole Google’s failed smart glasses concept, paired up with Ray-Ban and made the ultimate tool for creeps to record and harass women without their consent.

  Valve are wise to poach their talent who have undoubtedly been throigh wave after wave of mass layoffs. The only other more significant hire they could have made was somehow bringing the fourth-dimensional being housed in a meatsuit known as John Carmack on board. But he’s busy with AGI.

  Every handheld outside of the Steam Deck, like the ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw all use Windows, which can make the experience crippling for non-technically minded users.

  Clearly this games journalist has never used Linux because despite the monumental efforts Valve have made to make thousands of games run on SteamOS and improve the UX through Proton, it is still an inferior experience to Windows for anybody that isn’t incredibly tech savvy and the kind of person that lives and breathes command lines.

  But then again, what did I expect from an industry where people are genuinely paid to talk out of their butts about games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand what market the PlayStation Portal was designed for.

  You’re basically paying £200 for a DualSense controller MacGyver’d on a tablet screen that can only remote play PS5 games or stream from PSNow. There are both cheaper and better options which support not just Sony’s ecosystem but also other gaming platforms.

  Sounds like a server full of master baiters.
