100%, I think people getting frustrated over the time between GTA 5 and GTA 6 don’t appreciate the time it takes to build a game on this scale. Rockstar definitely deserve credit for the worlds they build and their focus on delivering an exceptional game.

Sorry if I came across as nasty, my disdain is entirely with Rockstar and T2. After GTAIV, and the exceptional story and DLC we got many of us were excited to see what DLC was in store for GTAV. To have Rockstar to walk back the planned DLC in favour pushing shark cards and micro-transactions in GTA Online left many of us feeling pretty betrayed at the time.
Regarding the launch, GTAV originally came out on Xbox 360 and PS3 in September 2013, then on a new console generation in November 2014, and didn’t come to PC until April 2015. Many were doubtful that a company with the resources and talent available to Rockstar needed such a delay, and it stank of another tactic to maximise the number of people buying multiple copies.
Sensible business decisions definitely make the best games.
You mean aside from abandoning RDR Online, cancelling GTA V singleplayer DLC in favour of GTA Online shark cards, intentionally delaying the PC release of GTA V to maximise the number of people who would buy the game more than once because of FOMO, absolute dog shit support and punishing their community by crushing the modding community? I’m not sure.

It’s pretty clear from this shitshow they should be worried about lawyers who are using these tools.

I tried Vencord for a while, but my friends said that the quality of the stream on their end was consistently stuttering, an issue which isn’t happening for me in the official client, so the release of screen sharing on Discord stable after working so well on canary is a welcome update for me.
jonesy@aussie.zoneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Intel won’t kill off its graphics card businessEnglish6·4 months agoDo you have a link, I haven’t been able to find any articles specifically referencing battlemage bottlenecking on budget current-gen CPUs.
Edit: Nevermind, I found this: https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel/arc-b580-performance-issues
The article notes that this points to a driver issue, and given the driver improvements made by Intel on their previous Arc GPUs I would be surprised if this issue isn’t ironed out in future patches. It is a bit hyperbolic to say Battlemage is DOA based on driver issues alone,. especially so recently after launch. It also notes that games do run, but some games see 10-20% lower performance at the moment.
This issue is only from the last couple of days, until then the new streaming has been working great.
It was working great, but version 0.554 of discord canary has completely broken streaming for me as well, with discord completely crashing on trying to start a stream.
