The performance hit of features vary, but it's not nothing. You can still get big performance boosts by fine tuning settings in some games esp considering specific HW limitations. I think it would be a huge mistake to take away this fine tuning ability for the sake of simplicity. That has been...

Upgrading the engine under an existing project is always a hassle. Unless you did literally zero customization or haven't added any of your own code, in which case I question how good is your game if it just uses everything as is OOB.

Fewer options is never a good thing. That's why we have graphics presets for those who don't want to bother. But giving the most options for fine tuning should always be the goal.

In five to ten years. Wait, what?

How is axing ui customization and the other things I listed protection from lawsuits? Did they ever say that? I would not think them that brazen. This entire narrative smells of white knightery.

I don't believe that's true. What if any of these things that I find most annoying in W10/11 are court mandated? The constant push to upgrade to windows 11 The pressure to use cortana then copilot ai Removal of most UI customization options Fragmentation / hiding of options from users that...

Bitlocker with TPM does not protect you from hacking, the only thing it does is protect the data when it is physically stolen. Secure boot offers protection from rootkits theoretically. But for a regular home user I think they are more likely to cause data loss, than protect anyone. It's...

Isn't it also microsoft who is pushing bitlocker tpm and secure boot and such things whether you want them or not?

That's a good thing, maybe they work out the DEI from their system by the time they start actively working on them. So we don't get censorship of "problematic themes", or make Mona Sax into a trans lesbian with a man jaw.

Unless they are unattractive enough by progressive standards.

Congratulations on hitting every single dumb talking point that ever came out of the mouth of an activist. "It's not happening, but it is totally to prevent you from spanking" I have to ask, do you often spank it to video game characters? Why is it always the activists and their supporters who...

They have been doing that for 10 years now at western game devs. I'm sick of it, but especially the gaslighting about it claiming it is not intentional "you just don't understand how game development works"

I'm pretty sure it will have microtransactions that early access reviewers won't be allowed to talk about under NDA.

And this way they won't get our money.
