Religion and fiat are always at the top

1.indeed you do. Still it is advised to think before speaking. 2.I said nothing about “micro”. It sounds like you have great expertise in this area and clearly know how it all works so kudos you won 🥳

You won’t be able to do none of that, cause none of it is yours. If anything, I feel like I’m overestimating you just by having this discussion. Not clear to me why you feel so entitled to the products of others. You are a gamer, it is barly a hobby.

I agree with most of what you said,.

On the other hand -

1. If you don’t like their approach, stop buying their games.
2. Servers today are much more complex than what they were 25 years ago, and making them in such a way to any idiot could run on their laptop requires substantial effort. I can see how it might not be financially feasible for every company to do. Relaaing the server software will introduce a whole new category of issues that the company will need to face. Shipping a stack of 20 independent services that are orchestrated together is not a single binary, and is not meant to run on any platform.

This is a public forum, and you are acting like spoiled children. I’ll comment as I please.

Take all that superior knowledge you have about infrastructure and engineering and build your own games that conforms to your world view instead of gaming all day while complaining and consuming colorful energy drinks.

If it was important to you as you claim, you wouldn’t have supported the game publishers from the get go, but you do. It is just easier and funner to shit post instead of doing anything productive, right?

Have fun in your little echo chamber of pathetic nonsense, no one will take you seriously.

Yeah exactly but I don’t think anyone here is capable of comprehending that.

Its like the 6th on the lost or something. Clearly a lot of thought.

Running the infrastructure today is not the same as it was back when unreal was first released, for many many reasons.

I clicked, and saw an incoherent wall of text. It is not that important for me to understand what you’re whining about, and you fail to deliver your point in a manner which will result in any sympathy.

You are treating silliy video games as if it’s a matter of life and death. Why would anybody take you seriously? You make ot so easy for them to milk you for money. I suggest grow up.

Knowing basic arithmetic does not mean you know Math, and the fact you so hung up about this trivial aspect says a lot about you. Additionally, you express yourself like a boomer.

Am not a gamer, and am not informed about your little battle. So i asked a quesion, not made an argument. From the responses to my questions it is obvious how spoiled and toxic your community is. Good luck 🩷

What are you suggesting? That on once a game goes online it’ll require the company by law to keep it running forever? How many companies would still release games that requires backend if they knew it’s a never ending endeavour even if they’ll lose money from it?

Running the infrastructure to host the game’s baceknd requires money, and releasing the server code as binary or open source is not something that’ll happen.

So what is the end goal?

I wanted to ask why don’t they let you pick your own tools and mid sentence I realized it must be because you won’t be able to share work with colleagues due to compatibility issues with files.

Which means it’s bigger than the company you work for, but the same for anyone you might want to collaborate with.

There must be some open file standard for creative stuff.

Am I correct assuming that?

Have you tried running it with Wine? No idea if it’ll work, just curious.

Blame tech companies, not users

I very much agree with your conclusions and general approach.

LLMs are great for certain tasks that are programming related and it does it very well. I, too, often find myself needing scripts that as long as they did what they were suppose to, I really didn’t care how.

Another thing I’ve noticed(which is probably related to amounts of training data) is that it can help better with simple Python tasks as opposed to how it handles simple rust tasks.

But you mentioned one of my main issues with. Ice been programming for 15 years or so, and still learning. All the available llms did crucial errors about fundamental tabd complex topics and got the answer so very wrong but also sounding very convincing. Couple it with lack of proper linking to the sources of the response, you might see why having it explain code might cause your learn wrongly. Although it is also possible to say this about randoms internet tutorials. I always try to remind myself that it’s a tool that produces output that always needs to be verified.

I only found it useful doing trivial chores such as converting between data structures, maybe create a test for a function, parsing and some regex. Anything deeper than that was full of errors or the it offered was suboptimal at best. It also fails a lot of times in fetching the relevant docs/sources for the discussion. I gave up trying after so many times it basically told me " go search for yourself"

The real question in my opinion is how does a pro truly benefit from it other than being a different type of a search engine

Or they could have just put another layer between the prompt and gpt that does simple filtering. The output seems to be the same every time no?

I’m amazed at what they decide to waste their time on just because fuck you
