That’s what I want as a gamer. I want a PC that works as a console. Whether I want that for other use cases or this
machine doesn’t matter. I’m happy to sandbox _everything else_, boot into a specific OS to game etc.
The thing about gaming is that it’s not acceptable to leave 5% performance on the table whereas for other uses it usually is.
- maccard 7mo agoQuestion for you - why don’t you buy a console? (I agree with you by the way, it’s why I have a ps5)
- alkonaut 7mo agoI never played using a controller and I never will. And I do want a high end PC for other use cases.,
- LtWorf 7mo agoThose use cases don't work with completely locked down OS. Also you can plug a mouse in a console… that's a weird excuse.
- alkonaut 7mo agoI don’t need to game in the same OS that I do other things. But having two sets of hardware seems like a waste.
- maccard 7mo ago_most_ games now do KBM on console and matchmake separately for it. It's still not perfect, but it's gotten much better. > And I do want a high end PC for other use cases., Right, you don't want two devices (that's fair). How can you _possibly_ trust the locked down device won't interfere with the other open software it's installed side by side with?
- Fizz43 7mo agoMid range hardware can run majority of games at high fps. You can easily leave performance on the table.
- zbentley 7mo ago> it’s not acceptable to leave 5% performance on the table whereas for other uses it usually is. I think that’s an incredibly rare stance not held by the vast majority of gamers, including competitive ones.
- alkonaut 7mo agoI don’t think a sandbox like a VM would work even if it could be done with only 5% perf hit? Wouldnt any game run in a VM be possible to introspect from the hypervisor in a way that is hard to see from inside the VM? And that’s why these anticheats disallow virtualization? That would mean those who are concerned about the integrity would want to sandbox everything else instead. And even if people are ok with giving up a small bit of perf when gaming, I’m sure they’re even more happy to give up perf when doing online banking.
- pooloo 7mo agoJust know that it will still get cracked and cheats will exist. I suspect this is Microsoft's next "console" as they have been developing "anti-cheat" for quite some time.
- 2postsperday 7mo agoMicrosoft will shoehorn their Anti-Cheat into the next Xbox project and force it down the throats of Windows 11/Windows 12 users. This will cause game developers to gobble this technology up. This is the only defense Microsoft has against the growing Linux Gaming crowd. Microsoft forgot how to make good, consumer friendly software.
