Here the doc for the record: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Set_module_parameters_in_kernel_command_line

Note, they forgot to add to also blacklist the radeon module.

A friend of mine has a old Radeon HD 7850 that was not working with Vulkan out of the box. Since he didn't want to tinker with it, he gave it to me and I will have a look. I've read you can force the new Vulkan Driver on it with some kernel flags.

I have read your link but they didn't say the EGS is at loss specifically because of the 12% cut nor that the Fortnite money is subsidizing the lower cut.

It could be that the EGS is at loss because creating a new store and client from scratch costs money ?

To be honest here, we don't have the numbers to say exactly how much margin Valve is making. But my guess is the following: if EGS estimated that with a 12% cut they could be profitable if they had enough customers, it makes me think that the cut of valve is way overinflated in regards to their costs.

And yes Fortnite is awfully predatory. But the topic is Valve and Steam there 🙂

Maybe, maybe not.

Frankly I don't even know if this clause can be enforced in Europa. I wanted to point out that we shouldn't rely on the customer protection laws of each country to address that: this clause shouldn't exist in the first place.

But to be frank, it most likely doesn't come from Valve and rather from the games company themselves.

Yes you can workaround it. But this is still a society right they forbid you. And who can say that in 2100 they won't implement a cleanup job that lock all accounts that are over 100 years old ? 🤪

Well I am European 😂

But this is a problem right ?

Because the libertarian view of the world DOES have an impact on Steam: they have so much inertia to fight against hate speech and extreme right, they do nothing against gambling, and so on. All under the pretense "free speech" which is so convenient.

IMO this is the view of the modern libertarian: all the money, none of the accountability.

I have a mixed feeling about Gabe and Valve.

While I am insanely grateful for proton (even if it was strategically important for them, they didn't do it out of kindness of heart), some other stuff disturb me:

• Valve being so lenient on CS2 skin gambling, hurting the young people
• A steam account being un-inheritable, making you defacto a tenant of your games
• The 30% percent cut, stealing money from devs
• Gabe spending his money on multiple mega yachts, like every asshole billionaire, instead of making the world a better place
• Gabe claiming to be a libertarian, like Elon and other pieces of shit

Plus Ludusavi afterwards to backup the saves !

This is great!

The one I bought, pistachio flavoured 🤤
