Valve is looking at your browsing history right now, if a recent report is to be believed. It seems that the company's Valve Anti Cheat system (VAC) reportedly looks at all the domains you have visited, and if it finds that you've frequented hack sites, who knows what actions it will take.
Valve's Gabe Newell believes that a brain interface for computers will make even more immersive games possible in the future that could surpass reality. He also thinks that this could be implemented very soon.
I would buy a machine that is set up to how Kirito and Asuna play games in Sword Art Online
The world of Sword Art is something I don't think any developer right now will ever bother attempting to create. I've seen .Hack too and the games both those anime show is something I wish someone would make. A real life simulation presented in a medieval fantasy-esque aesthetic would make me quit real life in a heart beat lol
Maybe and maybe the flying car bug was really just a prediction of flying car software failure.
That sounds cool but imagine the social consequences some people would get really attached to that alternate reality.
Automate farming systems abd have computers feed us through tubes and live theblife you want.... lol wait what if the Matrix Is real? :?o :p
I really dont give a flying monkey doodoo about all this futurism bs. Its really just sad, old timers on their way out desperately trying to stay relevant when they should have been making good games for the last 20 years.
The leak could allow hackers to gain access to your computer.
Earlier this month Non-Fiction got to play around with the HTC Vive and dive deep into the world of VR gaming. There were some interesting lessons learned about VR.
I'll post an indignant outraged response after I finish this competitive round of CSGO.
So far there seems to be nothing conclusive, only that it grabs DNS info, hashes it and that's about it. No one has been able to determine whether any data actually gets sent to Valve, and most seem to be assuming that if it's really used, it is used to check a list LOCALLY. No data mining, no NSA, etc.
The only thing to be seriously concerned about at this point is that you might get banned for visiting blacklisted sites, and it's most likely got safe guards for false-positives.
So, after reading through the posted Reddit thread, I think I'm going to wait and see how it all goes before grabbing a torch and pitchfork.
lol VALVE is now acting like an NSA??.. Crazy!, they obviously invading their subscriber's internet privacy!..
It will be game related it doesn't make sense to get marketing info from the anti cheat program when you have a perfectly good store front to do that when people are not playing. I am sure they wouldn't want to slow down the games, the gamers would be in an uproar
People only mad cus the £150 plus the nerds have paid for there x22 at the x22 shop and forum support will be blocked :D. gawd people are so obvious at times.
