Because enough people will then buy the game twice that it's worth the very slight reputation loss for them.

I was surprised to see the article doesn't include a screenshot of the feature in action.

I didn't see any mention of the Microsoft Store on their website?

Nintendo Switch - on the Nintendo eShop Epic Games Store - for Win / Mac WorldOfGoo2.com - right here, for Win / Mac / Linux, DRM-free

Or are you saying it should also be available on the Microsoft Store? That wouldn't help my mentioned use case (easy install on Steam Deck and cloud sync between Deck and desktop PC).

EDIT: Also, none of my computers run Windows anymore, so yeah, I couldn't care less about the Microsoft Store.

We'll see whether he's replaced right after Mexico.

Not a fan of that Epic Games Store (semi) exclusivity deal.

Offering a DRM-free version in addition to the Epic Store one is nice and all, but having it on Steam (on which games don't have to use any DRM either should the studio choose not to) would be much easier especially because of cloud saves and the Steam Deck.

It's a skip for me (for now). Still an enjoyable game I'd guess if you don't care about Steam.

ASUS leadership was like "yeah do it fast, else this Steve guy from Gamers Nexus will start beating us up again."

Sad to see an otherwise reputable and often recommended company like Puget only do 3 years tops though.

We have yet to see what other AI 300 SKUs support when they release then I guess, and I usually take whatever LTT says with a big grain of salt. That being said, Linus might have some insider information because of his Framework investment. Framework will very likely know by now what their next mainboard supports in terms of memory.

It's a weird timeline. CAMM2 modules are basically right around the corner, and Intel's Core Ultra 2 only supports on-chip memory, and now AI 300 seemingly only supports soldered memory? This is all a bit weird to me.

I'd be fine transitioning to CAMM2 modules and making SODIMM obsolete, but a Framework mainboard with soldered on memory wouldn't sit right with me.

DDR5 is supported up to 5600 MT/s (that's as high as JEDEC spec currently goes for DDR5 SODIMMs afaik) while I've seen Ryzen AI notebooks using LPDDR5X with 7500 MT/s. Latency should also be lower on LPDDR5X as it can be physically closer to the CPU.

There are some performance comparisons on older Ryzen CPUs/APUs showing that the iGPU benefits a lot from faster LPDDR compared to DDR.

It's definitely supported (although many manufacturers will use LPDDR5 for faster speeds at the cost of upgradability/repairability), see https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/300-series/amd-ryzen-ai-9-365.html
