I have a feeling you’re right about this. I do wish Microsoft would take the Apple approach as Apple steamed ahead with deprecating kernel-mode access.

Love them or hate them, Apple take security a lot more seriously than Microsoft these days and it’s a real shame MS see security architecture as a nuisance rather than a core responsibility of their business.

Nope. They’re developing an alternative set of APIs for userspace in conjunction with security vendors for their products to use but it’s all still a long way off and will be optional to start with.

Given the volume of mission-critical devices security products are installed on (which the CrowdStrike fuckup highlighted), getting them out of kernel space would be a huge risk reduction for the world. And security vendors would love to get away from that risk as pulling a CrowdStrike costs a lot of money setting things right with customers.

But an anticheat used by consumers on their personal devices for a game, not such a big deal.

While I’m sure MS will eventually deprecate and then kill off third party kernel drivers, it could take a decade since MS has so much business (both internal and within their customer base) that relies on legacy crap.

Sorry, it has to be you. You are the chosen one.

You just track the MIT repo and automate the patching and releasing under a different license each time the MIT repo updates.

If the Rust version is released under MIT, simply fork it, rename it, and release under (A)GPL and ensure the community only uses that version. Sorted.

Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite were by Irrational Games (2K Boston). Bioshock 2 was by 2K Marin.

Ken Levine shut down the studio after Infinite as they disliked the stress and scale of development - missing the days of small development teams.

That was back in 2014. Levine’s studio he set up immediately after the closure has yet to release a game but supposedly their first project, Judas, is not too far from completion (it was meant to be out this year in March but, so far, there’s no news).

Ah yes, natively in a virtual machine.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

Also what’s the game in the screenshot?

I’ve been on the Profiling branch for a couple of years and these changes are awesome. Tanoa was unplayable for me until I switched.

Kudos for Bohemia’s continued support for A3 while we wait for A4 (Reforger has also been a fantastic glimpse of the future of their engine).
