With a SAS card in IT mode it will show up in your OS as 4 different drives. You can mix and match them however you like. You aren’t restricted into pairs of 4. In fact one SAS cable can be multiplexed into many more than 4 drives.

You can often flash these raid cards into IT mode to disable raid and so that they just pass through the raw disks. That way you can hook up either SAS or SATA drives and run them with software raid of your choosing, like ZFS. SATA is probably the safer bet since you will be able to use them in a future build without issues, but there’s no issue with SAS.

If you can’t flash this raid card to IT mode you can buy a cheap LSI 92xx card. They are quite common and cheap, and easy to flash to IT mode.

But anti-cheat is mostly about false sense of security anyway.

…But then in turn they’ll earn money with Steam sales, so they’ll be earning money.

Wait. Didn’t Halo: The Master Chief Collection already have a remaster for Halo 1??

Ok, so preordering what promises to be a motorcycle but years later getting a bicycle instead that you happen to enjoy riding is also acceptable?

Probably a large part of the hate is because of the all exclusivity deals that they made at the time.

They made a mod called vintagecraft before.

So that’s why he worked at Blizzard for 7 years and keeps bringing it up.

but it doesn’t go out of date

That’s not necessarily true. There has been DLC for Train Simulator (now classic) that got delisted and at some point no longer worked due to updates to the game and not to the DLC making it incompatible. Then at some point a new version got added as DLC which you had to buy again to get a working train. (8448 Big Boy and 6446 Challenger come to mind)

I thought we switched to libre for that definition and since then used free only as in free beer.

They are somewhat isolated but not sandboxed.

We are currently in the process of transitioning.

Keeping with the theme I see ;)

Wait, you think June Strawberry Clementine isn’t their real name??

Why would they even add Denuvo to a 30 year old game anyway…

Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn’t become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.

I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don’t think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn’t like it that much.

Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980’s Battlezone. I’ve seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).

On a slightly different note, around the same time, Machines made by Acclaim got released which was an RTS where you could control any unit as an FPS. The name is quite unfortunate since Googling information about it is difficult. If you like Battlezone then then you might like this one as well.

Boomers: “We had hot days in the 60’s and 70’s as well and you didn’t hear us complain”

That’s funny. Imagine how confused they’ll be when/if they find out.
