  How backwards combatable will the PS5 and Xbox Series X be?

  Is it just select games? The pervious generation? Or will they be able to play games from any generation?

  All i want to do is turn on my tv and play video games with a controler (no console) Is this possible?

  Favorite Answer:

  Well. the difference between a game and a movie is that the movie is just a rote streaming file, and a game is actually a computer program. So a game requires branching instructions to be evaluated and executed, which is what a computer's core CPU does, and GPU to interpret the graphic coded instructions into a video source. Smart TV's obviously contain lots of graphic processing ability, connecivity solutions, so on,but not much code execution CPU Based logic ability. if there was a sufficient computer built into the tv, then yes, you could load in a game program from any storage source, like a disc, or a thumb drive and the built in computer could run the program, if the computer's operating system code was compatible. Small computer CPU's and single board computers are becoming cheaper and game consoles that have a TV screen built in have passed through the marketplace from time to time. They were unpopular because of the cost, and the fact that most people already have a front room TV, and felt no need to buy another just because it had a gameboy built into it. Not sure about remote controllers. Wireless mice are available, possibly aftermarket game controllers, you would have to look. I doubt, even were it made available  that people would want to pay the price for a whole computer on board the game  thumbdrive everytime they bought a  game cartridge though. A program, like a game, requires the computer to run and interpret it, which is what a console really is, a computer.

  will steam shut down one day or in the near future? i heard i do not really "own" my games but just the liscence to them?

  Favorite Answer:

  No.

  If the company that owned the name ever got in to financial difficulties, I'd expect one of the international retailers to buy it out to keep things running.

  Steam is essential for many smaller game makers to sell games.

  It makes a small profit on every game bought through it, so has no reason to stop doing that.

  Also, if the Steam service shut down so peoples games could no longer start, it would cost the industry in general billions in compensation - 

  eg. here in the UK, consumer laws require things to be "fit for purpose" for six years from purchase.

  That means people could demand refunds from the sellers for all games bought within the last six years. In other parts of Europe it may be as low as two years [that's the legal minimum for any EU warranty], but it's still a vast amount of money.

  It would be cheaper for big games sellers to keep the service running, than allow it to stop!

  I spilled some beverage on cables and plugs? Is it a danger?

  Favorite Answer:

  There is no "danger" at all, even if the cables and connectors are fully wet.

  The voltages and currents involved in data transfer are quite low

  and cannot develop perceivable heat.

  The main problem is the damage done to copper by phosphoric acid.

  It is nearly instantaneous and it is absolutely irreversible.

  Any cable that does not work after that spill should be replaced.

  I'm trying to find a name for this thing that Google cant understand.?

  It's a green flat board looking thing that goes into devices like remotes, game controllers, computers, etc to make them work. And after that Im trying to find out how to find if there is any damage done to them physically. Whether it be water damage or something cut. I'm trying to look into a Joy-con and I may just get a replacement part if its just the part that's the problem but if its just green part thing being broken I may just buy a whole new joy-con. Help? [Pic incase I'm not specific enough.

  Is Nintendo Switch better than Xbox One?

  Favorite Answer:

  It depends on what criteria you are using for "better".

  In my opinion, yes. Of course, this is 100% biased as I've never played an XBox One.

  So would you trust my opinion? Probably not.

  This is why you do your own research and don't just go by consensus vote by rando's on the Internet.
