The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve’s Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.
HDMI Forum has fewer than 80 members and membership fee is 15,000 USD/year. Valve could spin up 80 companies, have them join the forum for a low low price of 1.2M USD and outvote remaining members to open source the entire spec.
Does it have to be companies? Could individual people just have 15k, and join? We just need 81 new members.
This is hilariously plausible. Someone SCUBA down to Gabe and give him the idea.
rofl, I hate billionaires but this would be peak trolling
Hate the player, don’t hate the game
I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.
Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.
No players, no game
