Oh.
Welp, my opinion still stands, even if this isn’t the right context for it.
Hmmm, that does seem weird that they wouldnt be putting in DRM. I guess I’m on board with it. They do make super solid games. I hope this showcases what can be achieved by games that do t include DRM at their core.
Anti-cheat in single player games never made sense to me. Maybe if it includes microtransactions, then i guess i could see a use case, but like, if I want to cheat at your single player game, what use would there be in stopping me?
I don’t always need to see this at the end of the week…
…but I am super glad to see it when I need it.
Keep up the good work my guy.
I like the words, but I’m worried it sends the wrong message having a moose crossing railroad tracks? Like, a moose is super wholesome for this, but yo, that train is pretty stronk too, ya know?
I really like your way of explaining that.
It still feels dirty, but when is war and geopolitics ever actually clean? I feel a lot more heartened that this was the right choice after reading your response.
Cool.
Now do WWII.
I understand the sanctions part and wanting to head off any potential state interference with projects like this, but “infosec reasons” feels very hand wavy.
I think I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had seen malicious/bad faith actions/communications or maybe some more specific and tangible reasons to suspect them being compromised on the part of the Russian maintainers before they were just removed.
Probably in the same holiday season as Elder Scrolls VI
Yeah, I was reading a news article to this effect the other day.
Hell if I saved it and/or remember where I saw it, but shouldn’t be too hard to dredge up a news report to that effect.
Naw, I just kidnapped a bunch of people and left some dirty old blankets laying around /s
I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?
Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.
Eh, got lost looking for ground ginger. Started in the spice aisle, but they were out, so some directed me to the produce area (apparently didn’t realize I didn’t want whole ginger). After a bit more wandering, I turned some up in the Asian food section.
Unironically saw this meme while in line after having just done that.
Like, I don’t want to sound like a corporate shill, but Valve has been the most consumer friendly corporation I’ve ever seen. Even if they do meet the criteria for a monopoly, they are the model of what a company that finds itself as The Monopoly should be, in my opinion.
I have no intent to sign up for this “lawsuit”, even though I stand to gain some $500 from it. I hope Steam lives long and prospers.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this looks like a major _de-_enshitification step on the part of Steam.
I’m not missing something big, am I?
Like, you’re not wrong, but even if Steam hadn’t changed in the last 5-10 years, it would probably still be the best digital store front out there.
I have to second this one.
Most of the people I hang with tend towards 3rd party. All of them proudly touted their votes for the democratic candidate in this/the last election, but each was also very clear they were only voting that way as a way to vote against Trump.
They all hate Biden and Harris.
