Playing the world’s smallest violin in lieu of the admin listing of my least favorite lemmy instance. I probably didn’t have anything to do with it, but lying smearing dipshits have a way of garnering hostility towards themselves. Party time!

  • Borderlands 2 is temporarily free to grab on Steam, as it continues to be review bombed for non-Randy Pitchford tweet reasons

    Jump

  • You mean like you don't play Civilization because of having the same problematic 2K EULAs or watch YouTube because of its Terms of Service?

  • Artist Shocked To Find Her Poster Designs From 2017 In Bungie's Marathon: 'A Major Company Has Deemed It Easier To Pay A Designer To Imitate Or Steal My Work Than To Write Me An Email' [Update]

    Jump

  • Is this because they use art they find as filler and then forget to replace it, or is it because a graphic designer who was hired on salary just decided to explicitly take someone else's work as their paycheck? The first option seems the most likely, since I'm sure their own artists are quite capable.

  • Do you pre-order digital games? If so, why?

    Jump

  • Very rarely, usually out of interest for the bonuses or out of spite to a circlejerk that has formed against it. Have they been great games? No, but they have also not turned out to be bad games or something I did not expect, as I did my homework.

  • Can a Steam profile be a real memorial for a lost life?

    Jump

  • Not as long as a Steam account can't be part of an inheritance. At least not legally so. At best, it just becomes a historical note.

  • SpaceCraft is aiming for the gap between Starfield, Satisfactory and Eve Online

    Jump

  • You lost me at massively multiplayer. A single factory layout for one single player is enough to tax a system running Satisfactory. This will have to be dumbed down, people need to ignore the labels it's flashing out and wait until the gameplay loop is revealed.

  • 2024 was the year gamers really started pushing back on the erosion of game ownership

    Jump

  • ... By doubling down on Steam being a subscription service by actually telling you it was, or how Steam admitted it would basically not allow accounts to be passed through inheritance and there is only one service that says they will try, that being GOG? We literally have to fight to have libraries of old games when the generations before had no problem having libraries of their old entertainment to access, communally so even.

    The article really is disingenuous. All there is that is seriously doing this is a EU petition, one that will be dead on arrival because most of the affected games sell themselves as subscription services and because shit in the EU gets done when lobbyists usually aren't homogeneous across country lines, and for this they are. A slap warning or two, that's about all this will accomplish.

    If people moved their game collections over to GOG from Steam, and were clear that this was the reason they were doing it, that would accomplish a lot more. It's not going to happen, just look where governments are sliding towards, it isn't towards consumer rights and society as a whole.

  • Only 15% of all Steam users' time was spent playing games released in 2024

    Jump

  • I hope this article isn't because the industry might consider shifting to a complete subscription model, I really can't afford the rising cost of new games on release or overpriced subscription models.

  • Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

    Jump

  • Sounds like basically Torchlight I & II.

  • Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

    Jump

  • So are they basically going to wipe my mind so that I can rediscover the mouse click loot based ARPG genre again? It was a good genre, but it just so happens that improvements in performance and capability have made other genres more entertaining for me.

  • Palworld removes Pal Sphere summons amidst lawsuit over Nintendo patents

    Jump

  • This really isn't that bad, it's an opportunity to be creative as well. They can replace the balls with anything, say, talismans that they have to stick on the creatures. When summoning them back, they could be reading off of these talismans. It would ironically have more of a Japanese vibe than Pokemon. Other alternatives: for summoning, just replace the balls with curled up miniature versions of the creatures that just expand into size and the capture device can be an artifact that shrinks them and turns them into stone statues you can place in your base. It could go full on occult into summoning circles. They could make it customizable into anything the player chooses as a jab at Nintendo at how worthless their patent is.

  • Arkane's founder left because Bethesda 'did not want to do the kind of games that we wanted to make', and that's how it ended up with Redfall

    Jump

  • Honestly, give me a good singleplayer vampire game that has Netflix Castlevania-like depth.

  • Arkane's founder left because Bethesda 'did not want to do the kind of games that we wanted to make', and that's how it ended up with Redfall

    Jump

  • Why did they go multiplayer instead of story driven singleplayer? It almost kept me from Deathloop, too.

  • Skyrim lead designer says it will be 'almost impossible' for Elder Scrolls 6 to meet fan expectations: 'Marketing departments just put their heads in their hands and weep'

    Jump

  • The adoring fan and characters like claptrap are proof that I would never make it as lead designer for game sequels. I would never include a character like those and think to myself "This needs to be more than an annoying minor side character, I need to bring them closer to begin to the identity of the games."

  • Starfield - Official REV-8 Trailer | gamescom 2024

    Jump

  • If anything is bad about it, it's that it's the most Bethedaist game to date. They are going full steam ahead with the Creation Store, and after trying to charge slightly less than 10€ for the second quest to the Tracking Alliance, they are now charging more than 10€ for a standalone quest .

    I love the genre, but I've just had to stop playing it today because of the extreme whaling monetization. I refuse to be part of a franchise where the whales are going to set its course. They've tried to do this with Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but never this early on, and paying so much for a single quest sets a terrible precedent that's far worse than simple cosmetic horse armor. I can ignore everything else in the Creation Store, but not getting left out of the story and lore of the game because I'm not a whale

    They've reduced the price by half, but it still seems too high for me, even if it is 5€ - for six of these you could get a full game.

  • Take-Two CEO Believes PC Is a “Big Growth Market” and Current Gen Platforms Will Continue to Perform

    Jump

  • Could be, people want the choice of a platform instead of cheap devices with overpriced games that cost more in the long-term.

  • Flight Simulator 2024's huge ambition means 'you can now exit the plane, walk around… you can land on every ship, and it looks like a first person shooter environment'

    Jump

  • I better be able to set the airplane in autopilot and then go out and watch an inflight movie. Unfortunately, walking around inside the plane doesn't seem possible.

    Then again, if I couldn't walk around the plane while it's flying upside down or while part of its hull has been ripped off the plane, I would be disappointed. Preferably with NPC coworkers and attendants screaming at you.

  • Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation”

    Jump

  • Too many capitalist milkshakes, and Turkey has the added incentive of wanting to keep its culture closed off from the rest of the "West".

  • Will PC makers replace your crashing Intel chip? We asked 14 of them

    Jump

  • Just poor enough not to be affected, had to stick to the 12th generation.

  • Windows on Arm is not ready for the complexities of the PC gaming landscape

    Jump

  • CPUs? No. GPUs running on ARM architecture? Yes.
