While it has Denuvo it can get fucked, they’ll remove it in a few years, I’m a very patient gamer with a family group that has 1.5k games in library.

CaptPretentious,

Same, I’m happy to wait for Denuvo to be removed, for the game patches to come out, and Nvidia to fucking fix their god damn drivers. Plus side, I’ll pay a reasonable price for the game when I buy it.

That probably explains all of the crashes reported by windows users too. ID Software what happened? You were supposed to be the chosen one.

Turturtley,

Owned by zenimax, owned by microsoft. Same owners of activision blizzard. Shafted Mick Gordon. So this is kinda 100% as expected.

endeavor,

You must really fucking hate composers or not play games if you think ID is a contender for the best game studio.

I’m more and more convinced that Doom 2016 was the peak. Eternal had that one song that kicked ass but that was mostly it.

Kichae,

Doom 2 was the peak. 2016 was a strong reimagining of Doom 3, but it was already trying to be something Doom wasn’t.

I disagree. Doom 3 was trying to be constant darkness and horror. Never forget the lack of duct tape. Doom 2016 was a strong sequel to 2 with its wide open spaces and fast-paced action.

I don’t want to feel like I’m being hunted by scary monsters. I want to be the monster.

I never buy/install games with Denuvo. Guess it will be a while before I’m playing this.

Thanks to this news, there will be a version without Denuvo quite quickly. 🏴‍☠️

Only pay money for open source because you can actually own it

Hopefully GGG will make premium version of the original POE that allows offline play, LAN/P2P or even self hosting.

Would be nice for game preservation when the original runs out of steam.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Sure would, but I’m going to set my hopes very low for that one. The best way to make this happen would be to only buy and play their competitors that are more future proofed.

Vipsu,
@Vipsu@lemmy.world avatar

Personally I’ve only ever played POE solo and I think the game holds very well against many premium ARPG titles. When the game reaches its EOL as live service it would be very wastefull for GGG to just drop the game instead of turning it in to a paid standalone title that people can buy and play for as long as they want.

PushButton,

The game is balanced to be played with trading… Oh excuse me, they said: “we don’t balance the game for FFS” instead, but you get the point.

It’s surely possible, like beating elder ring with a saxophone… Buuuttt, it totally sucks.

ghostsinthephotograph,

I finally ditched the early access to play Elden Ring for the first time haha. Realized around the Act III ending that it may not be for me due to the reliance on trading. Feels like I can’t earn my gear or get excited from the drops. To each their own, though.

Solo Self-Found (SSF) is a thing in Path of exile and usually creating a standalone version like this requires some modifications to the game anyways for it to even run. For example developers behind Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor patched their game so that it can be played offline and even allows players to access old seasonal content (allows picking season when creating new character).

It was social engineering.

They compromised a Steam account via steam support to test its password and because it a linked they gained access and modified about 60 accounts.

It’d be worse if the crypto bros got their way and all that shit was stored on a blockchain where it’s 1000x harder to undo

PushButton,

In the case of GGG, it’s the same picture… They do Jack shit in those circumstances…

Bug, exploit, hack, dup… Fuck all buddy. PoE is a game of chance, a slot machine in disguise…

So… Better luck next time I guess.
