ABCDE, do games w CD Projekt Red are splitting from GOG somehow?

Can they take your information and just put it into a new system legally?

TWeaK,

Yes, if one company buys a part of another the data can be legally migrated. The data will also become subject to new the T&C’s and privacy policy, although there must be an opt out before this happens (which they are providing here). This is more of a split I think, as far as I’m aware GOG are still owned by CDPR, it seems like they’re setting up a new division for CDPR games, and maybe GOG is just going to focus on old titles.

For myself, I don’t like this. I use unique emails for everything, and this spoils that setup. I don’t want my GOG email to be anywhere near CDPR, and vice versa. However it seems like my only options are migrate the email to the wrong service, or lose all my online data.

I’m not too bothered if they’re two separate services, beyond whatever that might mean for the continuation of the services. Eg, is GOG going to be worse than it is currently, or is CDPR looking to separate so they can be worse and more like a typical publisher.

Could you migrate the account then change the associated email? It’s not a perfect solution but it should be possible.

TWeaK,

Probably, I think I’m going to contacte them and get them to do that, while explicitly stating I object to my email being subject to the new terms and conditions.

JohnFoe,

It says you can create a new CDPR account at any time. Could you not do that and then migrate your GOG info over without the email address from GOG?

Just wondering if it had been attempted.

TWeaK,

Maybe that might be an option, like if I create a CDPR account now and tell them to transfer to that account rather than migrate and then change emails. I’ll give it a go.

Dagnet,

You can opt out

ABCDE,

Yes, but having to do that in a very limited time frame should not be the standard.

The home version of pong when I was 4 years old.

My friend’s dad owned a small local cable station so he had access and money to get all the latest crap.

I remember he also had a brand new beta max, and I was just this innocent 4 or 5 year old kid and I was asking why the time was flashing and the adults didn’t know. So I just walked up and programmed it. They praised me as being a literal genius and I was like you idiots It’s just a fucking clock.

Elite Dangerous. It’s so freeing to just hurl yourself out into the middle of nowhere and not come back.

TIMMAY,

I have never played this but I loved games like everspace and chorus, and a more sim-focused open-galaxy game seems sick. Is ED worth getting in to?

Strayce,

It’s the only MMO I still play regularly after three years. That said, I hesitate to outright recommend it. It’s fairly niche, and kinda still recovering from a disastrous DLC launch a couple years ago. It’s in a pretty good place now but confidence in the playerbase is still a little shaken. Mechanics-wise there’s a lot built up over the years that just aren’t explained at all in-game, so the learning curve is more of a sheer cliff face. OTOH, the community is honestly one of the most supportive I’ve ever experienced; even the griefers will chat with you after blowing you up and explain how to avoid it next time. And having the entire physically modelled milky way to explore is honestly an amazing experience. I’d suggest checking out a few streams to suss out if it’s for you, streamers are generally lovely and happy to chat with and help out new and prospective players.

TIMMAY,

Awesome, thank you!

TIMMAY,

Turns out its part of the playstation network game thingy so I can try it out for (kinda) free!

Strayce,

That’s one of the things that’s not explained, related to the DLC launch. There are a few different versions of the game. The console version is considered legacy and is functionally “disconnected” from the live version. It no longer receives updates outside of the occasional security or stability patch. Only PC is receiving new content. If you can get it for free it’s a good way to test out the general gameplay, but most of the community is on PC these days.

TIMMAY,

When I try to play games on my pc i get terrible screen tearing and then a hellgate opens and the doomslayer has to come quell the uprising of demons so I am unfortunately confined to the dystopian hellscape that is modern console gaming until I magically become not poor

There are few things more zen than sitting in your ship, thrusters off, in an undiscovered system on the other side of the galaxy. It’s humbling, isolating, and beautifully zen.

Wyll and Gale from BG3 were both suuuuuuper boring companions.

TIMMAY,

Yeah for real, its almost impressive to give them the storylines they had but make them just so boring compared to big K

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I thought they were both delightful, but neither's storyline had the emotional payoff that something like Shadowheart's or Karlach's had.

@HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee avatar

I had a bit of an inverse experience between the two. My gut reaction to Wyll was good, but his story made me dislike him, but Gale I disliked off the bat but came to appreciate after a bit of dialogue.

Wyll’s act 3 content feels so stupid, where he suddenly starts ego tripping and becomes less and less likeable. “The blade of avernus” my ass

Honestly I find Stardew Valley quite stressful, with it’s short daily time and so much to do.

I like anything turn based or pausable. FTL and Into the Breach are good. Slay the Spire is fun too. But I am kinda missing a chill game tbh

Slay the Spire is super chill and has a ton of replay value.

It varies wildly. Sometimes its Skyrim or Fallout 4, sometimes it’s some strategy game like Cities Skylines (2) or Factorio, or for a while now I’ve been playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 after I found out how awesome the gaming wheel support is on Linux. Latest Doom games have also been great for just venting out.

fkn, do games w CD Projekt Red are splitting from GOG somehow?

GDPR and pii reasons most likely. It’s a nightmare keeping track of why certain data is on certain accounts. This can vastly simplify the GDPR compliance mechanisms. If your GOG account is merged with your PR account, there is probably significantly more “sensitive” data (CC numbers, addresses, etc) in the GOG account. This probably exempts some data that either cdpr or gog tracks from deletion or retrieval requests.

TWeaK,

But it isn’t a merger, it’s a partial transfer. Your GOG account will still exist, but your CDPR games will be moved from GOG to CDPR.

Exactly what this means is unclear, the email and their online FAQ merely says “online features including Cross Progression and My Rewards as well as CDPR Forums” - it does not list everything that’s being migrated. It could be that GOG will only sell old games, while new games will be on a separate store, or it could be just that achievements and cross-platform scores will be on CDPR while GOG continues as normal. It could also end up being a gradual change with GOG falling to the wayside, and new games (1st and 3rd party) only being sold on CDPR.

Also, GDPR is hardly a reason. GOG is a CDPR subsidiary, and both are based in Poland, which is in the EU. They’re in the same jurisdiction. There’s no real issue with GDPR, even if the two services were sharing data - GDPR allows this for the purpose of providing a service.

I’ve sent a support ticket to them asking for more information.

fkn,

Separation of data between accounts makes them fall under different retrieval requirements.

As one account, a request for all of the data from that account contains both chunks. Separation of those accounts separates the need to accommodate requests for data from one on the other.

It can also mean that internally they may have a sufficient mechanism that data that was previously identifying to no longer being identifying (breaking userid to data pairings for example) which is sufficient to “anonymize” the data that it no longer needs to be reported or maintained.
