Anything else is too much pain.

Facebones,

Well fuck I should just put it on my switch. Oh well I got $20 off on QVC and I like Prince of Persia so I don’t mind pumping sales figures for it.

Idk when it’ll get here though so maybe I still will 😂

So, Steam exclusivity is fine, but other stores exclusivity isn’t?

Brokkr,

I’m not taking a side in the debate of Steam vs others but has Steam ever negotiated an exclusivity deal of a 3rd party game?

technomad,

Wrong. I never said I wanted it to be exclusive on Steam, I just want it to be available on there as well.

Why is Steam pretty much the only one it’s not available on? The fact that it’s on so many other platforms just makes this exclusion even more illogical.

FlorianSimon,

I think it’s a money thing. Releasing a game on steam costs developers money.

technomad,

It’s definitely a money thing, but I don’t think it’s in the way that you are suggesting. I think it’s a matter of them making more money (somehow) by excluding Steam. That’s pretty much the only platform it’s not available on.

Marsupial,
@Marsupial@quokk.au avatar

Ubisoft are a poor struggling indie company after all.

Not at all to do with Epic paying devs for exclusives.

Oh and btw both Epic and Steam charge $100 to publish on their store, so it’s not that.

FlorianSimon, (edited )

Keep that snark to yourself. No need to be an asshole.

If you’re going to be so aggressive, at least try to be correct. Ubi not being indie doesn’t mean they’re willing to pay the 30% fee Steam asks gamedevs on sales, which amounts to a lot of money at the end or the day at that scale. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of copies sold.

That, and POP is not an Epic exclusive. It’s on Ubisoft’s own launcher.

Marsupial,
@Marsupial@quokk.au avatar

Grow the fuck up you child. A bit of sarcasm and you’re crying about “aggressive”?

FlorianSimon,

Reported. Someone needs to go out and touch grass.

Marsupial,
@Marsupial@quokk.au avatar

Yes you do.

It’s pathetic that a grown adult cannot handle sarcasm thats not even directed at them without crying and playing a victim.

Pantsofmagic,

There is absolutely no reason to be such a giant jerk in this thread.

Marsupial,

They started it. All I did was make fun of rich companies “struggling” for money.

@cottonmon@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely greed, Ubisoft did the same thing in 2019 because they didn’t want to pay Steams 30% cut.

shani66,

Gog exclusivity would be cool, epic not so much.

MxM111,

Did he say it should be STEAM exclusive?

@Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world avatar

I think a million times people discussed this and ubi and epic store clients are far inferior compared to steam. People have all the rights to not want their game collection spread across half a dozen platforms.

I personally don’t buy anything Ubisoft mainly because their launcher is pure garbage and I hate it with passion.

Steam made me stop pirating games, Epic and Ubi made me overcome my FOMO and be a patient gamer.

ExtraMedicated, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game since Farcry 3 when a friend invited me to join an online game (which is something I very rarely had the opportunity to do) but the game wouldn’t let me play because I didn’t have that subcription thing they had. I tried using the free signup code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So yeah, I have a personal grudge against that shitty company.

Also, I hate what they did to the Rainbow Six franchise. The original games (by Red Storm, I think?) are what those games should’ve been.

Prunebutt, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

Maybe it runs on a switch emulator. 😏

technomad,

Hope so.

statler_waldorf,

I heard from a “friend” that it runs very well on a Switch emulator on a Steam Deck. Some pre-rendered cutscenes are janky. It has a pretty cool system where you can take a screenshot that will pin to the map to indicate places you need to find back to once you unlock a new ability, and sometimes those don’t render right either. But otherwise, gameplay is flawless. Or so I’ve heard.

criticalimpact,

I’ve heard this as well I’ve heard it works well on the steam deck too

Marsupial,
@Marsupial@quokk.au avatar

I reckon some sort of physically active girl already has it but packaged and released with a switch emulator so you can just go play it.

simple, do games w Little Nightmares II

I kinda liked the first game more. Felt a lot more cohesive in terms of themes and story, Little Nightmares 2 felt like it was about something else entirely. And yeah, that ending.

foudinfo,

Yeah it feels like they tried something different. With the first one, all the big ennemies were underlings of the Lady. Here, even though they inhabit the city (except for the hunter), they are not linked to the Thin man. It’s a bit confusing.

But overhaul the game is still really good and scary. IMO being chased is one of the scariest thing, so stressfull.

I know of at least one other place it is available, and they have it for the cheapest price 😈

Speculater,
@Speculater@lemmy.world avatar

Wrong. I know a place that will pay you to download it, if you’re willing to first disable Windows Defender.

Lemminary,

Don’t they also offer a great discount if you pay within 12 hours to unlock your personal files? I’m in!

“I’m mad because they are in the walled garden that is not my walled garden.”

AProfessional,

None of these are walled gardens really. That term applies to platforms (iOS) that restrict the user.

Steam and Epic are just stores. The DRM part isn’t even required (for Steam at least).

Randomgal,

Based.

NaoPb, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

Well, guess I’m going to pirate it.

bhamlin,

They count that. You have to not even steal it for them to realize they fucked up.

ModernRisk, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

Ubisoft is shit, most of their games are.

The moment I heard the new Prince of Persia had Denuvo, I wasn’t going to play it anyway.

rustyriffs,

Yep, double shitty. Makes me want to start sailing. 🏴‍☠️

@teft@lemmy.world avatar

If it’s denuvoed you’ll have to wait for the crazy bigot Empress to crack it. Could be a while.

shani66,

I’m still kinda shocked there isn’t anyone else trying. Maybe you need to be crazy to be a legend.

technomad,

cracking Denuvo shit must be incredibly challenging.

shani66,

It is, but i don’t think for a second empress is the only person to stumble across the solution. Unless it’s something so crazy only a crazy could do it.

I know there are a lot of reasons why it’s a harder choice to make; you can’t share the secret because that’s a security risk, you can’t make as much money, you are at greater risk. I guess i just miss the old days where people into tech were anti establishment and into doing things because it was cool.

technomad,

Good to know, I’m not really up to date with the scene.

30 seconds of googling revealed that someone already packaged the Switch version for PC with a preconfigured emulator.

It mandates a Ubisoft account everywhere anyway. Apparently on Switch in airplane more is the only way to circumvent this.

Phelpssan,
@Phelpssan@lemmy.world avatar

According to the DF review vídeo the account is required on PS/Xbox unless you’re offline, but entirely optional on the Switch.

It’s discussed around 15min into the video.

johnlobo,

I try the switch demo, you presses back multiple time, it skip the ubishit login.

@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

It will be because of the “First Run” deal that Epic offers, so you’ll get to play in 6 months. I don’t blame the studio for doing it though but it’s not ideal for some.

GeneralEmergency, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

it’s only available on ubisoft’s proprietary launcher

I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam

The fucking irony.

simple, do gaming w New mod team, new chances.

That was fast lol. Thanks for taking quick action, I was about to shoot a message to the admins about it. That guy was acting out for no reason.

While we’re at it, can we allow meme posts again? Feels like games@lemmy.world already has its place as the ‘serious’ gaming discussion.

Thanks!

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

Oh absolutely, this whole mess started I believe because Stamets dared to disagree with the active mod about meme posts being allowed. So since he’s now the mod, let the memes flow!

Catoblepas,

I wonder if this had something to do with it as well? Thank you guys for cleaning it up either way 🙏

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah… As said, I made a comment saying I disagreed with the memes being disallowed and almost immediately it was removed and I was banned. I noticed a few minutes later and sent it to a few people like “Dudes lost his mind.” Wasn’t long after that he just exploded. I mean it was hilariously stupid because we can reinstate all the posts with very little effort, and putting up a new banner or icon isn’t exactly heavy lifting either.

As for memes… yes. My whole comment said that I wasn’t sure of the difference between here and /c/games if memes weren’t allowed. As @Thekingoflorda suggested, he doesn’t seem to have an issue with memes. I certainly don’t. @JonsJava I haven’t had a chance to have a good chat with but we will at some point today and we’ll figure out the rules and stuff but I suspect that they’re not going to have an issue with memes. Although I do not want to speak on their behalf and guarantee nothing, mind you.

JonsJava,
@JonsJava@lemmy.world avatar

Meme all the memes!

PrettyLights, do gaming w New mod team, new chances.

Why not make a separate gaming memes community?

simple,

Not a great idea to fracture a community that’s already small imo.

PrettyLights,

The alternative seems to be flooding out discussion and news with low effort meme reposts.

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

I would say this is the separate meme community, !games is the more serious version.

PrettyLights,

The description of this community mentions gaming discussion and news here, and doesn’t mention anything about memes or being “less serious”.

Sounds like the community is being taken in a new direction than people signed up for.

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

I quickly wrote down that description a few seconds after noticing the rogue mod, so it shouldn’t be used as guide.

PrettyLights,

Is there any form of changelog for sidebars or community info?

How can I be sure rogue mods aren’t changing other community rules without notice?

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think that exists no, but if you see any malicious behavior, feel free to message me or any other admin.

SgtAStrawberry,

That link gets me nowhere. Where was it supposed to go?

Thekingoflorda,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

Oh that’s not supposed to be a link, that’s the name of the community, here’s a link: lemmy.world/c/games

SgtAStrawberry,

Thank you
