Yep. I have the exact same problem with EA-Connect. My account is just gone because EA doesn’t offer any support.

A lot of private information

Public nicknames, passwords and emails that could be fished from public dumps and retried, public crew names… Where’s the private and where is the a lot?

Also you’re not even paying attention. You called someone Aaron well after they’ve left the conversation.

Yeah I wouldn’t have let you in either with that hostility and level of vaguery

Looking at the conversation, you do sound like a hackerkid™ trying to social engineer itself into someones rockstar account

You should give them the info they ask for
Also, the poor indian dude answering you probably doesn't have access to you crew's name in gtav or anything like that.

I advise you to try out GOG and itch.io as they sell games wbthout DRM

Lyra_Lycan,

Thanks, yes that’s good advice. I’ve got an account with GOG and use their launcher

Although l think it sacrifices achievement progress, you may consider Heroic Games Launcher instead, which is open-source.

Maybe I was lucky, but I had the same issue where I no longer had access to my old e-mail account and they sorted it out for me within a few hours (after a few e-mails back and forth).

It probably helped that I was able to provide them with a screenshot of the game in my Steam library as well as a list of all the games linked to my Rockstar account with dates of purchase. To find the dates of purchase on Steam I went to “account details” and “view purchase history”.

Lyra_Lycan,

Thanks - from what I can gather the support member is a roulette spin with each message - hopefully I can use your tips and increase my chances of success

Lembot_0004, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

Ok, I won’t. I don’t like launchers anyway.

Dudewitbow, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

yeah this is the circle of ownership because the only way to get your account back at this point is social engineering, which is a serious topic about getting accounts hacked which different companies will handle seriously, as it requires a level of “trust me bro” on identity, If possible, id try to look for a CS that will take receipts of the game purchases to help further prove your identity.

First, it feels like a cozy little game, awesome artwork, everything’s happy and chill. Then they hit you with the real game, helping people cross over after they died. Not so bad. Then the REAL real game is explained to you, and it is gut-wrenching. I didn’t just have a tear or 2, I full on ugly cried. Every emotion is utilized in that game.

yermaw,

I might need to reinstall that, I cant remember if I finished it or not. Hedgehog Granny broke my heart hard.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a fun dating sim, but it has slightly more emotional breadth than that, so it might pass this test.

yermaw,

God damn I wish I’d stumbled across that naturally instead of being forced into it because i cant tell you lol spoilers iykyk lol dude you gotta play it.

Tap for spoilerI found Inscryption naturally though, I had no idea it was gonna do half the shit it did. That cheered me right up.

@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

which emotional extremes? happiness? joy? fear? sadness? terror? hunger? beautiful food? lust? lust for the beautiful food? i got a lot of emotions just right now lets be real, there’s more than two.

Katana314,

Sorry I should have clarified.

I specifically meant hunger and lust. I will begin removing other examples.

MycelialMass,

I dont think hunger is an emotion

Tell me this doesn’t uh evoke or invoke, maybe invoice I dunno anymore, an emotional response

MycelialMass,

Oh no doubt food can evoke an emotional response, like coming home on a cold rainy day to smell of your loved one baking cookies or something. But hunger itself I wouldnt class as an emotion

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

i guess you haven’t experienced capitalized Hunger yet then. like, not eating for two months hunger. trust me, it’s an emotion as well as a physical response.

Mother 3 is both the funniest, most charming game and also the most emotionally brutal story about loss, grief, and growing up with trauma. Never has a Gameboy advance game made me cry so much

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II did this really well just this year. Largely a story about contrasting a desire for adventure with the horrors and realities of war, it also has quests that are full of comedy. You can try to attract a pack of wolves using what the shepherd refers to as his absolute dumbest sheep; you can get blackout drunk with a band of mercenaries who may or may not have killed your childhood friends; you can clean up and decorate a crypt full of loose bones for a man who speaks only in rhymes, poorly, and might be a ghost.

I’m playing this now and was going to mention it as well. It’s quite fun and engaging both in the main plot and side quests.

MolochAlter, do games w After More Layoffs, Unionized IGN Workers Are Done Picking Up The Slack: "We feel greatly understaffed and undervalued"

My bet is: you can’t reliably fire unionised workers, so you make them want to quit instead.

The IGN newsroom is a joke, name one reputable journalist you are SURE works there without checking first, and I’ll be genuinely surprised, the only value is in the brandname, their coverage can probably be replaced by some LLM horseshit with nobody really noticing.

The higher ups know it, the journos know it (hence why they unionised) and thus they’re at an impasse.

Once they inevitably lose this standoff they’ll be replaced by third-worlder english speakers with chatgpt, mark my words.

Rebekah Valentine is a top tier games journalist doing reporting for IGN.

MolochAlter,

Noted, I didn’t even know she existed. What are some good articles she wrote for IGN that you’d recommend?

I don’t expect IGN to keep anyone on the writing team but it’s good to know good authors.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Here’s a pretty good summary from a few years ago.. While her byline is full of articles reporting what everyone else is in games, she’s also one of the few who will break stories as well.
