lath, do games w The four horsemen of unmet financial expectations

Of all the good games hoarded by EA, I only bought Dragon Age Origins, on GOG.

And despite the low prices, i ain’t touching the Mass Effect series as long as they’re rooted like this.

Just because I’ve got nothing to hide doesn’t mean I’m an exhibitionist.

A couple of weeks ago the Mass Effect Trilogy was so cheap on Steam that it was hard to resist, so I pirated it. I’m already on Mass Effect 3, it’s been a while since I played the trilogy.

MajorHavoc, (edited )

I’m no pirate, but if I was, I would pirate Mass Effect 3.

It’s definitely one of the titles that makes me feel like EA is handing out eye patches.

Am I misunderstanding that it’s single player?

Why in the world can’t I just give them some cash and get to play it offline without spyware?!

I know who will let me play Mass Effect 3 offline without spyware.

And they be good hearted folk, once ye get to know 'em. Aye!

__Lost__,

I bought mass effect legendary edition from epic last year, it was super cheap and I never played. I finally installed it a couple weeks ago and am playing the first game. It’s a great game, but the drm infrastructure is really frustrating.

To play the game, I need to:

Don’t click the desktop icon it installed for me, nothing will happen Start EA app Don’t click the icon on the side, nothing will happen Click on library Click on game Ignore the helpful hint to use the icon on the side to save time Click on launch This starts the epic store This then starts the mass effect launcher Click launch on the game I want While the game is loading, the epic store will now steal focus back and I need to alt-tab back to the game Now I can play the game and it works fine

It really makes me think about pirating the other games instead of continuing this bs. Plus I should be able to then play them on Linux instead of needing to boot into Windows to play.

Gaben was absolutely correct in saying that piracy is a service problem.

Tetris is Russian propaganda that teaches children doing good work is pointless as it will just be taken away and you’ll be forced to do it again until you do it half assed.

Satisfactory promotes a good work ethic, no problem here.

SkaveRat,

Streamlining and optimizing work, fixing technical debt and killing bugs. Yup, looks good

Pokémon taught children everywhere that if they enter strangers’ houses without warning, the strangers might randomly give them useful objects that help them in life.

The Sims. It’s an affront to God that a human gets to play God if they’re not a billionaire or religious Christian leader.

Spore. That game is another affront to God because it teaches the harmful idea that creatures can change through evolution, which goes against God because He created all creatures and they have never ever changed and obviously look the exact same as they did when he created the Earth 6k years ago.

Mortal Kombat on SNES. Hilary Clinton said it’s a super realistic violent video game and since then there has never been anything near as violent. That game is the most violent game to ever exist and there is nothing that will ever top it.

And finally, the worst game of all:

Your moral panic isn’t welcome here.

DdCno1,

I think you’re missing a joke here.

BmeBenji,

Yup

Abnorc,

I welcome the panic.

teslasaur, do games w PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery

When I was young I always wondered why the nhl games had a 16+ rating and Fifa had 3+. Figured both of them where ordinary sports.

Apparently fighting automatically shoots that nhl rating to the same level as GTA and balantro.

@obywatelle@szmer.info avatar

Nie mam pewności, musiałbyś chyba wiedzieć w jakim sądzie odbywała się sprawa, znaleźć ją po uczestnikach albo namierzyć sygnaturę, i wtedy w ogólnodostępnym katalogu powinien być zanotowany wyrok. Ale to w teorii, nigdy tego nie robiłam.
