I saw this too late to claim Monster Train, but I applaud you for sharing your leftovers. Some of us don’t have much of a games budget. Thanks for doing this!

Not an RPG but is open world: Hyper Light Drifter

I’ve run it on a potato laptop before, so it should run fine.

I bought a bike helmet.

Oh, you meant on steam? Luckily my rig is still out of commission, so nothing.

It’s not an RPG, but I always recommend PowerWash Simulator. It’s one of those games where you don’t have to pay too much attention to the game and can watch stuff on your phone.

Aside from that, maybe World of Warcraft private server like ChromieCraft.

There’s also Starbound, Terraria, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, the Portal and Borderlands games, Half-Life 2 just received an update.

always assume every corporation always has every bit of data you’ve ever given them, even if they tell you they “deleted” it

In the back of my mind, I feel the same way, but at least they can be fined for infractions like this.

Did you attempt to close your account following the HK tournament controversy?

I stopped playing Blizzard games after that incident, because I’m not willing to populate the servers of a game company that punishes people for saying a few words in support of human rights. (I might eventually return, since Microsoft has replaced their upper management, but I’m not in a hurry.)

I never deleted my account, though, so I’m afraid I can’t offer another point of view on your situation.

Appreciate the sentiment nonetheless

I successfully deleted my account bank then for the same reason. No ID required.

I haven’t had any other communications associated with the account deletion, however.

Thanks for the input. I wonder if you were amongst the first few people to delete their account in response to the controversy.

kemsat, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?

I got, for $40.86:

Need for Speed Unbound, Far Cry 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Memoriapolis

batmaniam,

I loved FC5. Ubisoft gets a lot of crap because they make the same game over and over but there’s a reason they started doing that. Good characters, and the pacing is pretty solid unless you’re a completions (which is your own fault). There’s some weird mechanics that progress the story that kind of break immersion that they chose because of the open world setting, but it’s a solid game. Enjoy!

If you like it, “new dawn” is pretty OK. Wait for it to be cheap, it’s basically really meaty DLC.

kemsat,

I figured that for $5 I can deal with the Ubisoft stuff

The DLC for Dark Souls 3.

Decided to give it another try after picking it up in 2017 and hating it, and for whatever reason, I like it now.

As mentioned near the top, I preusme this was an automated test charge to check the validity of the payment method

My sincerest apologies in advance for an off-topic joke.

This is extremely loosely related to gaming but concerns a significant player in the industry.

Probably. Either way good luck heading up against their army of lawyers.

vikingtons, (edited )
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

That’s why we have the ICO here in the UK (and similar government bodies across Europe)

echodot,

They don’t have to.

If they violated gdpr they’re going to go up against the UK’s lawyers. That’s a wonderful thing about consumer protection, the consumer doesn’t have to do anything other than make a complaint.

Coreidan,

Nice. Hopefully they don’t get paid off to look the other way. I am not hopeful.

bassomitron,

Pretty sure the only thing that happens when violating GDPR is a fine, which is ultimately the same thing as “paying off” the government, but just in a legally obligated way.

echodot,

Well that’s because the ICO doesn’t have the teeth of my grandmother.

I neglected to mention in the post that I’ve already reached out to the ICO. Appreciate you linking this here for others in the UK who have dealt with the same thing though

catloaf,

Good shit. My first reaction to posts like these are always “ok but did you actually do anything about it, or just whinge on social media?”

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

I suppose I did want to find out if it happened to other people ahead of reaching out, but it can take up to 15 weeks for a case to get looked at, so I figured I’d send it asap.

Tactical Breach Wizards

AliasVortex,

You’re in for a treat! I picked it up at launch and loved every second of it. Heat Signature was pretty fun, but the writing and level design in Breach Wizards was just all around top notch.
