You need to report this to your local data protection authority (or similar). They didn’t carry out your deletion request, so they would most likely be fined (at least that happens often in my country).

Yup, reported this to the ICO two days ago.

Absolutely nothing, like in the past like 5 years.

Currently (re)playing all Half-Life and Portal games in order they were released.

Thinking about Sins of a Solar Empire 2. Any opinions?

Did you like the first one? This is just… a little more of that.

I bet you could get BG3 running on it at low-mid settings.

Also the Witcher series should work fine.

I love Oxygen. It’s such a fun game. I can spend hours on just one save

Lemminary,

I also got it last sale but I think I had grown out of it and didn’t realize it until I was watching the tutorials. Maybe it’s one of those games I enjoy watching others play instead? I should’ve pirated it first before buying as I usually do…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
