Mammothmothman, do games w Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update

Crap there goes my evening.

Lucidlethargy, do games w Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages

Is this a Linux problem? I’ve never had to look for this detail before in Windows.

It does prevent Linux compatibility, but even if it didn’t, it’s a computer security problem, for those who care. You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid slash desperate slash addicted some gamers are, doesn’t it?

CheeseNoodle,

Most gamers don’t know that easy anti-cheat is a rootkit to begin with.

raspberriesareyummy,

is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?

CheeseNoodle,
raspberriesareyummy,

Well - if people still trust any piece of software coming from Epic…

trigonated,

Mostly, and even some Windows users don’t want to install software that has such a great amount of permission over the entire system just for a game’s anti-cheat.

It’s nice that users can now know beforehand if a game uses such software. Avoids refunds.

bay400,

Unless, of course, they add it months after release drastically limiting your chances of refunding (looking at you EA WRC 2024 😡)

trigonated,

That sucks : (

michaelmrose,

If they change the deal they should have to offer refunds. This makes it an expensive choice after the fact.

michaelmrose,

No its common for anti-cheat on Windows to have full root permission to your entire system Windows users are just on average less intelligent, less concerned about privacy, and, more ignorant about technology. This doesn’t mean using Windows makes you stupid its just the OS of choice for the stupid and ignorant.

nforminvasion,

Holy logical fallacy batman. Ad hominem much?

michaelmrose,

Ad hominem isn’t when you insult people AND make an argument its when you insult people INSTEAD of making an argument.

User initially believes that this is only a Linux issue because its almost entirely discussed on forums frequented by technical people who often use Linux whereas forums full of Windows gamers are equally effected but ignorant of the topic.

ouch, do games w Oxenfree is being completely removed from itch.io in October

I sent email to oxenfree@nightschoolstudio.com and told them in no uncertain words that what they are doing is illegal, and asked how they are going to fix the situation.

If I can find time to, I’ll see about contacting the local consumer protection organisation.

What law does this break?

bjoern_tantau, do games w Next Heroic Games Launcher release to include initial GOG Galaxy support
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Nice, i wonder if that also means that we won’t have to download the installers or can just download all of the game files directly. Should make installing big games a lot faster and also help with limited disk space.

fhein, do games w Sci-fi racing platformer Distance gets a surprise update with Steam Deck improvements

Hooray, I can finally play it. Had it on my wish-list for years, when I finally bought it I found out that neither the native Linux or the Windows+Proton version was working.

lowleveldata, do games w Dome Keeper is getting a major content update and multiplayer is coming

Dome Keeper looks a lot like Wall World. Are those from the same developers?

simple,

Apparently not, Wall World looks like a copy of it. Suspiciously similar art style, too.

bayank, do games w Arms Race returns to Counter-Strike 2, custom sticker placement, Zeus skin and more

This is great to hear, I only exclusively played arms in csgo and was so sad when they forced everyone to cs2 and didn’t include arms race , I walked away from the game completely but now I have a reason to come back

@SouravSatvaya@lemmy.world avatar

Speaking of classic puzzle games, I want to play Hexic once again. Unfortunately, it’s not available for PC. Microsoft needs to bring it to the PC.
