They can take the tip of my dick

Blizzard is such a disgusting company nowdays. They don’t even try to hide it.

Sure, put it out for free and I’ll donate the same as I do for any open source software I use.

I think all CEO’s should create some sort of tip platform.

They do so much single handedly for the company, most companies could simply not exist or have any direction without them and their leadership.

And to make things worse they aren’t appreciated and are hardly compensated.

Imagine having to go to lunches at fancy golf courses, trips with your peers to exotic locations, all for a measly few hundred million per year?

CEO’s are almost being mistreated and borderline persecuted infront of us, and all they want is to be treated and compensated fairly like the average worker with 3 jobs.

Maybe if we all come together and show them that we care , and more importantly, send them as much of our money as we can, then they will feel better about their terrible circumstances.

The fact that they keep improving this game is just gold. And here i was, thinking of doing a full evil durge playthrough on honour mode. This update will add a new motivation to do so, if i don’t spoil myself by watching the new endings of course.

I played once as a goody-two-shoes, trying to keep all my followers in check (even the vampire). Are there any companions that stick with you on evil playthroughs?

I just put my current durge run on hold to finish off a different run, so hopefully when I come back, the patch will be live.

Pronell,

I’ve finished the game three times and keep the end savefile, so I can still go back to my Durge and see what’s new.

Geeze.

Delphia, do gaming w Nintendo Forcing Garry's Mod To Delete 20 Years' Worth Of Content

As the parent of a small child I wish I could boycott Nintendo.

drspod,

You could introduce your child to emulation :)

Delphia,

Another year or two…

Problem is that Nintendo for all their faults still make GREAT games for kids. And if adult pc gamers think they have it bad they should have a look at the predatory shitshow that is tablet games for the 5 and under market… its properly fucking ridiculous. At least Nintendo has the common decency to give me an amazing and full game for its eyewatering prices.

the indie space still has a ton of stuff. you lose the benefit of always having accessibility features and easy ui navigation depending on the game (although a ton of indie games have better modding and accessibility support than a lot of high budget games as of recently, just in case they come to be interested), but you still get to see a ton of different stuff.

  • Celeste
  • OneShot
  • Rythm Doctor
  • Terraria (has android ver.)
  • A Dance Of Fire And Ice (has android ver.)
  • MiniMetro (has android ver.)
  • ShatteredPixelDungeon (has android ver.)
  • StuntRally
  • Mindustry (has android ver.)
  • HyperRogue (has android ver.)
  • SuperMeatBoy
  • Don’t Starve
  • Undertale/Deltarune (have unofficial android ver.)
  • Sky Rogue
  • SuperTuxKart (has android ver.)

most of these without coming close to Nintendo’s approach to fan works, so i’d say you’re not going to lose much if you know the right places.

if you want games for Android, Mitch is a third-party access to itch.io, a game store where you can by the game and get the game straight into a zip file or what-have-you. no DRM, no questions asked. about half the games i mentioned are in there without the predatory behavior most of the time.

How many of those games are suitable for kids 5 and under really…?

Wilker,

i’d probably pick MiniMetro and simple rythm games like ADOFAI or Rythm Doctor to begin with, simple shapes and an obvious thing to learn to do.

MineTest (has android ver.) and StuntRally are pretty close to reach if you’re willing to be patient and teach them to explore an open space on their own or of their own (one is basically a sandbox engine like Garry’s Mod, the other has a map editor alongside the several open maps). takes a while to understand the UI of each but it’s possible to use.

Celeste is notoriously difficult regardless of age, as a platformer about climbing a mountain, but i’m sure they can grasp it (no pun intended).

non-game programs are also an option. i remember having my mom teach me to use MSPowerPoint which made me break and build a ton of things later on by the time i was 7, it was a mess, but i made that mess :3
try an art program like Pencil2D, Krita or InkScape, maybe something unrelated like LibreOffice Impress or KDE Marble, or a music program like MilkyTracker (has android ver.) and take your time to teach them to make a tune or a flipbook or navigate a map, i’m sure they’ll have fun with something like it too.

Seriously wtf is up Nintendo’s ass lately. They’ve always been litigious but the last few years have been pretty extreme.

Maybe a new head of department?

andrew_bidlaw,

Or overcompensation since they acted on emulators and found out there’s more to this? Someone’s started another useless crusade.

The emulator is more likely that the Switch 2 was supposed to be released this year and ended up getting pushed to next year. This means they have to support the Switch fully for another year and it’s a harder sell when it’s easy for customers to make a choice between:

  • A Switch and 3ish games

Or

  • A Steam Deck that can play all the Switch games for free

When these are both the same price. The fact that instructions were easy to find and follow didn’t help.

notfromhere,

Solution is simple. Sell their fucking games on Steam.

SomeGuy69,

I fear they’re not going to stop here either. Soon we’ll read news about Minecraft mods and other fan content as well. Backup everything.

9point6,

I wonder if there being an R4 style cart released recently for the switch has lit a fire under their arses

Maybe they expanded their legal department recently

MossyFeathers,

It appears to be part of a series of fake DMCAs. Some asshat has been going around dmca-ing sfm, Gmod, and tf2 maps under different names with a lookalike email domain.

huginn,

The fact that DMCA requests don’t have to be signed with an asymmetric key that lets you validate the company that sent it was actually behind the request is some of the dumbest shit.

We’ve known how to use certs online forever. Certainly well before the DMCA. Why the fuck wasn’t that a provision?

Oh right because our politicians are tech illiterate apes.

teawrecks,

They’re like Japanese Disney. They’re nothing without their IP and they know it.

They also know that the only reason they have DK as a character is because Universal dropped the ball in protecting their IP. If they let Garry’s Mod casually have a “Mario” character in it, it dilutes their ability to legally go after some other studio who straight up makes an unofficial Mario game.

Kyrgizion,

It started after Satoru Iwata’s death in 2015. He was a notorious true gamer/engineer before CEO and his vision was always long-term. The two who have replaced him since have decidedly chosen the short-term route for fast profit vs long term consumer binding.

I mean, as I understand, that was the purpose of that company. His customers were not the players, but rather investors. They wanted lots of companies to be acquired. And they were free to pull out their money, if that plan stopped working, which they did, which is why Embracer evaporated.

So, task failed successfully, I guess.

According to a comment on another post on lemmy. The takedown notice is fake, probably sent by some troll. Garry’s Mod is still removing stuff though, because they think it’s real.

catloaf,

Legally, they have to, until they get a counter-notice (or realize it’s fake).

Apparently they confirmed, and it isn’t fake 😀
