dude, why are you paying the same game more than 1 time?

MudMan, (edited )

Yeah, for instance I played basketball once and I was done.

I was roped into playing poker twice, but I already knew the ending, so it wasn't as good the second time.

You’re being down voted but I see it.

(OP has a typo in the image that says "short but repayable game)

My brain autocorrected the typo in the image but I caught it before reading the comments, then it auto"corrected" the top comment to match the fix for the post, but this time I didn’t catch it til you pointed it out.

Duamerthrax,

Cause the game is fun and I already paid for it.

This strikes me as though the TOS existing is one of the (seemingly few) things out of their control when using the ip, but they went and made it as pro-consumer as they could.

I wonder if there’s a way to transfer the game from my Steam account to my GOG account.

@redeven@lemmy.world avatar

There is none in the way of a transfer. Neither Steam nor GOG will give you a copy of the game in exchange for another platform’s copy, nor give you a copy on a competing platform in exchange for theirs.

provided the technical protections measures used by the Game support such transfer

This boils down to if your method of ownership supports it, you can do it. Neither Steam nor GOG support it. A physical disk copy would support it, for instance, so you’d be entirely allowed to transfer ownership of your physical disk copy of the game.

Excellent breakdown. This almost definitely only applies to the Deluxe Edition that is a physical copy.

Steam explicitly doesn’t let you give your account away or sell it, likely because they service so many different companies, that it would be impossible to handle the licensing changeover for all your games. It’s still frustrating, but it also makes a little sense, considering each game is often owned by a series of different companies.

ColeSloth,

I’ll only buy digital games if I get them at garbage bin sale prices. If I can’t sell it when I’m done, I’ll only pay an amount small enough that I wouldn’t go through the trouble of selling it.

With GOG, you could theoretically download the offline installer, give that to someone else and then ask GOG support to remove BG3 from your account, and be fully abiding with the EULA conditions.

redeven,
@redeven@lemmy.world avatar

But that wouldn’t give you a Steam copy, which is the scenario I was describing, along with the inverse mentioned in the original comment. There is no method supported by GOG or Steam to transfer a game to a competing platform.

Also in your case, the receiver would only have that one offline installer, the game wouldn’t be in their GOG library, and they wouldn’t get future updates.

catloaf,

Steam does support it. A long time back, I was still new to Steam, and activated a key on a second account I’d created. I opened a support case, told them I’d activated it on the wrong account, and asked them to transfer it. They did.

redeven,
@redeven@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a transfer within the platform, very different from the scenarios I described. There is no method supported by GOG or Steam to transfer a game to a competing platform.

You can’t open a support case and tell them “sorry I actually wanted this game on GOG, can you transfer it to my account there?”. At best you could ask for a refund, obviously if you’ve played the game enough you wouldn’t even be able to ask for that.

mox,

I wish I could suggest campaigning for GOG Connect to support it, but sadly, it looks like they shut it down.

I think this was one of the few EULAs I actually read though, mostly to see if I was going to sell my soul to them as part of it.

Did not, but was not disappointed, their lawyers definitely got to have some fun.

Any games that restrict sale of your property to other users are okay to be pirated imo.

Iceblade02,

I did pirate the game, and then it was so utterly awesome that I went and bought it shortly after they patched in the epilogues.

One of the reasons I have the steam achievement for finishing the game, but not the one for finishing the tutorial xD

haui_lemmy,

Smooth! :)

illi,

This is how you battle piracy

drbluefall,

imho, that’s how you find the some of the best games games.

Find the ones that people pirate, then enjoy so much that they go out of their way to get an official copy.

Victory at any cost, unless you recently crossed me, then it’s “Anyone’s victory but you”.

Like Mario Party, or a less violent game of Monopoly.

Less “playing” and more “bug testing”. In the final stages of developing an aircraft for XPlane 11/12 and have been putting in a lot of hours in flight looking for graphical glitches, system bugs, etc…

There is the other side. When everyone is playing so badly that there is no fun at all. Even on the ranks. All your efforts go down the toilet.

soggy_kitty,

What game does this happen with?

Alexstarfire,

I’d say League. Games may not start that way but they can end up that way pretty quickly. Like, people can play well in certain states. Once they get out of that state they may pay like shit. E.g get killed twice in quick succession and they start doubting themselves or playing to aggressive trying to catch back up and keeping making mistakes as a result.

Being able to keep a level head is as much a skill as anything else.

soggy_kitty,

Fair point.

It does make me think how many people would describe a good player as a overly competitive player. It’s completely subjective and up for interpretation

EssentialCoffee,

Folks who play professionally are often both. I don’t think that’s really all that subjective.

Smurfs on Dota 2 are the worst, though I do appreciate valve trying to punish these. CS:GO on the other hand…

Valorant in a nutshell. Play Spike Rush or Swift Play to warm up and get better. People on mic or in All chat saying things like “tryhard!” as if the point of the game isn’t to try to win.

Just got Snufkin: Melody of the Moomin Valley

Originally for my wife, but she got annoyed by the movement too fast. My favourite review of the game so far:

“In this game you will play as the world famous criminal and ecoterrorist Snufkin.

Snufkin is unemployed but charismatic traveller-musician helping various interesting creatures of Moominvalley, all while sabotaging typical autocratic right-winger Hemulen’s plans on making up mundane rules and destroying everything good and beautiful.

Cops in the game are represented evil and stupid, as they are in real life, so I would recommend the game for the whole family as educational game.

On the serious note: Gameplay is fine for this type of game. The core is in the atmosphere, dialogue and sound design which all are great. So far the experience has been smooth, fun and relaxing. Would recommend, but adults should not expect much challenge here.”
