In a situation where sales are legal and the publisher or platform later choose to remove it from sale then it usually remains available in your library for download.
But in a situation where the publisher never had a legal right to sell the product then they were never legally able to grant distribution rights to the platform? In that case the license offered to the purchaser is invalid and it may be pulled from libraries.
It feels more like a dance game to me. Boring and awkward choreographed moves in response to predictable monster moves. Once you’ve learned the moves, then you can pay and play!
Pay 2 win? You can only get cosmetics from using real money… some cosmetics are char races that will change some stats but they hardly make you win… Getting +1 Agi for -1 Str isnt a huge “pay2win” difference lol
As a basis of a game… its amazing and unique! Does it have MASSIVE issues? For sure!
It, like most games nowadays is early access and the company has been through a bunch of crap so development is slow… There are a few “clones” of the idea of fantasy extraction shooters out there but all seem to fall short when it comes to immersion compared to Dark and Darker…
It is by far most fun at the start of the wipe and gets gradually worse through the season. I personally am hooked as there is nothing else like it out there.
What most people complain about now is how unbalanced some classes are compared to the rest, which will always happen in a fantasy setting game I think… (Ranged vs Melee vs Magic always have balance issues with hard counters etc)
I did a quick search but couldn’t find any issue with their anticheat.
From what I could find, it’s not a kernel level anticheat.
As far as damaging hardware, reading from a drive doesn’t really degrade it much at all, the bigger concern there would be if it was writing to your drive a ton (but honestly you should worry more about Window’s Page File system since that makes it possible to use your storage drive as RAM).
I found a post from one player on the steam forums with concerns about the anticheat because their system kept crashing, but that sounded more like an isolated incident (or more likely related to the Intel CPU issue that was confirmed that same year).
There is a highly upvoted review for the game which has concerns about the anticheat reading all files on a drive and “overloading your processors (ignoring frame-rate caps and going past it).”
I agree that reading every file on a drive is concerning, I’d rather any anticheat stick to just the game’s folders itself.
However, I’m wary about their understanding of programs/computers if they think that anti-cheat software should be limited by, or has anything to do with frame-rate caps. Also, they don’t provide a source for any of their information or how they tested it.
Most other cocerns about anti-cheat quoted that same review in one way or another.
I remember when I played it the first time, I sat on the ship, fishing, and I realized how the water changes colors with the weather, and it was the prettiest game I’ve seen, and I was just in awe. I never had that with any other game.
If the gameplay was a bit more complex, I would’ve spent years in this game I’m sure.
Sea is such a good game… it’s deceptive in its complexity. It comes across fairly simple and straight forward but I’ve learned it isn’t quite so simple haha. Definitely more than meets the eye.
Damn. Did it still get put back onto steam? I remember seeing something about it being put back on steam, but I haven’t really looked for it in a while.
Funny enough this is one of the early access games whose discord I follow, but I never pay attention to it
