  • Burghler,

    Much of the pirated games though will be GOG installers so might as well just install it with lutris/wine

    goat,

    i wouldn’t pirate an indie game tho

    Even DRM-free, all digital purchases are still just a license, legally speaking.

    Pragmatically speaking, they can't forcibly take the bits off my hard drive. But it also bears pointing out that these days most games on Steam don't bother enabling Steamworks DRM either.

    The vast majority of the bestsellers on steam either have normal DRM or DRM via being an online service. At least the bestsellers in 2023.

    I like GOG and I like steam too. While it is true that GOG can’t take the offline installer from me, this does not make it true I can play the game forever since many games are dynamically linked to libraries that may not be available in the future. This happened to me with games I just had bought. Steam also dynamically links to libraries but what I like about the way they are doing it is that these are part of the base installation so as long as you keep these files, the games should keep working. Nothing being perfect, I think they both try to do things in their own way and try to convince us that it is the best one.

    Sure, and if you don’t uninstall Galaxy, go through some hidden menus and download the installers then your GOG games will be gone regardless.

    You don’t need to ever interact with Galaxy to play your games, not even to download the offline installer. And the download option is not hidden on the website.

    That’s a failure to download the installers to begin with, not them being taken away from you after the fact.

    Unfortunately the VR game selection in GOG seems pretty slim and they might still need steam VR to run anyways so either way i don’t have much choice.

    narrator told me there’s a star—which might be a stone, which is also a goddess. A goddess of destruction, even! She’s bad, but she was shattered, and some people have pieces of her, which could be good—but maybe only if you’re bad?

    Part of me wants to experience the shitshow first hand, seems like an absolute riot. Realistically tho, never happening, I’ll probably look up some gameplay video at some point.

    ByteOnBikes,

    Meh. I’ve played a few of these Korean MMOs when theyre brought over the States. I don’t mind them.

    If I was a kid with unlimited time and no pocket money, they’d be amazing. Turn off world chat, ignore the micro transactions store, and it’s easily solid 10-15 hours of quality gaming. Some even have really high quality cinematics. Once Human is really polished and fun.

    After 15 hours (and like every single MMO since forever), it becomes a slog. By that point, I usually jump back into a single player game.

    Man, you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, much less its title, but when I heard “Throne and Liberty” for the first time, it immediately sounded like something lazily slapped together. I guess, it makes sense that specifically the localization is lazily slapped together.

    I don’t know that I’d say that the scene looked good, exactly; it certainly looked expensive.

    Lmao. Give this man a raise. His snark is on point.

    Why do the worst games produce the most amazing reviews?

    sp3tr4l,

    … Its’s Big Whale Day!

    Amazing.

    Albbi,

    I nudged my sliders until all the important factors—tear duct length, tear duct height, skin glossiness, etc—were where I needed them to be, and then hit the “randomize appearance” button a few times for good measure. Then, I booted my creation out the door and into life.

    Did I write and publish it this while sleepwalking or something?

    Why won’t more reviews call shitty games, “pasghetti ass?”

    Mixel, do gaming w Switch emulator Ryujinx goes offline due to pressure from Nintendo.

    Honestly I am tired of Nintendo I cant buy any games of them while they keep up this behavior this is unacceptable, at least for yuzu there was a minimal reasoning this is just a thread to begin with

    InfiniWheel, do gaming w The Day Before studio returns from the dead and asks for a 'second chance': 'From now on, our development and marketing will be based on the principle of honesty'

    Honestly if anyone gives them their money at this point. That’s on them.

    Rose,

    Already 60% of the goal reached, with 28 days to go. 😩

    Donut,

    It’s only 30 people that have pledged the $14,670. This almost averages to $500 per backer, which is a lot higher than the normal average.

    My theory? They are arranging the pledges themselves to make it look like they are desired.

    Rose,

    That would be perfectly in line with their past behavior.

    turbulentMagma,

    One single person pledged S$12000 for the dinner with devs tier

    Donut,

    Ah I should have checked that, yeah. That will bump up the average by quite a bit. Thanks for the logic to my conspiracies, I should have known better

    Rose, (edited )

    Now refunded it seems. The person probably contributed to say it’s a scam, like some of the other backers in the comments.

    We’ve noticed that some backer’s contributions to our Kickstarter may not have the best intentions behind them, and we want to ensure that all support is genuine and positive. With this in mind, we have decided to return the 12k SGD so that the funds can be put to better use by their owner
