Caligvla, do games w Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

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?”

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

I don't think that's the most likely outcome, but I could definitely see it happening and actively am hoping for it.

Nuke_the_whales, do games w Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld isn't just bad for the industry, it's bad for Nintendo

I don’t understand. So if I make a video game and my main character is an Italian plumber who wears red and blue, jumps on mushroom people and grows when he eats a mushroom, and Nintendo sues me. Nintendo is wrong? Or are we pretending palworld isn’t “Pokemon with guns” which was literally what people were pushing it as

ayyy,

Step 1: learn the difference between trademarks and patents. Then we can have a meaningful discussion.

Nuke_the_whales,

Oh I’m sorry Lemmy lawyer. I didn’t know we needed a law degree to comment on threads

ayyy,

That’s not what I said at all. I gave you very helpful information to put you on the path of understanding this case.

x00za,

The problem is that the fans of Palworld are actually fans of Pokemon and they will defend it like a Pokemon game.

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

the problem is, palworld isn’t “pokemon with guns”, they used that slogan originally sure, but palworld 100% shows more similar mechanics and concepts to ark then pokemon, it’s a mix of pokemon style mechanics and Arks RPG mechanics. I would say they had a stronger suit against trademark than they did mechanics side.

The only game mechanic similarity between the two is the ball capture system and the fact that it’s called a trainer/leader when you battle the NPC’s anything else is already present in other games.

By this logic, any game that features the ability to tame or capture monsters would be a pokemon clone. That’s far too broad of a category to allow as a patent if challenged. I personally believe it will result in them losing the patent as a whole if it is that patent they are fighting with.

Nuke_the_whales,

Anyways, it’s very very clear what game palworld took it’s creature design from. So I don’t think the lawsuit is as silly as the Nintendo haters insist

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

that would be a trademark or copyright suit not a patent suit. Patents are strictly mechanics, they didn’t sue on design, I agree I think they had a better case on that, but the Nintendo lawyers decided otherwise

@Lev_Astov@lemmy.world avatar

In the US, Atari tried to sue someone who made an Asteroids clone back in 1981 and lost because Meteors, the clone had made some improvements on the idea of Asteroids (color, among other things). This cemented US legal precedent that you can’t sue people for “ripping off” games so long as they make some meaningful change to it and aren’t just making a direct knock-off.

This current case is in Japan, however, where the legal landscape is very different and companies need to be legally aggressive to maintain any rights to their IP from what I understand. I have no idea how that’s going to go down.

morphballganon,

“Catch creatures to use to fight” is a broad enough theme that it should be fair use, and has other precedent. For example, it was done in Bomberman Generation. Why didn’t Nintendo sue Konami?

@CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

Seems like it might carry the slight risk of someone cheating to intentionally become a frog for the lols?

JCreazy,

Doesn’t it permaban after the match?

warm,

Yes, can vote to either end the game immediately and ban them or turn them into a frog for the rest of the match.

Zahille7,

Now people are gonna want a “froggers” (like “Fraggers”) mode.
