When you run out of even decent logical arguments you attack the people. This really tells that the industry is afraid of this movement and will use all the dirty tricks they know to oppose it.

sanpo,

“Run out”? They never had any arguments.

It was pure unchecked greed and they’re panicking since the movement has a real chance of succeeding now.

Very true. Was just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Klear,

What about “I worked at Blizzard!”. Is that an argument?

lordnikon,

Rachel: There’s no way we can link the gun to Maroni, so we won’t be able to charge him with anything, but the fact that they’re trying to kill you means that we’re getting to them.

“Look at all this paid labour he’s been doing, if he’d been getting paid!”

Goodeye8,

I took it as "Look at all this labour he's been doing. He must be getting paid". They can't fathom someone working on their dream for free.

fushuan,

It's more of a "he's getting paid from the movement and then donating all that pay right back!!!!" Stupidity.

jawa21,

This is what I'm wondering about? Are there videos monetized in any way? If so, they could attempt that argument.

Decq,

Does the argument work both ways? If effort is the same as being paid for. Does that mean pirating a game is the same as buying it? After all it’s basically the same effort these days.

Of course the argument doesn’t fly, as you cant actually buy a game anymore, just a temporary license for an undisclosed amount of time.

Ross isnt the movements founder, other people started the citizens initiative. He says this in his videos multiple times.

Dultas,

I believe he is the founder of “Stop Killing Games” however the EU petition is by “Stop Destroying Videogames” a different, but aligned org. They often just get lumped together as “Stop Killing Games”, hence the confusion.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Right, but the complaint is wrong. They are filing against the citizens initiative, which Ross is not the founder of. Then the media outlet is conflating the two in their article title, which makes things worse.

Tells you that the guy behind it is causing some folks in the halls of power to get some uncomfortable questions.

I’ve never played multi player, it’s fun solo

RetroGoblet79,

That’s great to hear! I’ve been itching for a survival crafting game and every one of them seems geared towards co-op.

I enjoyed playing this after it launched, great game with potential. My only complaint was the Ground Hog Day effect with monster spawns. You’d run into the same critters, in the same locations, over and over again. I figured the game was pretty new at the time, and hoped the devs would eventually randomize spawns to make it less monotonous. If they have, may need to start up a new game.

TwoSteps,

The last time I played, they had changed this: when you explore new areas, enemies from those areas will start spawning in old locations. I’d still like to see a randomizer option sometime in the future, but I like the new changes.

I got about 65 hours in the game as of yesterday, it’s just so good.

blue_skull,

Is it doable solo?

ArchmageAzor,
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely, I’ve played solo for all those hours.

blue_skull,

awesome, thanks.

Well it’s crazy that they’re accusing him of giving too much of his own time.

I really hope the Stop Killing Games initiative changes something as I want to own my (single player) games forever on every store (not only GOG as it’s not so Linux friendly despite the heroic games launcher).

Love the headline. Great to see publications directly call out bullshit

SalamenceFury, do gaming w Valve confirms credit card companies pressured it to delist certain adult games from Steam
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

The rabbit hole actually goes deeper.

bsky.app/profile/…/3lubibyz6r22r

Apparently the people doing this type of pressuring on the credit card companies are anti-furries, TERFs, and other right-wing anti-porn think tanks, with a possible goal to erase all queer or pornographic content off the internet.

BackgrndNoize,

Weird fucks, uncomfortable in their own skin so now they can’t handle others just living their life their way

SidewaysHighways,

They are uncomfortable in their own skin, so they are mad at other people who, (also uncomfortable) choose to download another skin

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

how does one “pressure” credit card companies to that extent?

also just because a group claims responsibility doesn’t mean they actually had anything to do with it.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Lobbying, I’d imagine.

ushmel,

Shareholders can vote on the executive positions so they pressure the CEO to do what they want.

captainlezbian,

And that’s why I fight for this sort of content despite personally finding it disgusting.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, as much as I absolutely hate people who draw/write incest and pedophilia on a fetishistic manner I know it’s just the first step to banning any other type of porn.

Those people should probably tag their shit, tho. Furries who are into incest are extremely bad about this.

AngryRobot,
murmelade,

This is the only way they can stop themselves from buying the games.

not even “possible goal”. that IS the goal

I am tagging this so I can check out this game when I get home.

Man that site is such an ad dump haven… a ad disaster when on iOS.

EarMaster, do games w RTX remaster mod for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines looks like witchcraft
@EarMaster@lemmy.world avatar

So we’re adding more advanced reflections to a game with characters most known for having no reflections…

malle_yeno,
@malle_yeno@pawb.social avatar

Hate to “umm ackshually” over what amounts to a difference of fictional rules, but for what it’s worth, vampires do have reflections in the World of Darkness setting. Only vampires of clan Lasombra (not playable in bloodlines) don’t have reflections since it’s their clan weakness.

Otherwise, if all vampires couldn’t have reflections, it would be incredibly easy to tell who’s a kindred and there would be no way of keeping up the Masquerade.

EarMaster,
@EarMaster@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t know that. Maybe the world is in dire need of a RTX remaster for this game…

RampantParanoia2365,

I mean, if everything but the vampire has reflections, that does drive the point home.

This looks promising, gonna keep an eye on it cause TMB was one of my top RPGs of all time. It was so damn good
