AdrianTheFrog, do gaming w Indie dev baffled after acquaintance clones his game, puts it on Steam, and acts like it's no big deal: 'Happens every day homie'
@AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world avatar

Both games are completely free and without any sort of monetization, I do think he definitely should have linked to the original game and taken it down when the original creator asked, but a fan remaking a game doesn’t sound that unusual

No-one is profiting, no one is losing anything, why does it matter?

snek_boi,

Humans care about belonging and fairness. Profit is one type of political good that can be distributed based on different criteria, for example by selling a good or a service or by stealing or copying someone’s code. But profit is not the only political good that exists. There’s also relevance. There is credit. There is legitimacy.

TL;DR: Money is not the only thing that humans care about. Humans also care about fairness.

billgamesh,

It says in the article that he explicitly stated it was a clone, so yeah. only bad thing was being kinda a jerk when asked to take it down

Ahh, let the Ensh*ttification of all these platforms wash over you.

Paradachshund, do games w World of Warcraft boss says Microsoft is happy to 'let Blizzard be Blizzard,' but I'm not sure that's entirely true

And also what does that mean?

@ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world avatar

A toxic workplace, almost no customer support, and plenty of micro-transactions?

Anticorp,

It means they’re okay with Blizzard launching expansions on maintenance day, so that nobody can actually play until the day after the game is released.

Mango, do gaming w An AI company has been generating porn with gamers' idle GPU time in exchange for Fortnite skins and Roblox gift cards

Great. Now we’re trading pre-made traditional artwork to kids in exchange for fresh robot porn!

melpomenesclevage,

and the kids are getting the traditional art! would not have called it.

NateNate60, do gaming w Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive is laying off 5% of its workforce and 'rationalizing its pipeline,' the latest skin-crawling corporate euphemism for people losing their jobs
@NateNate60@lemmy.world avatar

Whatever happened to “We’re firing people because we realised we can do the job with fewer workers so we want to save money”?

At least then it’s honest.

metaStatic,

you've never been even remotely close to the cult of management have you?

Honest would be “We’re firing people to make our short term profits look better. That’s what my bonuses are based on, after all!”.

Mango, do gaming w Ubisoft is stripping people's licences for The Crew weeks after its shutdown, nearly squandering hopes of fan servers and acting as a stark reminder of how volatile digital ownership is

As if copies of a game on your computer is somehow more digital than the copy being on a disk or a chip that’s ROM.

evranch,

Digital ownership, not storage. As in DRM, GaaS licensing and always-online launchers.

A ROM cartridge was physical ownership, if you had the cartridge, you could play.

A CD-key was also a form of physical ownership, install the game and type in the key from the case, you could play.

richmondez,

That should be “ownership” as actual ownership implies having control over a thing and no one who “purchased” this seems to have much control. Breaking the DRM and creating a self hosted sever is taking ownership of it. Don’t pretend CD keys were physical ownership either unless the key was entirely validated offline which admittedly older key schemes were.

speck, do gaming w With a near-unprecedented official license for its fan server, one of PC gaming's great MMOs has a vibrant future: 'Let it be shouted far and wide: City of Heroes lives again'

Pretty stoked for this. The superhero genre seems strangely missing in gaming, barring IP related projects connected to DC and Marvel. This came the closest to matching the thrill of being a superhero, when it came out. Character creation was amazing, too

I’m glad he can see the issue but then part way through the interview he loses it, and jumps to feeding the capitalist system

Wish I could play

excitingburp,

Instantly refunded when I entered a queue.

Jackhammer_Joe,

Good, less queue for the rest of us 😎

btw: there are no more queues

Cordyceps,

Picked the game up yesterday. No queues, but the matchmaker is still having trouble filling pubgs. Also running into massive CPU utilization straight at start of game, and with Nvidia recommended graphic settings im getting dips to 25fps in some missions. Hopefully the technical patch is not too far away.

avater,
@avater@lemmy.world avatar

What card are you running, performance turns out to be pretty decent. I run this on a Radeon 6950 and on 1440p with everything on high and fsr on quality, I get 120+ fps on average. Or is this game more in favor of amd cards ?

pycorax,

To be fair if you have a 6950 XT that’s not much you can throw at it where it doesn’t run well.

ChicoSuave,

Weak willed

therealjcdenton,

Good choice. Only game where a queue can be understood is in something like FXIV where everyone is in one server and not instanced

murtaza64, do gaming w Dead Cells is calling it quits 7 years after its meteoric early access release

This was early access done right. I should probably play this game more and try to beat it now lol

stoly,

Mortal man can’t do 5bc lol.

Senal,

Got to 3, noped out.

Real good times.

stoly,

That was me! I figured that I succeeded by getting to 3bc. I played 3bc for a long time and realized that after a while that I was at my level. I guess I didn’t have the will to grind the skills needed to go further. Many great memories and I’m so glad I played it. Been seriously the best game I played in years.

big picture works great on any linux distro, why would i want anything more?

Jerkface,

If the reduction in overhead, or any other optimizations it might offer, increases performance even more, I might go out of my way to set up a multi-boot.

Big picture mode runs like complete shit for me no matter what I do

Arthur_Leywin,

It works* on any Linux distro. Definitely not great.

doggle,

A gaming-focused, curated experience that just works™️

With a little know how you can get 99% of the way there with any arch based distro, but installing a new OS for non techies can be pretty intimidating. Having Valve’s assurance that it works with all common hardware would help more people take the plunge, I think.
