Bummer.

You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.

Inucune,

To the core! Diamond hands! Don’t buy until it is pennies so you make a fortune in the upswing!

This guy not only didn’t find his bitcoins, but now other people will make more money off of his story than he has. Oof.

I would hope he finds it several years from now and it’s unrecoverable, just because that would be funny. But I don’t actually hope that as I have seen nothing that says he deserves that. It was already kinda sad when he started looking, now it’s just depressing.

That would indeed be funny. So he can just move on with his life and move on.

Mac,

I heard he was abusive to his girlfriend or something. I hope he burns.

Tollana1234567,

Tollana1234567,

I like this guys because they are making an Expanse game. Are their Warhammer games fun?

redhorsejacket,

They have made one Warhammer game, Rogue Trader. It is a party based, turn based, RPG based upon a tabletop RPG ruleset. It’s quite good, though I admit that I play it on story mode difficulty cause I can’t be bothered to learn another RPG system right now, and idgaf about build crafting. With that being said, it’s a positively ENORMOUS game, with extraordinary amounts of optional content to interact with. If you go on expecting Space Marine 2, or Dawn of War, you’re likely going to be very upset. However, if you are prepared for something which apes the old Infinity Engine games of the 90s, or games inspired by the same, such as Pillars of Eternity, you’ll likely enjoy yourself.

Yeah, if someone is going to lose access to a game that I bought. It’s going to be me.

I liked this game a lot when I first started playing. Now in the back half of the game its just disappointing. Desyncs, crashes, and uneven balance all over the place. It has its charms but not something I would recommend anymore. Good to see they are on the right side of this though

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe,

Second time playing through, played before Lex Arbites and picked it up again after.

Genuinely, only had 1 crash on this run, maybe 3 on the last. All happened on Qetza Temer. But the uneven balance I can agree with. I’m playing through on the difficulty above medium (whatever it’s called) and now that I’m in the 4th act, sometimes they knock a party member in the first turn, sometimes my arch-militant will kick one guy down and stun him, shoot 7 more and kill 4, Heroic Action, more shooting, boss already compromised and surrounded by my melee and Cassia is making EVERYBODY whack him down.

Love it. It frustrates me. If it wasn’t Warhammer, it would only be a 6.5-7/10, but it’s so jam packed with lore tie ins that if you like the universe it’s at least a solid 8-9 for the love they put into it and continual update/community feedback. But that’s just like, my opinion, man

Whitebrow,

Not sure if this applies to you, but when it just released early on, there were difficulties between versions and save games from earlier ones didn’t play nice after updates, so I struggled to get through act 2, but then I disabled the auto update and played through it pretty much flawlessly, granted I had to start a new save file.

HuntressHimbo,

It hasn’t been the worst on my solo play through, mostly on a group one. There are a variety of issues that are workable, like how you will frequently start combats separated unless your group has the discipline of saints, or how one character will literally never be able to join combat because the terrain is impassable for him and him alone once initiative starts. These things we dealt with, but when combined with hours of lost progress from crashes and desyncs we threw in the towel

A really good game, but god fucking dammit why does it take an hour to clear a map?

All Warhammer game devs try not to be based challenge (impossible)

In January 2019, Tencent acquired about a 36% stake in Fatshark in a deal worth approximately 500 million kr (around US$56 million). Later, in January 2021, it was reported that Tencent had acquired a majority stake in the company valued at around 2.2 billion sek (around US$260 million).

Truscape,

Dammit. Always a catch after all… ;-;

That one really stings, because Darktide is a damn good game.

Sylvartas,

I was gonna say, I love fatshark’s games but unfortunately they’ve been pretty fucking far from based lately

Oh wow… an anonymous complaint that is complete nonsense… whatever will they do. I at least expect the EU to correctly dismiss this pathetic attempt.

This is just someone in the industry trying to buy time and throw gunk in the works of the initiative. Unless they are aggressively retarded they knew this challenge would fail, they just want to buy time.

I’m pirating any game made by any producer that oppose SKG.

If they want to antagonize consumers. Consumers will be their enemies.

Making award winning games aren’t the most effective way to make a quick buck. Getting children addicted to gambling is.

[…] violating EU stipulations requiring citizens to report any sponsor contributions over €500. If the initiative failed to disclose any such funding, that would be bad! However, the complaint argues that the initiative didn’t receive any monetary contribution; rather, it claims Scott simply volunteered too much of his own time to promote the movement, which—if you’ve decided words no longer mean anything—is basically the same thing.

🤣

@Dasus@lemmy.world avatar

So… Theyre complaining that his own time he put in was a donation worth over 500€ and he failing to disclose that, he’s made a mistake that can result in… dismissing the whole movement?

Seriously. How is it possible every fucking day there’s something that just steps over the line, despite the line moving every day.

It’s beyond impossible to do any sort of political satire currently ffs

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