Don't give them money because you aren't able to keep your email address updated? Don't give them money because you are not able to provide the information they need to verify you are who you say you are?

I've worked costumer support for many years, and me and my supervisors would have rejected your request too. Since you can't provide what they want (not even a definite nickname wtf), you probably can't prove the purchase either.

Don't flame some poor support guy or a company, kick yourself in the ass for letting it slide for so long that you cant even remember the original nickname anymore and chalk it up as a learning experience - we've all been there.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Well then can we flame them (rockstar) for turning off Linux support on GTA V Online? I know the exact same anticheat works on linux, because I am playing Dune online and it’s working just fine. So yeah, back to that, fuck rockstar!

Wildmimic,

yeah, that's a flameable offense, i agree.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Thanks. I was pretty bummed when they flipped that switch.

crx, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

Exact same for me but an Ubisoft game linking my Steam account to a long gone email address of a long gone Ubisoft account.

Absolutely hopeless customer support saying there is no possible way for them to help me.

Good thing I wasn’t planning on buying any Ubisoft game ever again, problem pretty much sorted itself out.

Yeah this is the cancer that is email 2FA.

Unfortunately email is the only way they have to verify your identity. No email, no account. But this is very much not exclusive to Rockstar.

I changed my email a couple of years ago and it's absolutely astonishing how many companies are completely unequipped to deal with someone changing or deleting their email account.

chicken,

Unfortunately email is the only way they have to verify your identity. No email, no account.

That isn’t really true, I’ve restored access to multiple game accounts before in situations where I lost access to my email, it mostly involved providing information about the account that only the person using it would know, like the names of characters on it and some other stuff. If a company can’t handle this it’s because they don’t want to pay for competent customer support workers and just rely entirely on lazily coded automated systems.

artyom,

Yes, it is the lazy way to secure accounts. No defense there.

Nibodhika,

Yes, things like original email and Nickname are some of those questions because after they change the public might have no way of figuring it out. Notice the support tech asked for those informations and when provided with it he said that he couldn’t verify ownership, this means OP reported wrong information for the identifying questions.

I’m not saying the service is great, asking him to access an email he claims to have lost access is dumb, but everything after that the tech support person did his best, and I don’t think he should have disabled 2FA, since it could be a social engineering attack.

Oh, I see, didn’t read the second image at first

NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w Alternatives to Twitch and YouTube for livestreaming gaming?

What is your intent?

Do you just want to saturate your upload bandwidth for poops and giggles? Then consider just being That Guy who is constantly in one of the live channels on a community discord streaming everything to like 0.1 people per day.

Do you want to make a hustle out of this? Then your only real options are youtube or twitch and… discoverability is near zero for both of those. Even if you are one of the biggest streamers on the planet, convincing people to try a new platform is nigh impossible. Let alone for someone just starting out.

Death_Equity,

As a hustle, you should stream on Kick(10x the payout of Twitch) and then edit the vods into algorithm clips for YouTube and tiktok that would funnel to the Kick. You could multistream everywhere for maximum exposure, but that can get troublesome depending on how active chat is because you need to keep up and Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen.

These days it is really hard to get going in streaming and youtube, so you really just need to cast a wide net and really work on refining your content. It takes years to get a decent second income, unless a big streamer reacts to you and then you have to try and keep the new subs without turning away the OGs.

KIKILOVE,

Kick just got bad rep though with the dead streamer thing

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Also it is fronted by hate groups that scam children and backed by a crypto casino.

Kick is evil, through and through.

LiveLM,

Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen

I’ve always wondered, couldn’t you work around this by having a feed with only the twitch chat for Twitch, and a feed with all the chats for every other platform?
I think you can comfortably encode 2 streams on basically any modern-ish card no?

Death_Equity,

I’m no expert on the higher capabilities of multistream plugins and whatnot. I don’t think you could include twitch chat with the others if you are doing that sort of thing unless filtering chats to a given platform is an option with one instance. All the same, if you are handling the multistream locally you would want to do a dual PC setup if you are a game streamer. A lot of multistreamers use a relay service to reduce processing power while gaming.

You can multistream everything to everywhere with combined chat, but you have to sanitize the chat so it isn’t apparent that other platforms are combined or which chat is which if they are displayed separately.

If you wanted to you could host your own server with Owncast.

Owncast

I set one up on an old laptop and it worked well enough the few times a mucked around with it.

nutbutter, (edited )

I would rather host PeerTube. But I want to be a bit discoverable. With self-hosted solutions, I will have to promote myself by myself.

Edit - I just discovered owncast.directory. This changes everything.

PeerTube is unfortunately not terribly well configured for Livestreaming. There is a tremendous lag.

Why don’t you request a refund from Steam? If the game doesn’t work because they changed it then I want my money back.

Wynika to z tego, że protesty są bardzo mobilne właśnie ze względu na media społecznościowe. Dlatego w niektórych obszarach kraju rząd zdecydował się na wyłączenie internetu.

Moonbeam ( www.moonbeam.stream ) is currently in beta, but shows a lot of promise. Obviously, it’d be a smaller community though.

maxwells_daemon, (edited ) do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

Everyone in the comments making such a huge deal of account security when literally all Rockstar had to do was allow people to unlink their Steam accounts from Social Club. It could even be done in their own launcher, with the credentials of the Steam account that actually owns the game. Then people could just make a new Social Club account, it’s not worth shit anyways.

They’re locking people out of playing a local, offline game, over some decade old account that I used my spam email for, and now I’m supposed to remember it? Get a fucking grip bro.

millie, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

Have you tried using FiveM? Last I knew it didn’t require social club access.

What exactly happened that leads to your conclusion that none of your support requests are going through? And why was it not possible to continue the on-going support request that you showed in your screenshot?

MyNameIsAtticus, do games w Best Co-Op Games?
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I really enjoyed Console minecraft with my sister and friends growing up. Play the Wii U version (with CEMU) and get a ROM and you’re set.

Alternatively, can’t go wrong with early Lego Games. They’re basic and simple, but some of the most basic fun you can have too with another person.

Project Zomboid is also great for Co-Op. The controller controls are a little iffy depending on who you ask, but i like them.

bryndos, do games w Does a "SuperTuxKart Remastered" or similar exist?

Love playing SuperTuxKart. I love the ability to change game files to make it my own experience. I love the ability to download custom content through

Sounds like it is not broken, better fix it until it is.

Meh it's open source, fork it.
