theneverfox, do games w Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

I think you’re going about this wrong. You need to represent this as a potential legal issue so they pass it off to the legal department, who will then do things to cover their ass

You don’t want to threaten, just make it legalese enough to make customer support get nervous. Something like citing GDPR sections and expressing your concerns that they have not properly complied with your legally mandated request, then officially requesting all data they still have on you and citing that section of law

I did that in my communications to their support staff.

I’ve also attempted to contact their legal dept directly with no luck.

Smart…well damn, if they’re that blasé about it I’d consider it a public service to escalate. You could contact Microsoft’s legal department, they might take it more seriously

You could also reach out to an organization like the ACLU in your country, they may or may not do anything with it, but they’ll probably make note of it at least. It could push them to take action in the future

I’ve reached out to the ICO, hadn’t thought about it but I suppose I could try MS legal as well. Good idea

FWIW, I respect you for going this far, and doing so intelligently. It might just be a little thing, but it’s fighting for your rights. Every inch matters, because they’ll take them all from us if they can

I sat with 2mbps for a couple of years. It was quicker to unplug and take my XB to my parents house an hour away to download anything!

Keep the faith, I get 400mbps now and all I had to do was be a little patient, move to a different county and get into crippling debt.

But those download times 🤤

wow 400 🤯 most ive ever had was 200 but mine hovers around 90 now when it doesnt randomly stop

Thing is after a certain point I can’t even tell the difference any more. I feel like the downloads are throttled from Microsoft’s side so I never quite get the full whack.

  • Final Fantasy 7 Remake
  • DOOM + DOOM 2 (the old games)
  • Psychonauts 2
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance
  • Command & Conquer Remasted Collection
  • Halo - Master Chief Collection

Currently playing FF7 Remake for the first time, as a huge fan of the original. The other games I purchased is to make the pile of shame bigger and to play when I have some time – I’m not ashamed! For some reason I did not have the original DOOM games on Steam; this was the perfect opportunity.

Good buys… Cities:Skylines is great, but need some DLC for a good game experience… Vanilla version of game is poor in content. Europa Universalis IV is a good game. You have a game for many hours and many DLC too…

Gearbits Mafia Trilogy Dave the Diver

I’m enjoying the hell out of Gearbits. It’s an indie mech shooter with Gundam aesthetics and fast-paced action like Armored Core for a base price of only $10.

ACG review.

TL;DW He enjoyed that game but there were enough technical issues so just be aware of the limitations of the game and your rig.

So its actually good? Honestly surprised. The devs haven’t been canned either?

9cpluss,

Same here. I thought it was going to be mediocre at best. Still not interested but happy for the people who like such games.

I thought it was going to be mediocre at best.

I fully expect it to be a mediocre shooter with some good environmental puzzles and nice graphics, Starfield had 85+/100 reviews before coming out. We’ll find out once it actually releases, in two years with all of the hypothetical DLC included for 15€. Bethesda can fuck right off with their 50€ offerings.

Spuddlesv2,

The devs haven’t been canned YET.

Grass,

I’ve had this thought that game devs should plant killswitches in their games so if they get mass lay offs the game just stops working and displays messages presented as being from the parent company that tell the user they are banned, and for the most idiotic reasons.

Realistically though if the game is successful by any metric a hacker or dataminer will find it first or it will be abused in some other way.

I’m surprised that folks here were surprised that the people behind those Wolfenstein games would make a good game.

inclementimmigrant,

Because we’ve seen time and time again where good devs go bad. Especially when they get bought out.

It was worse before the buyout, when Zenimax had an initiative to make everyone make live service games even when it was clearly a bad idea.

I got Cities and the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy (with all DLC) for $13

Just so PC owners are aware, it’s been confirmed that early access will not contain full ray tracing option.

I am very interested in how well various cards will handle the ready tracing options.

I think it’s interesting to look back at other game reviews. You sort of see how much they matter. lemm.ee/post/6176552

Let people enjoy their games

More power to them, I’ll stick to my hobby of schadenfreude while AAA burns.

Who’s stopping anyone from enjoying their games?

That’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw the scores, I’m not reading reviews of Bethesda’s games other than players’ reviews on Steam.

Baldur’s Gate 3 coop, we’re in Act 2. For some reason, my friend started a fight, inside the throne room at Moonrise Towers, while surrounded by 20 enemies, half HP and no spells. We died, and because he hadn’t saved in an hour, we have to do some stuff again.

Then I finished the Solasta: Crown of the Magister - Palace of Ice DLC. It’s definitely the weakest campaign for me (base game and two DLC). The final dungeon was also pretty disappointing, but I liked the very final decision you had to do.

Then I started the Baldur’s Gate - Siege on Dragonspear DLC. I played the base game a year ago for the first time, and I think the game didn’t age well at all, and this DLC doesn’t improve things. I’m close to the end, but I really don’t like how it’s playing out right now, and I don’t care about the story at all.

The SoD expansion was made by Beamdog some 15 years after BG1 was released. It’s admirable that they tried getting the original voice actors back, but otherwise the team behind BG 1&2 (and ToB) had nothing to do with it. I couldn’t get through it, and I have a hard time supporting the Enhanced Editions as is due to Beamdog inserting their fanfiction into them as well - though I recognise they’ve been instrumental in revamping the engine and bringing the games to a new generation of people.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah, I knew it was released later and that at least the Steam Reviews are only mixed. Still, I didn’t think it would be such a waste of time.

I would say definitely worth the 2 bucks. I wanted something I could play without having to pay attention to story, so it seems to fit the bill pretty well.
