the first Lara was unapologetically an asshole. she lived in a mansion that most world leaders can’t have in their dreams. it’s not like she was stealing out of necessity. she had a fucking butler and still went out to disturb world heritage sites and steal or destroy everything in them. just for fun.

The most knowledgeable IT people have the least IOT devices in their house.

Pilferjinx,

That doesn’t include bt does it? I try to keep the things that connect to the internet to a minimum. Computer, phone, tablet, steam deck.

18107,

A lot depends on how you use it and how accessible it is to the outside internet.

I have a few smart devices, but they are all controlled locally. If my internet connection stops working, I still have full control of everything. I also have manual options in case my home network stops working.

Not advice, do your own research: I don’t see a big problem it Bluetooth. It can be hacked, but the person hacking has to be near you. That alone protects you from about 8 billion people.

Rolive,

I’m not particularly knowledgeable about IT but I avoid IoT like the plague. Everything should run locally and if I want to control it from away I’ll use a VPN to home.

Eh. I’m pretty deep in IT but have a boatload of IoT. Though I admit the few that are WiFi enabled are mostly blocked from internet access.

18107,

If you’re technically minded, you can do some amazing things with Home Assistant and IOT devices.

Haha that’s exactly what I do. 99% is local, the 1% is either “off site” in such a way it can’t be moved local, or I’m moving it to a local solution when possible.

Shanmugha, do games w The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact

Developer choice, ha-ha, very funny. I am not familiar with the industry and still feel safe to bet most of them (edit: actual software developers making games) just want to get enough money for doing what they can do without too much stress/disgust and also most of them don’t have a desire to see their work die just because some manager decided it is time to make some other games instead

echodot,

I bet they’re really pissed off with ubisoft right now. They basically started this whole movement by being so egregious with The Crew. Less than a month before they shut the servers down the game was still on sale for the full price that it had launched with.

Granted it was shut down because it was the most mediocre game ever made but that still isn’t an excuse.

Nikls94,

Tbh when I read of it, being an open world driving game where you can just drive around a very large area, I kind of wanted it. Not as a game, but simply for driving around. MarioKart is too happy for that. I just want to get lost in thoughts while driving.

RedAggroBest,

Gran Turismo has similar stuff and is just better as a driving sim game.

baatliwala,

Forza Horizon is good for that experience

I hear thats what European Truck Simulator 1, 2, and American truck simulator are excellent for. Driving around on long roads with meditative scenery.

I don’t know why these companies think they can talk their way out of this. No one is buying your BS. Just STFU.

creamlike504,

It’s to give talking points to the politicians they paid for.

daniskarma,

They can and they will just lobby commission or EU Parliament if needed.

nucleative,

Do you mean Buying = believing Or Buying = buying

Because I think the real problem here is that people actually are buying=buying and that’s why they keep doing it.

Let them try. Most game will utterly fail with that approach and I would love to see that.

I always wondered why there are weapons and health packs lying around in unexplored caves.

affiliate,

because people already took all the weapons and health packs that were in the explored caves

JCpac,

I want to argue with this, but it makes too much sense

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds,

that’s how you prepare an expression. she’s a professional

cdf12345,

I wondered the same about underground candles that are always lit?

Then I found out it’s cannon in doom

AstroLightz, do games w For people who want to play their favorite games but are unable to, what are you currently doing?

When I was in a situation where I couldn’t play any games I wanted, I would watch no commentary, 100% playthroughs of my games so I could see all the content they have.

Yes, it’s not the same as actually playing it, but it’s better than not ever seeing what the game is about.

The spin of it being positive for indie is absurd. Indie thrives on PC, not Xbox.

To be fair (and I used to like the gamepass. I recently started to change my mind on that) the PC offer for gamepass is better and less expensive than the XBOX

For a regular person, maybe, but archeologists deal with dinosaur stuff all the time.

The objects uncovered by archeologists are sometimes remarkably well-preserved. A joyous event for every scientist!

Klear,

Dinosaurs belong in a museum!

You are close. It’s true, it’s nothing in your inventory right now. But you are thinking in the right direction.

Whenever a large games company talks about “developer choice” you know they’re referring to one of a few things:

  1. Think of the shareholders!
  2. Think of the rich CEO who adds zero value to the company!
  3. The people don’t know what they want and therefore we need to tell them exactly what they want and need!

This has been so obvious from the beginning, and now that it’s too late is when they starting to complain.

This initiative sure would make things more complicated for the game publishers, yes.

Because they’re currently not doing the bare minimum.

If they weren’t so accustomed to not doing the bare minimum, maybe they would have different opinions! Just saying.

Edit: Just signed the petition. Didn’t think this was necessary before because, as soon as I heard of it, Finland was already top of the list percentage wise. But I did sign it, just for the hell yeah of it.

Klear,

It’s not just for the hell of it!

Invalid votes will be removed when it’s time for the final tally, so the initiative needs a solid buffer to still he over a million after.

There’s been a talk of some people using bots to inflate the numbers in a misguided attempt to help the initiative, so every vote is still very welcome.

Also, I kinda want to see just how high Finland can go above the threshold.

Tell your friends!

Duamerthrax,

I wouldn’t be surprised if the game industry isn’t also using bots to inflate the numbers to make people procrastinating not feel the need to contribute and make the petition look less valid.

Klear,

Eh, doubtful. The initiative got a shitton of extra coverage as it was nearing/reached the goal. They would have preferred if it went a lot slower.

Duamerthrax,

Major game publishers aren’t known for their good ideas.

andxz,

I agree wholeheartedly and I also signed late while being Finnish.
