Commiserate friend. Lost Planet 2 is an all time game for me and Capcom unceremoniously delisted it and went quiet in plans to restore it after GFWL removal. After treating it like shit for 3 they binned it. Pains me
They are pointing out that there’s loads of good games on Steam that don’t cost $80, given the prevalence of such good games there really isn’t justification for that price point.
The picture shows that a game that is yet to be released (I actually thought it was already out but apparently not) is only £35 ($45) If you want the bundle which gives you two games it’s only an extra £1
Personally I’m not that interested in snow runners it just seems like an infuriating game, but the fact that you can get it for virtually nothing is interesting.
The minefield has been cleared. You fence of the remaining space with appropriate warning signs. Once the marked sights are disarmed the area can again be made available to the public and the nation can begin to heal.
Yeah, I’m not sure about the mechanics, but I’m sure plenty of palms are greased to keep gas prices low. It’s one of the things people like to blame on the president.
my understanding is that games like this have to track your location and store that location history for obvious reasons. I think Pokémon go was bought by Saudi Arabia or something like that, and that made me wary. what is your plan for protecting and anonimizing this data, and are you planning to sell it to third parties?
otherwise, I’m a huge fan of games like mindustry on android
I’m a big privacy advocate, and my personal devices and home network reflect that. Which really brings me to a difficult crossroads here.
I don’t have a good answer for you right now, the best I have are the problems I’m trying to balance:
Anticheat: How do detect and build better detection for location spoofing? This, intrinsically, requires the recording of directly associated location data. And the collection of mass anonymized data in order to determine “what looks normal”, to spot abnormal (spoofing) behavior. How can I balance this against privacy concerns? It’s a rough one for sure.
This is the toughest one here. Likely I’ll need a combination of data retention periods and anonymization. At the very least sensitive data is separated from the rest of the game data, and is encrypted at rest. Likely there are clever protocols and solutions already out there I just don’t know about yet that can improve protections here.
Audit Logs: When a player performs an action that interacts with a location-based feature, where they where when that action was performed it is stored alongside the audit log of that action. This ties in closely with Anticheat, and also enables pattern matching to try and find oddities (exploits, cheating, bugs, and other problems).
Right now these stay around forever, and can be used to simulate the global game state at any point in the past (really REALLY useful for debugging problems, especially when you don’t have a good repro). Eventually such state should make granular rollbacks possible in case of exploits or rampant cheating. (A game where you have to physically go somewhere to capture a mine means rollbacks have a crazy high cost, making them granular is pretty important)
Analytics and Telemetry: Location data isn’t in use here right now. And I don’t see how it would be while also respecting privacy.
Selling the data: 😂😂😂 I’d rather light my servers on fire than stoop to that level.
It’s not finished yet but OpenXray Gunslinger is probably going to be a better STALKER: Call of Pripyat remaster than the official one that just got announced.
Super Mario Bros. X is a Mario fan-game remake that uses lots of assets from the SNES era of Mario games (Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario RPG).
Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a Sonic fan game made from the Doom engine, inspired by the Sega Genesis era of Sonic games.
Sorry it was very unclear. I’ve meant to focus this list on Remakes/source Ports of PC Games mostly. I added a link to a list of console games source Ports at the end of the list.
