GammaGames, do gaming w EU court rules people can resell digital games

Interesting! I wonder how/if platforms will implement this, maybe my backlog will finally make me some money 😆

cyborganism,

Right??? There’s lots of games I own that I played through once or twice and will probably never play again. I was hoping something like this would come along someday.

Didnt read the article. Does this mean steam will have to give the option to sell games or would you have to sell the whole account?

can, (edited )

Edit: scratch that, someone paying more attention noticed the article cited is from 2012. There have probably been developments in the interim.

It’s unclear(PDF)

Where the copyright holder makes available to his customer a copy - tangible or intangible - and at the same time concludes, in return form payment of a fee, a licence agreement granting the customer the right to use that copy for an unlimited period, that rightholder sells the copy to the customer and thus exhausts his exclusive distribution right. Such a transaction involves a transfer of the right of ownership of the copy. Therefore, even if the licence prohibits a further transfer, the rightholder can no longer oppose the resale of that copy.

WarmSoda,

Looks like it’s individual games. But who knows how this’ll actually go down.

I wish so badly that this would come to the US… I have so many games I never play that I wish I could sell off

Edit: nevermind, guess it’s not real… sad

This article is based on an article from Eurogamer in 2012 [1].

There’re more recent similar rulings like in France in 2019 [2], but Valve already appealed. It will take many years until there’s a final decision.

What’s next!? Letting people return a game just because it’s trash?? What is this world coming to?

GataZapata, do gaming w Publishers need to stop announcing games that are still years away from launch, gamers agree

'Gamers agree' that would be a historical first lol

admiralteal,

One day news media will stop reporting "Large demographic group enraged!" by citing 2 posts on a random social media platform.

But only because no news media is left.

RoboRay, do gaming w 70 percent of gamers avoid certain games because of 'toxic communities', study finds
@RoboRay@kbin.social avatar

I avoid any fast-paced competitive game designed to appeal to 13 year olds with no attention spans and inferiority complexes.

CIWS-30,

Words to live by. Because even if they're not 13, they act like they're 13 basically forever. cough Elon Musk cough

Absolutely. I enjoyed playing a bit of Smite at one point in time (mostly that big open area map) and some Heroes of the Storm, but I'm not a big MOBA guy. Decided one day to give League of Legends a try, why the hell not ya know?

I have never been called a 'fucking fag' and been told to kill myself more times in a 5 minutes period of time in the entirety of my 40 years on this flying shitball of a planet. Not in public school, not on Xbox Live while playing Halo, not from my abusive family, never.

Uninstalled that shit 10 mins later and went back to TF2 where I get called that only once an hour.

That's why I liked hots, the capability to block chat from the start and for everyone.
It's not really a problem in non-competitive modes, as people usually just use on-map alerts.

Disabling voice/text chat is usually my first go-to with almost any online game cause of shit like this lmao.

i have a lot of fun playing valorant, but in order to preserve my sanity i immediately mute everyone and disable text chat whenever i join a game. if something is important, they can ping it. it makes me sad, because in my experience the valorant lobbies are a coin toss between the sweetest and goofiest people you'll ever meet online, or the most unhinged sociopathic 16-year-olds letting their life frustrations out on you.

i want to meet those sweet and goofy people and have fun with them, but i just can't be bothered sitting through 3/4 lobbies of toxicity until i find one with mentally stable people

flicker, do gaming w 70 percent of gamers avoid certain games because of 'toxic communities', study finds

I have the misfortune of being a woman, so I play absolutely zero things with voice. And when I was younger, I'd pick the most 'bro' username possible just to avoid the bullshit.

Now that I'm older I just refuse to play competitive games at all. Life is too short to be constantly insulted. (Like the above user, I played LoL maybe twice before uninstalling.)

They need to run peoples text through a sentiment analyzer and categorize players based on toxicity and group tiers of toxicity together. Maybe include tips on how to be a better human.

Big part of the reason why I enjoy cooperative games nowadays like Risk of Rain 2, Helldivers, Deep Rock Galactic, etc.

You can occasionally come across a toxic person, but the broader communities in said games are amazing on the whole.
