WatDabney, do games w Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

Which neatly sums up why I do not and will not even have a Steam account, but buy many games from GOG.

secret300,

Love gog but fuck them for spamming my email. I found out to claim the new games it’ll auto subscribe you to the news letter. So I stopped claiming the games. But still I get emails for promotions and crap. More annoying then freaking scam callers. I’ve unsubscribed every time I get one and stopped claiming free games. I’m so close to just cut my loses and delete my account but I feel like that still won’t stop those parasites

xapr,

How weird, I wonder if there’s something wrong with my GOG account? I don’t think I’ve received an email from them in years?

catloaf,

No, if you claim the giveaways you have to subscribe to their newsletter. That’s all. If you aren’t doing that, you’ll almost never get an email.

xapr,

I see, that makes sense. Thanks!

secret300,

Ye that’s why I stopped claiming games

You should not be getting promotional emails if you opt out, so something is wrong with your account/settings specifically. Contact them or filter your emails.

secret300,

That’s what I figured… Some bug on their end or something because every time I get one I unsubscribe. I plan to just delete my account and go back to a mix of pirating and steam

Blaiz0r,

You realise GOG sells DRM games right?

style99,

Like…?

DrSteveBrule,

I believe Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has DRM and is still sold on GOG.

style99,

Okay, let’s see

No mention of DRM in the reviews or anywhere in the forum…

No mention of DRM anywhere…

DrSteveBrule,

You’re right I was misremembering the reviews complaining about the UELA instead

narrator told me there’s a star—which might be a stone, which is also a goddess. A goddess of destruction, even! She’s bad, but she was shattered, and some people have pieces of her, which could be good—but maybe only if you’re bad?

Part of me wants to experience the shitshow first hand, seems like an absolute riot. Realistically tho, never happening, I’ll probably look up some gameplay video at some point.

ByteOnBikes,

Meh. I’ve played a few of these Korean MMOs when theyre brought over the States. I don’t mind them.

If I was a kid with unlimited time and no pocket money, they’d be amazing. Turn off world chat, ignore the micro transactions store, and it’s easily solid 10-15 hours of quality gaming. Some even have really high quality cinematics. Once Human is really polished and fun.

After 15 hours (and like every single MMO since forever), it becomes a slog. By that point, I usually jump back into a single player game.

Man, you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, much less its title, but when I heard “Throne and Liberty” for the first time, it immediately sounded like something lazily slapped together. I guess, it makes sense that specifically the localization is lazily slapped together.

I don’t know that I’d say that the scene looked good, exactly; it certainly looked expensive.

Lmao. Give this man a raise. His snark is on point.

Why won’t more reviews call shitty games, “pasghetti ass?”

Why do the worst games produce the most amazing reviews?

sp3tr4l,

… Its’s Big Whale Day!

Amazing.

Albbi,

I nudged my sliders until all the important factors—tear duct length, tear duct height, skin glossiness, etc—were where I needed them to be, and then hit the “randomize appearance” button a few times for good measure. Then, I booted my creation out the door and into life.

Did I write and publish it this while sleepwalking or something?

Nuke_the_whales, do gaming w Switch emulator Ryujinx goes offline due to pressure from Nintendo.

Why are people pretending Nintendo is the bad guy cause they shut down an emulator of their current gen console??

Skipcast,

Because emulators are entirely legal and doesn’t facilitate piracy on their own

Nuke_the_whales,

Wild claims with no sources. People who can run switch emulators are 1000% pirating games, don’t be obtuse.

And legal or not, if someone replicated a free version of your device, you’d be pissed too.

Rampsquatch,

1000%

Got a source for that wild claim?

Old_Yharnam,

Of course they dont, its a stupid claim

MajorasMaskForever,

Combination of anti large company sentiment + people feeling entitled to get things for free if I had to guess. It also usually feels wrong when a corporation threatens a lawsuit over a single person since the US court system heavily favors the person with more money and it’s probably a true statement to say that Nintendo has more resources than the lead dev.

Modern Vintage Gamer on YouTube had an interesting take in that by stifling emulator development now it will hurt the industry in the long run because Switch exclusives will become increasingly difficult to play once support ends (an argument I myself don’t find all that compelling)

Nerrel on YouTube has a well put together and researched video on emulation where at least in the US it’s been tested in court several times that emulators are legal, but obtaining the code for the emulators to run is almost always not since you usually have to make a copy and that violates the publisher’s right to copy

Old_Yharnam,

Its mostly for game preservation

Honestly I am tired of Nintendo I cant buy any games of them while they keep up this behavior this is unacceptable, at least for yuzu there was a minimal reasoning this is just a thread to begin with

I for one am a lifelong Nintendo customer that has finally decided to boycott them moving forward. Plenty of other companies to support.
