slauraure, do gaming w Modder behind the 'Swiss army knife of PC gaming' deletes their 20 year-old Steam account with anti-Valve manifesto: 'By the end of my bitter dealings with Valve… there was zero hope'

There is a valid argument against the DRM being that your ancient air-gapped system should be able to run the game still but can’t run the DRM due to the requirements changing after the point of purchase. Perhaps there is a discussion to be had about whether DRM should be removed once you change the system requirements drastically, but this feels like a rare circumstance.

The simple solution is to get DRM-free copies from GOG where possible. Archive the installers if you’re worried about future compatibility. That way you can have a nostalgic Windows 98 machine or whatever that only plays games and won’t bug you with random unprovoked changes and updates from day to day.

mohab, do games w Romero Games reportedly met with Microsoft just a day before the publisher pulled funding for the studio, and there was 'no mention' of the decision that put over 100 people out of work

The Mafia shit continues with no repercussions because governments nowadays are by the corporations and for the corporations.

Daft_ish, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

People vote for this guy.

SCmSTR,

This guy unfortunately and unironically exists and likely has more power than anybody on the fediverse.

First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.

SincerityIsCool, do games w There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps

I tried it out to see how it was coming along a year or so ago. It made Kenshi look polished.

Blackmist, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

Yes, that’s why they’re at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I’m sure they’d get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.

harrys_balzac, do games w I played Lovecraftian doctor simulator Do No Harm, and let me tell you, my brother in Cthulhu, I did some serious harm

Lovecraftian doctor simulator? I guess I’ll read the article. My interest is piqued.

Gronk, do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

Probably a good time to start up a rival mod site that every one will flock too after these guys backpedal on their word.

Something synonymous with Nexus… CapitalMods anyone?

ijedi1234,

I miss Filefront.

SweetCitrusBuzz, do gaming w Byond game engine suffers a weeks-long DDoS attack, apparently because a wanna-be Bond villain is trying to force it to go open source: 'Attacks on Byond servers are a symptom of your obstinance'
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.

MouldyCat,

“We demand you voluntarily side with progress”

They have an interesting concept of voluntary to be sure

Wow, yeah.

saigot,

I would be on board if they also hit unity or unreal but that is probably not really possible. As it is its really just feeding into monopolies.

fuzzywombat, do games w Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets

This is fourth time a confirmed plagiarism occurred at Bungie in recent years. There is also an ongoing lawsuit over accusation of Red War story theft. This isn’t some lone rogue employee issue. It’s a company culture issue originating from the top. I think Sony needs to step in and clean house to address the systemic problem.

funkless_eck,

Sony exec: I have a fever and the only antidote is more micro transactions

SmoothOperator, do games w The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy has 100 endings, and it's pushing the creators to the brink of bankruptcy | PC Gamer

The game is The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy

sirico, do games w After getting Stardew Valley to 'a good place' with update 1.6, Eric Barone is now fully focused on his next game

X for doubt it’s become such an amazing project for him and us. He must still have plenty of ideas even now

JokeDeity, do gaming w Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO

My friends and I can always find 50 other apps for voice chatting, texting and screen sharing. What pisses me off royally is the thousands of companies/groups that decided instead of making forums or websites or GitHub pages, they would just host EVERYTHING from within Discord’s walled garden.

@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

The thing is that discord has fostered fantastic communities in the way that forums never could have. I have personally witnessed no less than 5 communities that are thriving due to primarily using discord. Their forums were an utter shit show.

The fact that you can’t seem to understand why people have done this means that you do not understand the fundamental issue at hand.

JokeDeity,

Wild response. Why don’t you kindly suck both my dick and my balls?

@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

Yes… mY rEsPoNsE was “wild”. Ok dude.

Zetta,

While it sucks for us users, I do hope discord will continue to get more and more shit and force these losers who chose to host documentation on Discord to rethink their choices.

Moving towards becoming a shit company, you mean.

stopforgettingit, do games w PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now

I am on a 6 year old computer playing 10 year old games. I don’t see a need to upgrade anytime soon.

HiroProtagonist,

I do hate being in the never ending upgrade cycle but the 10 year old games are limited, at least the ones I like to play.

Retropunk64,

I’m on a 5 year old computer playing 20-30 year old games. I’m good over here. 😂

stopforgettingit,

I bet WoW runs like a dream on that machine 😂

Retropunk64,

I haven’t tried it! That would be like giving a reformed crack addict a hit off the pipe. 😂 No way can I ever even consider going back to that game.

stopforgettingit,

If it makes you feel better, it will never be the same as it was when you first played. Every time there is a xpac that looks interesting I have tried and failed to get that feeling back. It devolves very quickly into feeling like a job again.

Retropunk64,

I just feel bad for my gnome warlock, endlessly flying around in purgatory on his magic carpet…
