Caligvla, do games w Last Epoch - Meet Diablo 4 and Path of Exile's biggest rival, an ARPG designed and built by Redditors
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

From what I’ve heard Last Epoch is a good game, but you’re not really doing it any favors by saying “made by redditors”.

manapropos,

That bit makes me think the game is chock full of millenial writing

conciselyverbose,

Holy shit that borderlands 3 "turn the generator on" quote nails why I struggle to push through for the really fun gunplay half the time. They really do just vomit words at you.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

That was amazing. Thank you for linking it.

MonkCanatella,

It’s so funny how people who have no idea about linguistics/communications have such strong know-it-all attitudes about how people communicate. Remember the phenomenon of vocal fry? All the youtube vids like “i discovered this thing that millennial wimmin do and once you notice you’ll HATE IT.” and they just describe vocal fry which is just an absolutely normal part of speech and done by men just as much as women.

sugar_in_your_tea, do games w Only Up, one of 2023's biggest Twitch games has been removed from Steam, due to developer's stress

I don’t really understand the decision here, wouldn’t it be better to just put out a notice saying that it won’t see any more updates, discount it, and then move on? A lot of people like it, so I doubt it would require any real work.

Then again, if the OP actually did steal assets, I can understand taking it down to limit liability.

Even if they didn’t steal assets, a copyright suit is a massive pita to defend against

sugar_in_your_tea,

Created by SCKR Games, Only Up was previously removed from Steam amid accusations of copyright violations connected to various in-game assets

It was already removed for that. I’m just wondering if the accusations weren’t satisfactorily resolved, or if this is something different entirely.

Either way, it’s up to them, but I just think it’s a little odd. It seems like a great game for getting some residual income from.

ech,

They’re the developer, or “dev” if you prefer. OP doesn’t make any sense here.

I wonder why he removed it instead of just leaving it there as is and not updating it anymore.

The game’s Only Up. Seriously, fuck these clickbait titles.


To all the OPs out there: You don’t have to copy the title verbatim, you can make it easier for your fellow Lemmings by making it less clickbait.

That’s a my bad of not noticing the title, let lemmy generate the titles and do some minor editing but I miss this.

jws_shadotak, do games w Only Up, one of 2023's biggest Twitch games has been removed from Steam, due to developer's stress

The game is Only Up, which is like a 3D version of Getting Over It.

CluckN, do games w Only Up, one of 2023's biggest Twitch games has been removed from Steam, due to developer's stress

Reminds me of when the Flappy Bird dev removed his game for similar reasons. At least they made a boatload of money.

I’m actually quite surprised that nobody has stumbled across that 2014 “Moonlight Jelly” and discovered it was his bandcamp. This is a trove of 2010s vaporwave that I’m glad to have on my radar now!

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE, do games w Stardew Valley creator shares old music, says it may be in new game

I’d be totally OK with some of the songs from SDV making an appearance in the new game. SDV’s music was so relaxing and it fit the game perfectly.

jray4559, do piracy w Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer”
@jray4559@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It is bad for the consumer… but the alternative is instant cracks, as seen with a lot of games on r/Crackwatch that don’t have the DRM.

Denuvo is the first software in a long time that has been able to successfully stop the supposedly inevitable march to cracking. It’s a miracle that more AAA devs don’t use it, since it works so well. (EMPRESS aside)

You can hate me all you want for saying this, but the war against piracy, for the most part, has been won.

Basically lit the fuse to keep people pirating…

Oha, do games w Denuvo and DRM punish the consumer, legendary PC developer says

rws my beloved

Flax_vert, do piracy w Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer”

I think the best way is to just have basic piracy detection, if someone trips it, then have a message that you can get past appearing guilt tripping them for it lmao

CluelessDude,

Back to OG times in gaming where you would have stupid hats saying pirate or other weird things happening in game like not being able to complete it if it was cracked, good times.

azerial, do piracy w Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer”

Even the devs hate denuvo. It slows down the build times and makes it hard to debug.

    Again, the developer chooses to work with these publishers beforehand, right?

    have you ever been employed anywhere in your life? have you ever had to pay bills, rent?

    gjghkk,

    Yes, of course. But what has that anything to do with employees? Developers are not employees, they are the developing company.

    Clever_Clover,
    @Clever_Clover@hexbear.net avatar

    what? that’s just false, developers are people, they are employed to develop the game, usually their employer is the game studio.

    s0ykaf,
    @s0ykaf@hexbear.net avatar

    i think what he means is that the “developer” has the power because he “develops” the games and without him the games can’t be “developed”

    it’s a silly way of mistaking a role for the individual that fulfills it. the role is necessary… not that particular individual

    Fraylor,

    What is it with clowns like this digging their heels in and blaming literally anything but the precious MBAs that are plaguing and ruining literally everything about modern society.

    Piers,

    In the comment you replied to they meant video game development companies by “developers” not the individual employees at those companies who do the actual work of developing games. Typically the actions of video game development companies are driven by the MBAs who have most of the big picture decision making power rather than the individual employees who develop the games.

    Spore,

    the developer chooses to work with these publishers beforehand

    What kind of paradise are you living in?

    gjghkk,

    The developer company has a choice. They rather maybe not prefer it, but that’s what it is. But saying the word “hate” is wrong.

    kebabslob,

    Bruh… Developing is a job. Hello? You ever have a job before? The developers don’t just work for there selves? Knock knock who’s there? Oh nobody, just, ya know a BOSS… Ya mighta heard of it? No, I don’t mean the movie Boss Baby

    Piers,

    Everyone in this thread is failing to understand that “developers” in this context can mean both “people who develop videogames” and “businesses that develop videogames.” As the people who develop videogames are not always the ones who make decisions like this at businesses that develop videogames those two different things that everyone is using the same word for often have opposing positions on the matter.

    altima_neo,
    @altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

    Lol what

    In most cases, the studios that can afford denuvo are also owned by the publisher. Like Sega, ea, and Activision.

    Clever_Clover,
    @Clever_Clover@hexbear.net avatar

    so whenever your boss tells you to do something you think is not the correct course of action you just quit right? you just leave your job without having another one lined up and probably risk losing your home, all because your boss told you to this thing you find annoying, you don’t have a choice to work or not work, the choice is to work or starve, which is not a choice.

    gjghkk,

    Hating is a strong word. Dislike, maybe.

    Clever_Clover,
    @Clever_Clover@hexbear.net avatar

    even if they do hate it and consider it to be the work of the devil, they still don’t really have a choice, game development is a really competitive industry, if devs aren’t leaving their jobs when the studio makes them overwork 80 hour work weeks right before release for a month in order to hit the deadline then they’re definitely not leaving just because they hate having to implement denuvo.

    s0ykaf,
    @s0ykaf@hexbear.net avatar

    but it’s not like they had a gun on their head.

    they do have a metaphorical gun in the form of bills that need to be paid…

    gjghkk,

    It’s still a choice. I have been on the bad end of these deals and I just said no. I was fired and all.

    I don’t think they hate it, they just not prefer it. But saying the word “hate” means that it is their line that they won’t cross, which is false.

    @Mars@beehaw.org avatar

    So why would anyone hate Denuvo? Nobody is forcing you to play Denuvo-using games. It was your choice.

    hex,

    Nah the Devs definitely get forced to use Denuvo by corporate… Stockholders and such. Denuvo gets advertised as the best anti piracy method and stockholders see that and say I want that in our game.

    azerial,

    Not if you work for a massive publisher.

    edit: or if you publish under one. It’s likely in your contract. Devs really don’t want to use it, but they are required to do so.
