People tend not to click on links without info about what it is, so I’ll copy-paste the video description here:
Think “Diablo Lite meets Stardew Valley” and you’ve got a good starting point in mind for Emberville, the just-announced pixel-art action-adventure-RPG from developer Cygnus Cross. It features Doug Cockle (The Witcher series) and Alex Jordan (Cyberpunk 2077) as voice actors, and it’s due to be released in Early Access on Steam in Summer 2026.
Do you say the same for Epic Games Store exclusives?
The game was delisted from Steam right before GOG dropped this. I am not giving Ubisoft more money for Cold Fear. Since nobody can buy it on Steam anymore, there is no pro-consumer reason that the GOG fixes could not have been given to everyone that already owned the game on Steam as a free update.
Ubisoft wants me to buy the game I already own again. I am not doing that. I don’t care if 2% or whatever goes to GOG for their fixes. I know that more than 50% is going to Ubisoft.
Do you say the same for Epic Games Store exclusives?
Yes, actually. If they funded a game, like with Alan Wake 2, then whether or not they make it an EGS exclusive is their prerogative.

I disagree. GOG invested time and resources into patching the game. Tacking the word ‘pro-consumer’ in there means nothing. They’re a business. They shouldn’t be expected to give away their work for free to customers of a competing platform.
I don’t care if 2% or whatever goes to GOG for their fixes
That much is clear. You seem to want something for nothing. Pirate the GOG version if you’re so desperate to play without paying for the work that went into fixing it, but don’t frame it as some kind of pro-consumer protest.
gog has a bunch of tweaks for the stuff they host. I’m guessing it’s either a clause in the contract for their storefront, or this is a volunteer for the game preservation program.
They’ve done it forever, it’s been part of their initial concept for ages. Lots of the actual old games on there (as the name Good Old Games is derived from) are pre-patched to work on modern machines without setup, often also including community patches if there are any.
If you’re interested in a specific example, here’s an interview with their technical producer on how they updated and rereleased Alpha Protocol in 2024.
Before they even start on any technical work, the GOG legal team contacts the owners of the game they want to sell (e.g. SEGA, in the case of Alpha Protocol) and they negotiate a deal to update and distribute the game.
Things get complicated when a game has joint owners, or when it’s not clear who owns a game, but otherwise it’s as simple as that.
Praying that one day GOG can strike a deal with console owners to bring old abandoned game to PC. I know decompiles exist but you basically need to pirate the games to play them which is very inaccessible.
Yes Nvidia selling to these actual criminals is very unethical and also hostile to the American public. We should boycott them. Even if you can’t boycott every evil company if you boycott some it’s effective over years to wear away their reputation, and power.
How? They aren’t selling to us anymore, remember. They’re ramping down their consumer products because the AI specific products are more lucrative. Hell, not buying their consumer products just proves that point. We’re beyond fucked at this point.
They are still selling to you. 5090s “oh, they are back to MSRP again, buy buy buy!”, consoles that use them like the Nintendo Switch 2, etc. They are still selling to consumer markets, they just don’t want to sell to the markets that call them out on the monopolistic bullshit.
Now you have another reason not to buy NVIDIA: with the US being the corrupt hellhole that is now turning into an authoritarian regime and with them being willing to work with Palantir, it’s only a matter of time between the NVIDIA App software they force you to install becomes a surveillance tool. Because your private data is also much more profitable to them than you are, and they will get no legal backlash they won’t just inevitably be able to dismiss with just a slap on the hand.
They should have boycotted them during the RTX 50xx if they cared about boycotting. As it is, people who have continued to buy into them have helped finance their own irrelevance.
that’s the thing about FFXIV it’s always had great music in it. the Shiva fight still being my personal favourite. I don’t play the game anymore, last expansion really turned me off it, but I might pick it up again one day. It’s not bad, but it can get boring once you wrap up an expansion.
I played the old available build and, although the game is clunky and the soundtrack gets old fast, it’s still an incredible accomplishment and something the team should have been given the chance to be proud of.
