slimerancher, w Starfield Paid DLSS Mod Creator Hits Back at Pirates, Threatens to Add 'Hidden Mines' in Future Mods
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Why is everyone angry that he is going to add some kind of anti-theft in his product?

abraxas,

Several reasons.

  • Paying customers are footing the bill for that anti-theft
  • The guy is making over $500k off someone else’s product with a couple days’ work. I’m no Tankie, but you don’t have to be a high schooler or a pothead to have a problem with capitalism’s more toxic extremes. People have been conditioned to forget this, but piracy is a counter-leverage to prevent product pricing from going out of control. Just look at the average prices of Switch games vs PC games. The harder it is to pirate a product, the further the price of that product is from a value consensus.
  • These types of anti-thefts tend to false-fire for the paying customers (who footed the bill). This is especially true because he builds his mods against a closed-source product that behaves in ways he cannot always predict. Published modding interfaces are never perfect.

Thanks for the response. While I don’t really agree with all these points, but at least I can understand that. So, thanks!

Fraylor,

Then why not just open with “I’m ignorant” instead of whatever it is you’re bothering to try and say?

A_Random_Idiot,

Have you ever tried not being a cunt?

Fraylor,

Have you?

A_Random_Idiot,

An actual, serious “No, you!”

Oh my god I dont need to be laughing this hard before bed. How fuckin sad.

Fraylor,

Okay pal, sweet dreams internet warrior.

“product”

The real value of the “product” was done by (m/b)illion dollar investments by Nvidia and game companies facilitating support for FSR or alternate upscalers. His “product” takes a few days to implement and others are able to offer the same “product” for free.

He is making a ridiculous amount of money considering the amount of work required and feels like an insult to modders who actually spend hundreds of hours tinkering and publishing their work for free. He already makes more than he deserves on patreon, why is he so sensitive about others pirating it.

Sweet. The first one was way more enjoyable than I initially thought. Wonder if they’d do a Sigils of Elohim-like app again.

The first one was So good! This is great news.

Has there ever been a good game that took over a decade to develop?

theragu40,

Not many. Mother 3 and Metroid Dread maybe. I also thought Psychonauts 2, but turns out that was probably more like 8 years.

Borkingheck, w EA Sports has delisted its FIFA back catalogue from digital storefronts

How does pirating fifa go given much of the appeal is online play and that card aspext of the game?

HidingCat,

Probably not, and also why the delisting might not be that big a deal. The whales were always going to get the newest version anyway.

baatliwala,

Or just ignore everything and play career mode if you have any self respect.

XTornado,

The security was shit on some editions. There was one,that you could close the prompt for CD key in a way and just play online with a pirated copy.

Plus idk I haven’t played a lot but to me single player against the machines was enjoyable, well tl be fair I didn’t have much people to play with plus I am terrible at it so maybe that’s why.

Well no shit… maybe if your offshoot game was on the same platform as your game… where your playerbase is.

He’s not wrong.

CaptainEffort,

Nearly all of Sony’s biggest AAA games started in the PS4 generation less than a decade ago

‘Most publishers are riding the success of franchises created 10+ years ago’

Keyword is “Most”.

CaptainEffort,

Is it most? It’d at the very least be close

dudewitbow,

Its mixed, naughty dog tends to have new, while technically speaking, God of War and Spiderman is considered old IP in the case for Sony.

The statement is nostly true for Nintendo, as the only new IP for Nintendo that went anywhere was Splatoon, and Ring Fit to some extent. While ips like Arms, Boxboy, Astral Chain, Ever Oasis, Sushi Striker fell out of relevance.

Making a new IP tends to end up in failure.

natryamar,

I’m sad they shuttered Japan studios

I love how they use a pic of an Overwatch loot box, literally the only loot box I actually miss 😅

We remember it with fondness, and yet, it was the lootbox that started it all.

Good riddance.

ReeferPirate, (edited )

I was absolutely opening CS:GO boxes when Overwatch was on its way to release

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

True enough. But Overwatch was the first big game where they basically got completely ignored as an exploitative mechanic on PC.

Micro-transactions were for a long time mobile only, then it was free-to-play only.

Remember, OW was a full-price title. Yet, it still worked like a free-to-play.

kaitco, w New PS5 Owners Can Currently Claim a Free Game - IGN

Let’s say I’ve got a friend who bought a PS5 back in March, and this friend decided that she wanted to take part in this giveaway.

What are the pros and cons of this friend purchasing a new PS5, getting her free game (possibly Ghosts of Tsushima), and then returning the PS5 afterward? Because this sounds like a savings of $70 or so once it’s all done…for my friend.

aaronstc,

If this is tied to your PSN there is a good chance it won’t work even if you register a new console. They’ll see you already had a PS5.

$70 sounds like a lot but probably not worth the potential headache.
