stardust, 2 miesiące temu do gaming w From 4chan to the White House: James Ball explains how failing to take games seriously has fed the populist right

Woke became a simple label for people who blamed women and minorities for their entertainment not living up to their explanation. It became a label for them to use without specifically saying that they didn’t like depictions in the media they liked, which is a big reason they shy away from actually elaborating on what they mean by woke.

I thought it wasn’t necessarily due to a lack of attempt to reach them through games, but that they saw “woke” as a reason for why games or movies turned out bad.

So not necessarily a hey fellow kids we play games too, but outrage over the medium they like flopping or not turning out how they wanted.

Like the amount of right wing reviewers for Star Wars and so on blaming woke targetting for why their franchises turned bad, and turning it into a culture war.

Yeah I’ve used heroic launcher, but a native launcher is still preferred. I like the GOG launcher on windows.

Cloud saves, achievements, and tracking hours is something I do like. I have over a 100 GOG games, so individually managing exe files isn’t something I really want to do.

I think they can be used to reclaim your steam account if you lose access, so that’s why I like to keep mine. And it’s neat.

stardust, 5 miesięcy temu do games w How many games do you manage to play at the same time?

One story based game at a time to focus on that alongside a coop or pvp game like The Finals.

Yeah it’s the main reason I plan to play Half Life 1. I feel like I’ll be able to appreciate Black Mesa more if I go in with the background of Half Life 1 to see all the graphical improvements and work they put in to recreate levels.

I never played it but I haven’t played half life 1 yet either which I plan to do as my next game. I’ve only half life 2.

People don’t have to be forced to use GOG so there’s people that actually like them, and offering DRM free games with offline installers is pretty pro consumer.

stardust, 6 miesięcy temu do games w GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”

GOG has been closer to offering the more mainstream indies and big studio titles that interest me. I guess itch library doesn’t really appeal as often to my tastes.

You are just ignoring that the installers can be downloaded and saved. Or even just the game directory can continue to work.

For people who value that it is a difference. Even how the game works is different with how some don’t work offline or lose ability to function offline once verification expires compared to non DRM counterparts.

You are an idiot acting as if DRM and DRM free is the same as though some license terms is the only determining factor.

That GOG downloaded installers can’t be forcibly deactivated or taken away? Your phrasing is confusing so I don’t think people are able to tell whether you think GOG installers are a good or bad thing, or acting like it is useless and provides no further benefit than DRM alternatives.

Ummm… That’s the case for disc games too of only being able to retain possession once it’s shipped to you and you properly store it. Or any tangible good for that matter. I don’t what point you are trying to make.
