PCs more hassle to update and maintain.

That’s Windows, not PCs in general. Steam Deck is an example of a PC system done right where the OS just works and tinkering is optional.

I would be a thousand times happier in a world without consoles. Games are published everywhere, and “consoles” are just prepackaged PCs from Microsoft or Sony for people who do not want to build a PC themselves

What do you think current PS and Xbox consoles are? They are all just PC hardware with each a custom OS as differentiating feature. A world in which everything has to run Windows is definitively much worse than the current state.

Well, now they’ll be reviewing a fully Denuvo’ed copy, so the version actual buyers get to play.

I’ve read somewhere else a couple of days ago that the official explanation is that without the public servers being live, reviewers would not get the full experience.

Not defending WB (I’m not interested in that game at all), just giving context.

Now also make it illegal to sell physical copies of games that need day 0 patches/downloads to make them work.

“Sorry customers, we’re no longer selling physical releases. Court mandated that, our hands are tied.”

All the “it’s not yet polished because it’s Early Access but it’ll be great on release” apologists are silenced.

At least it’s out already. Doesn’t help anyone if a game is in Early Access development hell forever.

Honest question: how did you manage to find out about Lemmy and sign up on a Lemmy server and not know what Steam is and how to play Steam games?

Plus it works so smoothly I never even think of it as DRM

AFAIK SteamWorks DRM is something developers have to actively implement in their games. From what I understand, by default Steam is merely a delivery system without DRM.

If it’s denuvoed you’ll have to wait for the crazy bigot Empress to crack it. Could be a while.

30 seconds of googling revealed that someone already packaged the Switch version for PC with a preconfigured emulator.

The moment I heard the new Prince of Persia had Denuvo, I wasn’t going to play it anyway.

It mandates a Ubisoft account everywhere anyway. Apparently on Switch in airplane more is the only way to circumvent this.

I’ve been boycotting Ubisoft for years, haven’t missed a damn thing.

Yeah, there are so many great games by non-shitty developers. Skipping Ubisoft, EA, and Activision entirely is not only possible but there are more great games left than one can play anyway.

Why is steam the only acceptable DRM?

Because it’s optional and if opted in, works offline.

woelkchen, rok temu do games w Microsoft Confirms Plans To Release Xbox First Party Games “Across All Platforms”, Including PlayStation

Looks like Microsoft is now entirely focusing on selling games rather than selling Xbox.

If that were true, they would have discontinued Xbox already. You are falling for their lie that they aren’t trying to lock people into a closed ecosystem.

Sega fired a bunch of people at Relic this year, like everybody else, so what would have been better is very much up for debate.

Microsoft shut down the entire Ensemble studio, the original creator of AoE. Internal game development at Microsoft is bad.
