HidingCat, w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

Loved the RPS interview with him. Went all out to confront him.

Ascyron,

Holy shit I just read it and… Wow. I am never, ever, ever in my life buying a game that Peter Molyneux has involved in.

satrack,

That was a trainwreck, Holy shit

MrScottyTay,

The People Make Games interview is interesting too

nicman24, w Doom Eternal has Denuvo DRM removed

huh that is weird, it worked great on my hardware. never would have guessed it had denuvo

narc0tic_bird, w Doom Eternal has Denuvo DRM removed

Can’t say it performed bad with Denovu though. Obviously still the right thing to remove it for so many other reasons.

520,

id has always been a crack team of developers where performance is concerned. The fact that it was possible to get Eternal running on Switch says a lot.

“Man stuck in traffic fails to realise he is in fact, the traffic”

rmuk, w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

“But I promise that you’re going to be blown away by the promising I’ll be doing in the future. My promising will be authentic, intuitive, life-like and indistinguishable from the real thing. This is promising like you’ve never experienced before, and these are promises they will still sound assuring twenty years after they’re made. I’m so proud of the team for the work they’ve done on this and I’ve promised them a pay rise, holiday in Bora Bora and a blowjob from a $10000-a-night hooker with a mouthful of warm honey. That’s the kind of promises I’m talking about, promises that will change the way we think about promises and, if you have a moment, I’d like to make you some promises too…”

The guy has been a con artist for decades, and he hasn't made a playable game since the 1990s. He also hasn't "over-promised his games", as the title of the article so cutely claims. Rather, he has lied through his fucking teeth to steal money from people, over and over and over again, and lied some more to steal more money, and lied some more, and lied some more. I'm sick to death of these pathetic redemption pieces for this no-talent loser. He's a thief and a liar, nothing more. He's not a genius. He's not a creative maelstrom that needs to be reined in. He's just a fucking liar and a thief, same as Elon Musk, same as everyone else who has tried to sell this particular brand of con artistry over the years.

quinnly,

he hasn’t made a playable game since the 1990s

I’m always one for dramatic over-exaggeration but the Fable games are perfectly playable

vaultdweller013,

They are not perfectly balanced as all things must be.

rmuk,

Can’t wait for the new Fable. My loins are girded in anticipation, or something.

Elderos,

I mean, you can blame him for a lot of stuff but he designed quite a few iconic games. Most game designers will spend a lifetime and not achieve just what molineux achieved in the 90s.

Cool! I got this in the summer sale but haven't had time to play it yet (I finished Doom 2016 first). I didn't know it had Denuvo DRM. Is there an easy way to check my library for Denuvo games?

is there a similar kind of mod for fifa?

@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

I don't quite understand, provided that's true... Why would they do that?

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Low effort so they don’t need to bypass the ancient DRM and still sell it

Either lost the source code, or didn’t have the expertise/time to fix it properly.

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

I’m pretty sure they just don’t care. This was easy and made money.

Nintendo did the same thing. I don’t remember the exact details, but they took a pirated copy of NES Super Mario Bros and were reselling it on another platform. As much as a dislike Nintendo and Take-Two/Rockstar for their business practices I can understand that it’s probably easier to just take back “stolen” and modified code and use it for themselves instead of repeating the process of getting around old copyright BS in order to resell the game.

It’s scummy, but I get it.

No, Nintendo didn’t.

Tldr: Nintendo outsourced the work for dumping NES ROMs and developing a NES emulator for GameCube and that contractor added the standard headers to dumps they made from original cartridges provided by Nintendo. Someone saw the headers and drew conclusions.

Long read: resetera.com/…/tomohiro-kawase-mightve-been-hired…

RS888,

The video linked in the Twitter thread explains it near the end but I'll summarize.

Rockstar used securom for the original disc release
Razor (an infamous piracy group) cracked the game shortly after release but only for Windows XP (Vista didn't exist yet)
Rockstar released the game on Steam "without securom" but in reality is just using Razor's crack
Fans eventually (like a decade later) realize there's Razor signatures in the executable on Steam
Rockstar pushes an update with a new executable, however this wasn't properly tested and is broken due to how the anti-piracy acts.

The game launches but similar to Arkham Asylum's "broken" grappling hook or Serious Sam's invincible scorpion enemies it messes with the player and doesn't function correctly on purpose.

Really interesting video and once again brings up the ethics of stealing from pirates' works as other comments have mentioned.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

The ethics are about releasing broken games and then not fixing them while still taking money.

SkyeStarfall,

And still standing in a cursed place in a room.

Who places their bed in the center of a massive room like this??

So, GOG release soon?

I’m good, but thanks.

Naz, w Denuvo and DRM punish the consumer, legendary PC developer says

I bought Baldur’s Gate 3 on launch day, within the hour, not even realizing the GOG version was DRM-free. We could’ve pirated the game but all four of my friends bought it.
