ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES - Ubisoft (www.ubisoft.com) angielski

You may want to know that Ubisoft’s Rocksmith® 2014 Edition will be de-listed from Steam and other online stores after October 23rd, 2023 which is one week from this post date. This is a game that makes learning to play the guitar like Guitar Hero/Rockband, which can score you or let you slowly practice a part with scrolling...

Rentlar,

If it’s any consolation, Ubisoft removed Denuvo sometime in the last couple years, and the UPlay sign in screen is annoying but can be bypassed fairly simply.

Rentlar,

I think you could probably find the game on the high seas even after a delist, probably some of them could have a lot of DLC included but I haven’t checked. Custom DLC might take a little more setup but idk, there are tutorials at least.

Custom DLCs exist that “cover” some of the same songs as the official DLCs do exist, though you won’t find them on CustomsForge. The Internet Archive has a folder with over 60k custom song maps, and hasn’t needlessly bound itself with restrictions.

Rentlar, (edited )

If anyone else runs into the Fullscreen Issue like I did initially, you have to go in the .ini file, set your screen width, height values to something less than your monitor specs and Fullscreen to 0.

And the UPlay signin screen is bypassed by pressing escape twice, Ubisoft doesn’t make this obvious AT ALL.

Rentlar,

At least you get to keep the DLC titles you purchased, which probably wouldn’t happen with a SaaS title

Precisely. This is why I’m giving people a heads up that this is the last opportunity for this game with the “buy it, keep it forever and do whatever with it” model.

Since I’m not aware of CustomDLC for Rocksmith+ or if there will ever be, you’d be entirely at the mercy of what songs Ubisoft has the license for you to play, even if their catalogue is sizable.

Rentlar,

You’re probably correct, they’ve already delisted some DLC songs due to license expiry…

But if they are or will be relicensing many of the songs for their subscription service Rocksmith+, why couldn’t they use those same licenses to keep distributing Rocksmith 2014 and its DLC in stores? Unfortunately I’m not too thorough with music licensing.

Rentlar,

I’d be thrust into a dog-eat-dog world of 4 warring factions each out to establish dominance and feed themselves. I’d say in a week give or take I’d end up on someone’s dinner plate.

(I played 3/4s through of Tooth and Tail last night in 8 hours).

Ask me again in two weeks and I’d be in a city where you MUST take a train to get anywhere, in Cities Skylines 2. That would be a nicer fate.

Rentlar,

I wonder if this installment will feature GIANT INSECTS

When a company doing scum-of-the-earth work like mobile ads is in a more charitable position than your company’s, you done fucked up.

Rentlar,

If anyone pre-ordered it (which generally isn’t advisable anyway) then this could be reasonable grounds for a refund.

Rentlar,

Reddit employees searching TikTok for memes to repost to Reddit be like:

are ya winning dad? meme

Rentlar,

I can see it being part of a “announce an outrageously awful thing, settle for doing something bad instead” scheme.

Rentlar,

The swashbuckler’s solution is then to make your own bundler installer!

Fleece every Unity dev pretty much, even if big studios can afford it.

California takes first step in acquiring trains for High-Speed Rail (ktla.com) angielski

California issues an RFQ (Request for Qualifications) in preparation of buying trainsets capable of travelling around 220mph (355km/h), two prototypes, a simulator, spare parts and operational availability for 30 years. Timeline for revenue operation currently is at year 2030....

Rentlar,

I can understand your skepticism, but you may be slightly misinformed. High speed rail corridors don’t pop up overnight, and they take longer if you want it to be built as economically, safe, and well-thought out as possible. For this project we are about 15 years after voters approved the idea 2008, so that part is true as you say. So planning is done to get the most efficient and effective path which takes years, consulting the public takes years, building it takes more years, then testing and commissioning is the cherry on top. The American idea of “I can do this all by myself without any European/Asian help” is certainly slowing things down and making it expensive as well. Due to inflation the costs also will rise but so will the cost of any alternative be it maintaining highway systems, managing traffic and pollution.

See the progress of the project for yourself at their website. Or a detailed summary on the Wikipedia page.

These must be golf pegs for Godzilla! :)

Rentlar,

You can see on the California government website where the current plan is to integrate with each part of the city. Many of the bigger population centres will have stations right at (what sound like to me as) major transit hubs. Unfortunately, the 2030 target is for operation between Bakersfield - Madera, so the parts around SF and LA will still take a bit longer than that.

Rentlar,

Earning revenue by caring for your customers and the industry takes strategic direction, time, money and effort, and the kind of effort needed is different between industries.

Earning revenue by sucking the living shit out of a company works (at least temporarily) for any industry and a multinational C-suite executive can employ it to any industry to give themselves the guise of success.

It’s like instead of cooking and following a recipe, just take all the ingredients and stick it into a blender and call the smoothie a meal. You’ll get sustenance but you ruined what made food interesting.

(See my Beehaw comment for the full detail)

Is it piracy to do that? I’d argue no.

Is it illegal? Possibly, but it’s a grey area and it all depends on your country whether it breaks the law.

The Deluxe Edition doesn’t add much value for me but as Cities:Skylines was amazingly fun, CitiesSkylines 2 is worth every penny to me.

Rentlar,
