Truscape,

I would honestly follow where your community/friends are at. The minecraft modding community is extensive and amazing at bringing endless experiences to you, and the amount of active playthroughs willing to accept new members is likely higher on Minecraft than Minetest instances.

However, if you wish to develop and mod yourself rather than play on pre-existing modded and vanilla content, I could see some great experiences from joining a community on Minetest. But to me, Minetest is a development and educational tool, not a game.

Edit: I would highly recommend playing on the Java edition of the game, rather than bedrock, and feel free to take your time exploring the wealth of updates you likely missed.

Truscape,

All Warhammer game devs try not to be based challenge (impossible)

Truscape,

Dammit. Always a catch after all… ;-;

Elder Scrolls Online devs detail “inhumane” Microsoft layoffs as Xbox expects the “carcass of workers” to “keep shipping award-winning games” (www.videogamer.com) angielski

Inhuman. I can't believe how they would fire everybody without telling them what's going on, just shutting off all their accounts and leaving them hanging.

Truscape,

I never really trusted any sort of MMORPG that wasnt able to be community hosted with my time. It always ends up being a rugpull.

Edit: For that matter, add survival games/Open world multi-player games without community servers to that statement.

Truscape,

Actually, some talented people have managed to make locally/community hosted WoW a thing, so at least you have that backup plan :)

No such luck for Destiny 1/2, how much time I spent there…

Truscape,

I suppose, sorry. I meant your progress that was meant to last forever being dragged out from under you (server shutdown). I guess rugpull might be more for something like scams.

Truscape,

Consoles are a walled garden - the only reason they can do what they do is because of the lack of options for the customer to use their hardware.

PCs are the only gaming platform (apart from perhaps smartphones) that have an open framework untouchable by publishers or game platforms. You don’t have to publish with Sony and Microsoft, and the majority don’t.

Unless your console has homebrew, you will always be screwed by the platform holder.

Truscape,

I’m referring to that consoles can set the price period. You don’t have another marketplace (except for the used physical market, if you console supports it) to acquire first or third party games. Therefore, those who own the market can set the price as high as they’d like.

I remember when console prices were standardized at 60 USD during the 7th generation. On steam I’ve never paid more than 40, with the majority of my library costing under 20.

Truscape,

How’s Brazilian regional pricing doing so far? I heard some countries are getting the short end of the stick now because of some users VPN routing to another country for deals.

Truscape,

I bought the outer worlds for $10 on a steam summer sale. The original list price and the price a customer pays tends to be much lower on PC (many wishlist and wait), and piracy is an option.

Truscape,

And then the next storefront or launcher will come along. Or GOG/Epic start making moves that appeal to a wider demographic. Or indies publish on their own sites (Vintage Story). Or someone releases a simplistic cracking tool for Steam’s DRM.

There’s a lot more options than you think for those who aren’t happy with the status quo. Going back full circle, on consoles, you are SOL in that situation. PC never had that issue.

Truscape,

That’s definitely fair, but there is the argument that the largest source of change for major powers is through harming their economies.

Sort of like, I like the artistry from this person from X nation, but by giving them money, I am indirectly helping fuel the economy of X nation, therefore giving their goverment less incentive to change existing behavior.

The problem is that in order to achieve that collective impact, a whole lot of innocent parties who have no support for or active hostility for the existing regime are also badly impacted. Usually individuals will greatly suffer before the political or structural systems will ever change.

So it’s a bit of a bind. Support Russian media, comes with the side effect of supporting the Russian regime, at least indirectly from their income flowing into taxes. End of the day, it’s a choice to make.
