_cryptagion,

What does that have to do with Dredge?

_cryptagion,

Time for the weekly Valve fuckbois griping about how Epic is destroying the fabric of reality.

_cryptagion,

Don’t bother trying to understand it. They’ll tell you it’s because Epic is “anti-consumer”, while ignoring anything Valve does that’s shitty. The same people will post in other threads how there’s “no good billionaires”, then come to this community and post shit like “all hail our savior, Lord GabeN”.

In truth, it boils down mostly to them seeing PC gaming as Valve’s fiefdom, and Epic is aggressively trying to force their way into the market, which upsets them. The fact they feel comfortable putting all of PC gaming into the hands of a single mega corporation is insane, because when Valve inevitably goes under, we’re going to lose a lot of gaming history all at once. Not to mention, it was Steam that was responsible for the advent of not owning the games you buy, something I consider to be one of the worst things to ever happen to gaming.

_cryptagion,

More like it’s a shitty headline. The article shows there’s a little more to it, specifically that it was going to go over budget and they hadn’t figured out what they were gonna do.

_cryptagion,

That’s not how anyone describes that game, and if they did, I’m sure it wouldn’t have been canceled. Frostpunk did pretty well.

_cryptagion,

They did, but this is so little of a blip, it might not have even triggered.

_cryptagion,

The Wolf school had it’s mutagens destroyed, yes. But in the trailer, it appears Ciri is wearing a feline medallion, implying that she is somehow affiliated with the School of the Cat now.

_cryptagion,

She’s wearing a feline medallion in the trailer, so it stands to reason she’s affiliated with the School of the Cat now. She probably went through their trials. And apparently CDPR has stated she is indeed a full witcher now.

_cryptagion,

She might have done the trials with another school. In the trailer, she is wearing a feline witcher medallion, not a wolf one. I don’t think the lore ever mentions the School of the Cat having their mutagens destroyed.

_cryptagion,

I’m not too far into the lore either, but the Witcher audiobooks jsut happened to be up next in my listening queue, so I guess I’ll find out about all that pretty soon.

_cryptagion,

They’ve been working on it full-time for two years, so yeah. They’ve probably written one or two lines.

_cryptagion,

I need to actually start on 3. I’ve had it for several years, just never got around to playing it.

_cryptagion,

They’ve been working on it since they finished the next gen update for 3. That’s about two years now.

They’ve also said they learned their lesson with CP2077, so they aren’t going to give release dates or spend massive amounts on marketing this time around.

_cryptagion,

Are they witcher potions though? Or are they the kind the sorcerers use?

_cryptagion,

They’ve been working on it full time for two years. That’s two years they’ve been working full time on it. The full time development has been in progress for two years. For two years, the developers have been working full time on the game.

Did I mention it’s been in development for two years?

_cryptagion,

I’ve actually got both of those. Not sure when I bought them, but they’re on my account.

_cryptagion,

IDK, but it’ll be interesting to see how the story goes. Looking forward to it, for sure.

_cryptagion,

Somebody pointed out to me that the witcher medallion that Ciri is wearing is feline, so possibly from the School of the Cat, which according to the wiki was known to train women as witchers. I wonder if they had a different trial than that of the grasses. She might be a full fledged mutant, like Geralt.

_cryptagion,

Oh, I wasn’t implying anything of the sort, I just got excited about that little detail and wanted to share it with you!

_cryptagion,

Man, whatever universe you’re from, I wanna go there, since it sounds nice. I know you’re not from this universe, because if you were, everything you just said would be total bullshit.

_cryptagion,

Well, at least being full of shit isn’t one of them!

_cryptagion,

Put your game on GOG, or I’m gonna steal it.

I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store (lemmy.world) angielski

Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

_cryptagion,

Steam, Epic, GOG, it’s all the same to me. I’m not gonna fanboy over one platform and miss out on a game. That’s just ridiculous.

_cryptagion,

I get a game and indie devs get millions. When you put it that way, it seems morally better to use Epic over Steam.

_cryptagion,

Well, if you don’t have any examples, why even frame it as a fact that just misinforms people? Just state it as an opinion and be honest.

_cryptagion,

Nothing has gone wrong, and it’s been going on for years at this point. But yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe aliens will invade us because people use Epic. Maybe the sun will go supernova because the Epic store doesn’t have reviews.

Who knows, anything could happen.

_cryptagion,

They’re paying indie devs millions to remain exclusive for a year. What’s scummy is the Steam fanboys who see that and think it’s better for gamers if those games just aren’t financially successful.

_cryptagion,

You don’t even need to do that. Use Heroic and you can combine Epic, GOG, and Amazon into one launcher.

_cryptagion,

Great, the devs of good games deserve that money. The way you’re putting it, makes it seem morally just to buy Epic exclusives whenever possible. Thank you!

_cryptagion,

Steam isn’t trying to be a monopoly because they already are one. They’re now trying to keep that monopoly.

_cryptagion,

Ok, weird hill to die on, but I think everyone should be given the right to choose to end their life early, if they wish to, so I support your decision.

_cryptagion,

Still stupid as fuck, considering you don’t even need to use the Epic launcher for Epic games.

_cryptagion,

GOG is called Good Old Games for a reason. They aren’t losing out by having to wait. I always buy games there first, then Epic (if it’s an exclusive), then Steam.

Nothing beats GOG for preservation and gamers rights to actually own their games.

_cryptagion,

China can’t force Trojans to be installed on your PC. The fact that you believe that nonsense tells me you’re a fucking idiot.

_cryptagion,

What’s your point? Why would that matter if I’m not using their launcher when I play games from the Epic store? Just don’t use the Epic launcher. It’s not rocket science.

_cryptagion,

It’s not harassing me. I’ve bought Epic exclusives, and I’ll continue to do so if it’s a game I want to play. I always buy GOG first, Epic second (for exclusives), and Steam last, for anything else. This isn’t a problem for me.

_cryptagion,

No, that’s good DRM. You shouldn’t criticize the benevolent GabeN, may his corporate monopoly last forever.

Praise be!

/s

_cryptagion,

Tencent could own 100% of Epic, that doesn’t mean Epic is going to install malware on your PC for the Chinese government. That’s some top tier tinfoil bullshit. Nobody who lives in the US, which is where all the Epic employees and corporate overlords live, is going to risk going to prison for decades for espionage because their boss in China wants to steal data from gamers in the West.

You’re out of your fucking mind.

_cryptagion,

If a game works on Windows, there’s a 95% chance it works as good or better on Linux. The same can be said for MacOS apps, and Android apps, as there are packages to run those on Linux as well.

_cryptagion,

You don’t need to update them manually if you installed them using Heroic. You only need to update them manually if they were manually installed using a offline installer.

_cryptagion,

Yeah, but it’s different when Gabe does it. You know, just cause it is!

_cryptagion,

I don’t give any attention to the arguments that Steam is “more mature” in regards to features, when the vast majority of users don’t use those features to begin with. Steam has all the community features (and more) of Discord, but I would wager most of the fanboys in this thread don’t even know about that, or where to find those community features, let alone actually use them.

_cryptagion, (edited )

I know an update can contain malicious code, I’m saying you’re an idiot for thinking Todd Sweeney is going to go to prison so that China can steal data from a bunch of fat sweaty dudes.

Your comment is even more fucking idiotic when you consider Microsoft works with the NSA, and Recall will archive everything you do on your Windows PC for them to peruse at will without a warrant.

_cryptagion,

Is WeChat used in the US? Why the fuck are you using a Chinese app as your example, you could have done better than that, you twatwaffle.

_cryptagion, (edited )

What’s the point of your comment? It doesn’t change the fact that, at the end of the exclusivity period, those games will show up on GOG, which doesn’t care if they’re “old” games that don’t sell much.

Nobody is paying more than a couple dollars at most for Fallout 1 & 2, but do you see GOG throwing a fit about that? How do you suppose Epic exclusives are going to change that?

_cryptagion,

None, because I bought everything on the store I wanted in the last 50 seasonal sales. 😫

_cryptagion,

“Gods, I want to ride you ‘till you see stars.”

_cryptagion,

To be fair, Discord has been feeling the heat for a while, on multiple fronts and for multiple reasons. Not the least of which was a dumbass leaking classified information to his teenage buddies.
