If you want to own your games, buy them on GOG.

Certain clauses may be unenforceable, but not the entire EULA.

It’s easier to make small saves for games like The Pedestrian, because essentially all you have to track is which puzzles you’ve solved.

Whereas in an RPG with a persistent world like Cyberpunk or Skyrim, you have to save the state of every single object and mechanic the player has interacted with during their run, and there are usually a whole lot of those.

What’s bad about IPv6?

The fact that this is the top comment sends a funny message about the Lemmy community as a whole.

Federated?

You’re just throwing together FOSS buzzwords at this point.

With GOG, you can at least have full confidence that the game will continue to work without any outside connections.

I didn’t say they deserve no protection at all. You are twisting my words because my opinion doesn’t align with yours.

I advocate for games having a clear indicator for any online dependencies. I do not advocate for outlawing said dependencies or mandating “offline patches”.

If you are clearly told that you’re buying an ephemeral product and you are still surprised when it shuts down, then I don’t know what to tell you.

This basically boils down to “read the terms & conditions”, which isn’t unreasonable.

If a game states in its terms that access may be revoked at any time and you buy the game, then you have no reason to be surprised when access is eventually revoked.

Obviously when terms aren’t clear enough or intentionally obfuscated, that’s indeed an issue for legislation to act upon.

All this wouldn’t be necessary if gamers would just stop buying games that are obviously live services with remote kill switches.

How else do you expect the moderators of that sub to keep out raiders and spam bots?

And that was the end of GOG

How?

und dann nicht einsieht, warum ein anderes OS diesen Fehler nicht begehen will.

Da verstehst du was falsch. Es ist nicht so, dass Linux keine Rootkits zulässt, sondern dass die Entwickler Linux nicht zulassen.

According to PCGamingWiki, the game does have Steam DRM. It was available DRM-free on GOG.

That’s why I buy on GOG. There I can pull the installer for a game and hoard it when I know the next update is going to go bad.

IMO you don’t have to be shooting bullets to qualify as a shooter

The memes are annoying because most of the complaints are superficial.

“Look, "b" + "a" + +"a" + "a" outputs "baNaNa"! JavaScript bad!” Yeah, that’s what happens. Just don’t do that thing that obviously doesn’t look right. Don’t use var, just like every modern JavaScript learning resource will tell you. Don’t use == if you don’t intend for type coercing to happen.

If you don’t write bad code on purpose, JavaScript is fine.

If you don’t know the history, why are you so confidently talking about JavaScript being built in 2 weeks?

Because people gave you answers to the question you asked?

Why is it a shit head company?
