  I mean… Just look at the news. We don’t have to imagine it because that is what is going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There were some rather in detail answers already to which I could add. But instead I am going with a more simple answer that is hopefully also good.

  Basically, bad actors want to stay undetected if possible. Like staying in dark places with dark clothing and not making noise. trying to get your own subdomain is more like wearing a high Vis jacket, having Christmas lights on you and broadcasting your presence with a loudspeaker with something like “catch me if you can!” on repeat.

  Or even simpler: getting detected is bad for bad actors, doing that is one great way to get detected, they know that so they don’t do that.

  Or metaphorically: a drop of water in the ocean won’t get noticed, rain in the desert will.

  At the end of the day it’s not about what you can do but if you should do that.

  I distinctly remember buying both unreal and unreal tournament from GoG on sale when it was still listed there. So yeah, people did buy those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair. The Steam forums are actually pretty bad in general and could do with better moderation.

  Having said that, there is a reason why some corporations have the reputation that they have. Might want to fix the thing that is causing that reputation instead of blaming everyone else for your bad reputation. But that would be the harder thing to do that takes time and effort and no one likes to put effort in.

  Now that’s one shit experiment to figure something specific out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue that it’s a handheld PC since it’s not locked down to heck and back. It would also be the one thing I would buy but I have no use case for it so I don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Crazy stuff… Ads everywhere. Makes my choice to not buy any console this generation seem a lot better. It saved me money and I don’t get ads forced on me. I call that a win win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games like Splitgate? (Halo?)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right… Splitgate and splitgate 2 are lies. What you experienced are probably mostly if not all bit matches instead of playing with and against other players. But that is besides the question.

  Realistically there have been no actual good games in that niche in recent years (less than 10 years old) and the old ones are either dead unless you like botmatches or have a tiny community that is really REALLY good and will wipe the floor with you.

  Anyhow Quake 3 (good luck) Tribes 2 (good luck) Unreal tournament 2004 (good luck obtaining legally, also good luck) Halo (LoL last decent one was reach on 360) There’s more but those are even more niche than the big ones already listed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft are adding offline modes to The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest after getting savaged over junking The Crew⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now would you look at that… Still a good idea to keep going with stop killing games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL I can restore games on Steam, which I removed years ago⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet… Ubisoft did go and “remove” the keys for the crew when they shut that one down. No one but them can really say if they actually deleted them or not. though I have my doubts with how that company has acted in recent years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL I can restore games on Steam, which I removed years ago⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are reasons for why that is possible, for better or worse.

  To reverse malicious actions that may have been taken by other people that got access to the account for any reason for example.

  There may even be legal reasons for why that is the case. Licensing law can be quite complicated.

  And then there is the fact that if it’s hidden it’s effectively gone anyways and that may actually be what people actually care about. Not whether or not they technically still have that game or not. People wanting a clean library is a thing and it ties into the concept that is the right to be forgotten.

  That’s not impressive. 120 in a 30 or there about is. Yes someone did that around here. As for the how? High powered car and a lead foot mixed with a need for speed or a death wish.

  What a scrub… Doesn’t even know all the phone numbers without a book telling him

  I know all the phone numbers, I just don’t know which one belongs to who.
