- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 1 day ago:
Many games are DRM free on Steam too. Cyberpunk 2077 for example. The Steam DRM is at the publisher/developer’s discretion, not Steam’s.
Steam DRM itself is trivially bypassed which is surely intended.
- Comment on EU Commission meets behind closed doors with Ubisoft, other corporations, and exhibits blatant corruption. 2 days ago:
That’s just not true. Inform yourself to save future embarrassment.
You are confusing licensing and terms of service.
- Comment on EU Commission meets behind closed doors with Ubisoft, other corporations, and exhibits blatant corruption. 2 days ago:
This is not true. Don’t spread this false “you don’t own your games” narrative.
You buy a perpetual license for a copy of the game. It’s called a license because you are not buying the actual game but a copy. It’s exactly the same way other software works as well as music and other media.
The whole point of SKG is that we do own our games but publishers are trying to act otherwise.
Here, Ross who started SKG explains it better.

Uh, they are the EU.
- Comment on European Commission rejects new laws for Stop Destroying Videogames 5 days ago:
TLDR “we have been successfully lobbied/bribed/corrupted into doing nothing (we may end up making it easier for publishers to do whatever they want)”.
Lot of EU supremacist/jingoist gamers gonna be feeling some serious cognitive dissonance tonight.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s definitely less sand-boxy than Skyrim but I think it’s in the same vein.
There’s definitely a few playthroughs to be had with the different classes and NG+.

I am aphantasic. When I imagine something I see nothing with my eyes other than what is in front of me. I am completely unable to.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
aphantasic
I am… not sure why it would stop me enjoying books (I’ve read hundreds). I do think it influences me towards authors who don’t drop 2 pages describing something though, I find that tedious and unnecessary.

It was written by someone called Dayna Craig IIRC.
It’s a perfect distillation of narcissist psychology IMO.

The Narcissist’s Prayer
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
- Comment on How is it possible that Bungie didn't get in real legal trouble due to all that "vaulting" bullshit during Destiny 2? 4 weeks ago:
It’s a perpetual license for your copy of the game. That’s why it’s a license because otherwise you would be buying the game, not just a copy.
It’s just like buying music on CD. You’re only buying a licensed copy.
The big question with this stuff is what would happen if Bungie or any other ‘live-service’ game company were taken to court over their licensing. Bungie has no subscription, everything is a one time purchase and there is no expiration date for the software license sold. In theory they should get destroyed in court but ehhh… capitalism so who knows.
Here’s a great video from the guy that started Stop Killing Games that explains it better than me.

How could Balatro be seen as gambling? It’s a game you purchase once with no DLC or microtransactions and there’s no gambling in the game.

- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Depends what you mean by playable.
Take Forza Horizon 4 for example. I think many people who have played that would consider the ability to collect all the cars a requirement for it to remain in a playable state. If you run it in offline mode though you can’t access the Forzathon shop, Backstage pass and weekly seasonal events that you need to buy many of them.
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 5 weeks ago:
If we assume that PC gamers on average build a new PC every 5 years then each year 20% will build a new PC meaning over 2 years 40% will build a new PC therefor 60% not building one in 2 years is exactly as expected.
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 5 weeks ago:
Also, they don’t really do proper adult games like Elden Ring. If you love Zelda I understand but it’s time to move on.
In the context of the first sentence, the second sentence seems to imply that Zelda isn’t for “proper adults”. Even if it wasn’t meant like that (I can’t see how else it can be meant), who is OP to tell people to “move on”.
