Because if they don’t then you can essentially just give a game away, and that means less sales

How would you make it so you can only share games with your family? As in what technical definition of “family” would you use that can’t include your friends?

Sounds like it’s no more DRM than the limits of a physical cartridge, right?

Brand new account immediately starts spamming about cryptocurrency “games”? Seems legit.

If you’re wanting to build a game, do it for you and not someone else. It’s going to be a difficult and thankless task, so make sure that you are enjoying the process!

- Comment on Google will develop the Android OS fully in private, and here's why 2 days ago:
Google will continue to publish the source code for Android’s Linux kernel fork, as it is licensed under GPLv2, which mandates source code releases, and is separate from AOSP.
This is about AOSP, which apparently is separate and uses the MIT licence.
I can’t see it making a huge difference, Android has always been in that “OSS but not FOSS” area of basically being completely owned and controlled by Google.

Yeah, plenty. Very much depends where you are in the country; whether it’s a cool bar, an old man pub, or a spoons; and if you’re going for a fancy pint or generic mass-produced lager.

Super Mario Run was quite fun as a single-button Mario platformer. You could also try visual novels or point-and-click adventures, or even something just with simple controls like pokémon.

- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 week ago:
My personal hypothesis is that everyone likes online multiplayer initially because it’s pretty cool, then you get bored it when you realise playing with angry randos is no fun. It’s not that a younger generation prefers online multiplayer, it’s that they haven’t got sick of it yet!

Apart from the bait title it’s a reasonable article. If they’d have called it “Six things Microsoft need to do for their portable Xbox to compete with the Steam Deck” it could have had exactly the same content.

I’ve not played many since they went 3D, do all the NPCs still look like they were designed with the Mii Maker?

The quick check is to search for a game on Proton DB and see how well it runs (usually pretty well!)
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 4 weeks ago:
Hard to say what the best is as it’s very much an opinion but HG/SS is probably a good choice
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I’d recommend X/Y to start as others have. I definitely enjoyed it but it was noticeably dumbed-down compared to older games. It’s not as bad as S/M (which was so trivially challenge-free I got bored), but I’m concerned that you might just not be interested. They say that game freak keep releasing games for small children despite the players growing up, so bare that in mind if you find the newer games too easy.
I’m not sure I can recommend R/B/Y to a newbie either, as without any nostalgia they will probably seem incredibly dated. Maybe FR/LG is a good place to start, I hardly played it but it seems like you get the original experience with a bit of polish. I feel it’s better to start with an older game as then if you like it you can continue through them in order rather than going back to something with less features. That said if you think it’s too old and you’re not enjoying it then just skip to something newer!
