Signed! We need reform on how aging games are handled to protect ownership of paid products and the only way publishers will do that is if they’re forced to.

- Comment on Why do comments from lemmy.world users not appear until 4 days later? 4 weeks ago:
All of the lemmy.world communities I follow are showing weird imo. All the posts still appear on my feed but with a single upvote and no comments.
It’s a bit of a shame because a lot of the more active communities I’m subscribed to are lemmy.world ones so it’s not as easy as finding alternatives.

- Comment on What are some games you find yourself frequently coming back to? 1 month ago:
Factorio. I love the gameplay but none of my friends play it so I normally play other games with them and come back to Factorio every now and then.
- Comment on Steam :: Introducing Steam Families 1 month ago:
Don’t forget Steam Link! It’s one of my favourite features. You’re not even really tethered to any particular device to play your games since so many devices support the app. I play games that are single-player “console” style games in my lounge room for comfort and Steam Link means I can use my very good PC instead of buying into yet another console generation.

Bring in Universal Basic Income. Introduce emotion tracking as job KPI. Fire me because I don’t emote per LLM datasets. Live comfortably unemployed.
Best dystopian outcome. A guy can dream, right?
- Comment on If Skull and Bones came out and was a 10/10 what would your user review look like? 4 months ago:
Before I go into this I want to preface that I love Sea of Thieves (SoT) and it is almost definitely my most played game.
It’s funny that SoT is a culmination of pretty much all of the worst parts of gaming business culture lately and is still a great game. It’s a game as a service, has a cosmetic micro transaction store, premium currency, predatory micro transactions (change character appearance or ship name), released with bare bones features and constantly introducing bugs with every update. And yet it’s also one of the biggest success stories using all of those components. It wasn’t abandoned like some games as a service cash-grabs, the game has quadrupled in features and content, the cosmetics are (mostly) kept well on-brand for the universe and the team regularly communicates regarding both success and failures.
With all of that in mind; ever since I started playing SoT (a week after release RIP Day 1 eye patch) I’ve had a few mates, who’ve never played SoT, tell me it’s a shit game and that Skull and Bones will be a much better game in a
monthyearwhen it comes out.I’m always excited to see good games produced even when I’m not intending to play them but Skull and Bones certainly seems like it’ll be another cookie cutter POS game shat out to claim tax on the loss and shut down some time after. Thank goodness we have at least one good pirate game that’s still going strong.
