Yep, uses CEF, though many popular desktop apps do without much application perf impact.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 2 weeks ago:
I’ve reached out to the ICO, hadn’t thought about it but I suppose I could try MS legal as well. Good idea
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 2 weeks ago:
I’ve attempted to contact their legal dept to no avail. do you have a contact number or address for end users to reach out to?
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
I see, good to know. There’s always potential for that. I suppose we’ll see in the coming weeks.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
I suppose there’s a chance but it’s not even my main payment method. I primarily use an entirely different card from a different vendor for the majority of my purchases today.
I’m also wondering what a fraudulent customer would need to do to warrant a test charge. I can’t think of anything an end user would do to invoke an attempt of $0.00 on their first transaction with my details.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
Appreciate the information. An associate of mine did allude to this being the case, key thing is they’ve attempted a transaction on this payment method and I’ve told them to stop.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
I thought about that, but it’s an entirely new card. Even if they had the AN, SC, Card number, they’d still need the new expiry date and security number. I don’t think these are required for business, however.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
Yup, reported this to the ICO two days ago.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
I suppose I did want to find out if it happened to other people ahead of reaching out, but it can take up to 15 weeks for a case to get looked at, so I figured I’d send it asap.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
I neglected to mention in the post that I’ve already reached out to the ICO. Appreciate you linking this here for others in the UK who have dealt with the same thing though
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
? That’s why we have the ICO here in the UK
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
As mentioned near the top, I preusme this was an automated test charge to check the validity of the payment method
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
lmao
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the input. I wonder if you were amongst the first few people to delete their account in response to the controversy.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
In the back of my mind, I feel the same way, but at least they can be fined for infractions like this.
- Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request 3 weeks ago:
Appreciate the sentiment nonetheless

Out of curiosity, did anyone sue bungie for doing the same thing with destiny’s Y1 is y2 content?
I was one of those dumb bastards who bought the game and its dlc back in 2017

payday 2 was kind of a cosy game where me and my friend would do heists whilst making tea and ffetching snacks
- Comment on A New Dawn | Halo Studios 2 months ago:
I feel like I’m being needlessly nitpicky but the animation of chief brandishing the energy sword at the end looks so clunky and awkward.
though generally speaking, the visuals are tight.
- Comment on A New Dawn | Halo Studios 2 months ago:
Sounds about right. I suppose they also want to distance themselves as much as possible from the antics of frank o’connor’s 343i with a brand move like this.
I wonder which retcons they’ll retcon. Will the forunners be human again? Will the events of 4, 5 and infinite just be one big fever dream?
- Comment on 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC! 2 months ago:
Echopoint Nova (Steam)
A short and sweet, low-fi yet beautiful co-op (and optionally PVP) movement shooter with extremely satisfying projectile mechanics, destructible environments and a gorgeous soundtrack by Floating Door. This is made by the same people behind Severed Steel.
Definitely not for everybody but there’s a demo (which can also be played in co-op) available on the store page.

- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 3 months ago:
It’s funny is how gorgeous the endgame content looks. Sure it plays out very much in the same way, but it’s kinda crazy how hard they go in visuals on parts of the game that very few players can reach. I’m not opposed to this in principle, mind you.
But yeah the raids and dungeons didn’t really grip me in the end. Pretty as they are, there’s a lot of arbitrary systems at play which kill my engagement.
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 3 months ago:
Yup. The gaming industry got lucrative enough for the bean counters to swoop in and bastardise.
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 3 months ago:
And they didn’t retroactively unlock impacked gear. I had a couple god rolled blast furnaces relgated to casual PvP despite the absurd amount of time I had to put into that bullshit forge activity.
Anyone else notice the extent of bungies creativity as far as destiny is concerned:
- Stand on plates
- Shoot targets
- 3 damage phases
- Juggle balls
