- Comment on Hogwarts Legacy fans rejoice as new Harry Potter game officially announced for September 1 week ago:
If the lurkers don’t agree with you, does that make them trolls too?
- Comment on Dead Games News: Response from UK Government 1 month ago:
I’m currently at work, so disclaimer: the following is an AI-generated summary.
- The UK government has responded to the petition to stop game publishers from destroying players’ access to purchased games, but the response is complex and not entirely straightforward.
- The government’s response suggests there may be some legal avenues to pursue, particularly around the requirement for clear information to be provided to consumers about the longevity of online games.
- The key issue seems to be that most online games do not clearly disclose when their service will be shut down, depriving consumers of information needed to make an informed purchase decision.
- Pursuing this angle through consumer protection regulations like the CPRs may be more promising than directly trying to prevent game shutdowns, which the government response suggests is not clearly prohibited.
- However, there are many open questions about the specifics of how to report and pursue potential violations, including around time limits, penalties, and differences between UK and Scottish law.
- The creator of the video acknowledges this is a complex legal maze, but believes there is potential to do “a lot of damage” to the industry if the right approach can be identified.
- Gathering more signatures on the UK petition may help, but the creator is skeptical this alone will lead to legislative change.
- Overall, the response provides some promising leads, but significant work is still needed to determine the best path forward and how to effectively leverage the apparent legal violations.
- The creator expresses frustration at having to essentially act as “self-checkout law enforcement” to get the government to enforce existing consumer protection laws.
- Despite the challenges, the creator remains determined to find a way to hold game publishers accountable and prevent the destruction of purchased games.
- Comment on I'm so annoyed that they're calling the new hobbit game 'A The Lord of the Rings Game' 1 month ago:
I can understand the decision somewhat.
Putting “The Lord of the Rings” first in the title would imply that this furthers the main canon, when it’s actually only set in its universe.

Because most gamers don’t care.

Welcome to Lemmy. You may only advocate for Firefox.

That’s hardly React’s fault. Blame the web devs to jump into making websites after having completed a 2-week React bootcamp and nothing else.

How is Valve using Proton a grey area?
- Comment on every comment section 2 months ago:
You perfectly demonstrated why people will never listen to you. Think about it, you’ll get it.
- Comment on More ways to play your GOG games with Amazon Luna 3 months ago:
What are you talking about? GOG has been involved with Amazon for a long time now, and so far it has been exclusively beneficial for GOG users.
- Comment on More ways to play your GOG games with Amazon Luna 3 months ago:
Then just pretend it doesn’t exist. I don’t understand how this affects the GOG userbase. All that happens is people speculate about how GOG is out to kill DRM-freedom.

No one in the comments seems to consider that this could very well be an additional revenue stream that GOG desperately needs.
- Comment on God of War (PC) is now available on GOG 3 months ago:
What can you tell me about their refund policy?
You can refund any purchase within 30 days. There are no restrictions on playtime, since GOG can’t feasibly control that.
You can get your refund either as store credit or to the payment method you used, however store credit is usually processed much faster.
Are the results on ProtonDB just as reliable for GOG versions as they are for Steam versions of games?
I can only vaguely answer this by saying the games that I tried (mainly indie games like Dead Cells and One Step from Eden) worked flawlessly.
Heroic Games Launcher has a Mastodon presence, so you can ask them there! mastodon.social/@heroiclauncher

It’s in their latest release notes: github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/…/v2.13.0
It’s also featured on their donate page: heroicgameslauncher.com/donate

GOG is tiny compared to Valve. They simply don’t have the resources to invest in Linux R&D.
- Comment on God of War (PC) is now available on GOG 3 months ago:
There’s little to no business incentive for other launchers to add support for an OS used only by approx. 1.7% of PC gamers.
- Comment on God of War (PC) is now available on GOG 3 months ago:
You can use the Heroic Games Launcher, which runs GOG games through Proton and integrates with GOG cloud saves.
Buying games on GOG through their launcher also gives them a cut of the money!

IP address? Oh, you mean the thing that rotates every 24 hours?

Oh no, now they know the one-off email address I used for my Epic account!

Feel free to boycott it. Just don’t go around telling others which store they should be buying from like you did at r/pcgaming.

It’s just terminally online redditors bringing their anti-Epic circlejerk here. There’s nothing wrong with collecting free games from the EGS.

Do not rely on that.
Case in point: Arkham City.

Here’s to hoping Hello Games releases this one on GOG as well.

- Comment on Microsoft may lose $120 million due to the Overwatch League shutdown 7 months ago:
To be fair, the different powers more or less boil down to the same pieces of utilities. The smoke or molly is just a different color each time.

It’s just the same circlejerking as on Reddit.
Just wait until we get a thread mentioning the Epic Games Store.

And that contradicts my statement… how exactly?

Care to name the games you’re referring to?
