agreed

yeah

why do people still play/buy games with Denuvo,it reduces your fps anyways.
maybe Denuvo is as bad as Kernel level anticheat.

Finally

so people have to reverse engineer the game and try to make a remaster ig?

yw,you may include them on the list if desired.

Nice list, but i have Extra Engines i want to include:(Only engines considered “legal”,note: some of these i didnt test myself,but this may contain reverse engineering projects . )

I mainly includes engines i have heard off

Iirc, yeah, Plus! is Unity-based.

Ofc

Also I’ve seen a few engine interpreters over the years. None as overarching as ScummVM and JoiPlay, in this order, but pretty useful stuff. I should check some time if I still have a list of such tools.

oh i see, cool stuff like i said, i cant wait for a list if it releases.

oh cool i never heard of JoiPlay but sounds useful.
and Plus! uses Unity Right?

alright imma be optimistic, i hope that they drop that update, or make it so you can sideload by a setting or smth.

Its not open source, so maybe a APK on the developers website/itch.io.

Maybe my GTX 1650 (4GB VRAM) gpu is not useless.

It sucks tbh.
I remember:
Moderation problems(even the CEO of roblox started being accused of being a pedophile because he wouldn’t fix the problem, and allowing one of the weird people to a event and i think the event is cancelled,and even displaying the weird people on a game and later removing them), 90% of the games being copies of existing ones (most of the 10% is original but basic concept),axing core features of roblox(replacing faces and forcing realistic characters),being accused of child labour(for being a “childrens website” and them taking 30%),accused of hiring third world people for their Moderation,Forced AI(LLM),axing Linux to implement a anticheat(should be a red-flag tbh), Corporate greed?(removing lifetime builders club),etc.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

I can’t wait.
Finally a good alternative to Roblox.

make Fortnite,EGS and UE and even worse then it already is?
Sure.

I agree with this alot, enshittification sucks.
And i feel like the only AAA company that appeals me is Valve.
I still see Kojima in meme culture aswell.

Technically Firaxis is a subsidiary to 2k, but sure.

Agreed. (I also agree with the DLC spam)
I love Indie Games so much.
They are not perfect,but they are better then Most AAA Games.
But tbh the only good AAA studio(in my Opinion) is Valve.

Gearbox is now owned by Take 2 interactive btw.

Has very intrusive kernel level/bios level anticheat
still has cheaters.
mfw

This is why I dislike Tencent (parent of Riot Games)

I still dont trust any anticheat that runs on the Windows NT kernel.
We need more better or open source anticheats that dont run in the kernel.
Or open source maybe can run in kernel idk.

Ofc its a company with “AI first” philosophy

Karma fr.

Classic Nvidia

Idk if related but why is Sony is not very confident they are gonna make good stuff istg.
And also I hope they make it a independent company or Smth ig.

i know people Moved to Discord because it fixed the problems that teamspeak had?
i wonder if teamspeak tried to add Discord’s features.

true, but i heard teamspeak fixed the issues it had?

time repeats itself.

lets hope for a competitor that doesn’t shoot themselves in the foot 🙏
discord also shot themselves in the foot too

Not to mention it they had it way before steam ever heard of refunds.
People have! Homebrewing it for piracy is definitely not legal, but you can hack it like any other PSP (okay technically you can get original homebrew for it kinda but not really legally). But if you’re a law abiding citizen, you can’t buy new digital games for it.

Oh cool

Postal 2 was one of the games in the bundle I mentioned. HuniePop was included IIRC along other games like Fetish Locator. It was given away just after the other two stores caved in.

Yep

IIRC that was Australia. But even their refund policy now is shit. Two hours after you click launch on a game? GOG back then had a 14 day money back guarantee, now extended to a full 30 days refund policy.

IIRC Steam is Two hours after you click launch on a game or 14 days after you bought the game,But i always thought GOG’S refund policy is more generous

There are very few of these games and the only way to know about them is a community-made spreadsheet compiled through trial and error. Unlike GOG, they’re not guaranteed to stay DRM-free - they can suddenly become DRM’d at any moment.

Yeah your right and there is no legal way to bypass it

The PSP Go was the first digital only console and since the PS Store was discontinued for it, yep, no more buying games for it.

I wonder if people ever homebrew’d it to circumvent it (idk if this is even legal)

If they did, then they caved to them despite their wealth and resources. Meanwhile GOG gave away a bundle full of NSFW games and they’re also served by Visa and MC. AFAIK only they and itch.io publicly shot themselves here.

I think the only non-NSFW/NSFW-adjacent Game GOG gave out was Postal 2
and i get it now.

Alright here is my response(am not defending Valve or calling them Saints here)

Caving in to the anti-NSFW demands is “doing nothing”?

IIRC Didnt Visa and Mastercard pressure them

Paid mods?

thats a thing?

Not offering refunds for more than a decade?

i heard a government pressured them to doing this,yeah that sucks though

Being one of the first to popularize loot boxes and with it “marketplaces” of items that don’t exist, where you aren’t even guaranteed the horse armor you want to buy?

Yeah that sucks to,but for me its fine for F2P Video games and if its not P2W
Donationware would be cool too 👍

literally destroying physical media, used games, and game ownership in one fell swoop so we have to rely on GOG to get the latter back in some form?

Didnt everything move digital?
but
for the most part Steam/Valve did kinda destroy physical Medium,there are sometimes video games that are sold on DVDS/CDS(Video games,Music)
i think for non-DRM Games you can Still own it on Steam???
and used games well i think the digital switch killed it, but if the franchise still has physical Medium it is still possible.

True

I agree but if it was just used in minor or very minor places.
But the job requirements require you to use AI tools which is not fine with me(it would be fine if it was optional)

And its in third person, not first person.

ohhh yeah i forgot

it’s more casual and fun oriented, not that balanced at all

Yeah fair enough

BTW I recently installed Team Fortress 2 Classified, a mod that got its own Steam store page. It has lot of stuff from early TF2 days recreated and looks very interesting. Still need to try it out.

i think its also Team Fortress classic and maybe scraped tf2 features aswell

just play TF2 or marvel rivals at this point

edit: maybe TF2 Is the better option(and its mods)

ok i get the full picture now

agreed, i feel like Valve is using their monopolization for good then bad, look at Valve’s competitors using their monopolization stance for bad.
and i feel like Valve has monopoly cause they do less mistakes then their competitors(compare Steam with like Epic Games and GOG)
am not defending valve here,am not saying Valve is a saint.

Does krita fit your purposes?

ohh yeah,i didnt mention/dont use it cause its more meant for “art” then “image manipulation”
