Well, we will see what they do in practice. I think it’s a step in te right direction.

Meanwhile speculation grew from a 2025 report by gaming industry advisory company Epyllion that the next Grand Theft Auto will be the first game to be priced at $100, paving the way for others to either follow suit or at least contemplate a price hike.

I guess I have to wait a few years till it gets down to 30€ or so. That’s manageable.

Your description sounds intriguing, but the game has mixed ratings. Anyone tried it and can share their experience?

video game company wants to become more gamer friendly

Wait what? Isn’t being gamer centric what making video games is about?

Maybe should have been posted in a lemmy.us community. This .ca is Canada isn’t it?

I wonder, it’s it free and part of their marketing plan for Witcher 4?

I am sad now that I’m not into this dark fantasy stuff.

Interesting concept. Could be a useful service to people, could also just a means to analyse player habits for marketing and game design purposes.

Is anyone using this, and has it had any positive impact for you?

They were probably thinking that by openly opposing it before it collected enough signatures, they would have given it more publicity and hence made more people sign it.

Ah, the propaganda war has started.

In the example they show DLSS doubles the frame rate from about 60 to about 120. Not bad. Of course, the inserted frames are all fake, but if they look good to the eye, that’s great!

What?

Bought it anyways now. Have played both star wars games often enough, so need a new soulslike now

Elden ring only 40% off? I feel betrayed

After 1080p60 I kind of still notice a difference, but I’m not willing to pay much more for increasing that further.

That’s a wallet containing 50€ notes

SteamDB countdown

What’s so bad about Steam Controller 1 that it desperately needs a sequel?

Oh wow! I still have to play the first game, but this looks really interesting.

Looks awesome!

I’d say everyone knows what Tetris is, so that’s a good argument for it.

Probably Minecraft.

I’m sure it was not. With specially prepared USB hardware you can read out main memory without any protection, and thus get around DRM. So they surely wanted to counter that.

Unfortunately, as long as all these storefronts sell mere subscriptions, players would suffer if any of them closes. Hence, players would benefit greatly from a monopoly that is too big too fail, since it prevents them losing games every few years when another steam/epic competitor closes doors.

I wonder if even without this law, one could claim false advertising against any subscription service that looks like a bit to own service.

Then they would need to pay everything back they ever earned if the company ever goes bankrupt. I imagine a bankrupt company doesn’t have much to pay back.

No reason has actually been given as to why. Most likely, this is coming from Netflix, who actually acquired Night School Studio back in 2021. Probably as they’re trying to pull in more people to play games under their umbrella directly on Netflix.

It’s sad that digital subscription services reserve the right to remove your subscription. If you are in EU, consider signing the Stop Killing Games Petition

The article says they are trying to save money, but wouldn’t exhibiting at Gamescom also work great as an advertisement?

Or are they afraid of some protests due to some things they did recently? Not that I would know what that would be, but just wondering.

Thinking about all the money that could be in his bank account.

Kerbal Space Program, Derail Valley, Nucleares, …

Does GDPR apply to stackoverflow? Since my data there probably does not identify me as a person?

Arguably, they could just make movement a separate kind of action in DOS as well.

There is one skill in DOS2 that grants a free movement action every turn. I use it for my backstabbing rogue, and it rocks!

Oh great! Then that is no problem at all.

If you like RPGs with difficult round-based combat and lots of story you will probably enjoy it.

So if they watermark, then this may become an issue. If you buy a game over steam for the purpose of leaking, steam or some payment provider knows your bank account. From that you can be traced down.

So to hide, a cracker would need to have a fake bank account, or live somewhere lawless like in Russia.

Still playing Divinity Original Sin 2. The sale will be over by the time I finish.
