You mean cutscenes?

It’s possible to host your own Arma server that can handle 100 players. Ironically Arma has a Battle Royale mode. It’s not rocket science.

I bought a pledge early on. Sold it a few years later for double the price. Great investment!

Having healthy competition is a good thing and I’ve wished for a competitor to Steam for a long time until one day the monkey’s paw curled and we got Epic Game Store. To sum it up:

• Epic actively tries to introduce exclusivity deals to PC, something that goes very much against the nature of the platform. It is something we’re supposed to be above on PC and let console players deal with. PC gamers simply don’t want fragmentation in the market. We hate all the different shitty launchers publishers are making for the same reason too.
• Epic has a very hostile attitude towards Linux. Their anti cheat for example by default detects the mere fact of using Linux as a hack. For a long time if their anti cheat was included it was an absolute no go on Linux. Their store also works like crap on Linux, if at all.
• EGS lacks necessities for then to call themselves a good store like reviews, good support and refund policies, ease of mod support, wishlists, etc.
• Their UI is just plain bad.

But the main point is the first one. If they bothered making a good store they wouldn’t need to make most of PC gamers angry by introducing exclusivity deals, but they can’t be bothered to do that, so they go for hostile competition instead at the detriment of the customers.

I’m considering it. I’d probably want to know if it works well with Linux first.

Coincidentally last month I got the survey for the first time since I switched to Linux a decade ago.

Anything that isn’t Steam works like shit on Linux (mileage may vary, but that’s my experience). I find it hilarious and sad that I can get a better experience by pirating it and launch through Lutris.

Awful Awful Awful Awful

Denmark is at 87%, nice. Let’s make it reach 100%!

Here it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/169002413/grip-an-intense-futuristic-combat-racer

I vaguely remember hearing something about them wanting to try and make it without the funding but as with many failed kickstarters I just forgot about it. Great to see that it happened, I’m gonna have a good old-fashioned nostalgia trip next weekend.

Wait what!? I remember joining the Kickstarter for GRIP but it didn’t reach its target. I’ve completely forgot about the game since then.

According to Danish law they are risking 6 months of jail time (or 6 years under “particularly aggravating circumstances” but I don’t think that’s relevant), so not just money. The destroyed trophy, even though they weren’t directly aiming for it, a good lawyer might go after them on grounds of vandalism which is up to 1 year and 6 months under normal circumstances (disclaimer: I havent’t seen the video).

So far I don’t think there’s much precedence on it so it is hard to predict the outcome. Usually you wouldn’t get the highest punishment for a first offence, so if it is jail time I’d be surprised if it’s more than a month. But a jail punishment will haunt your criminal record for 5 years while a fine will stay with you for 2 years, which is actually the the worst part if you have anything but a low-level job in Denmark.
