Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.

Incorrect. Only in a capitalist hellhole like America. In the rest of the world this would never be a problem. Just release the server code under MIT and let the community fix it. Also make sure you can manually setup a masterserver in the game itself, or implement direct connect functionality.

many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.

Same answer as before. Release the online part under the MIT license. Not your problem anymore at that point. You can still require an original game license for the game itself. We’re only talking about the server software here.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss our position with policy makers and those who have led the European Citizens Initiative in the coming months.

We, the people, have been discussing this for at least a decade now. Get over it and stop trying you capitalist pigs.

Vencord is not an app by itself. It injects into Discord.

Vesktop is a client that comes with Vencord and is much easier to maintain, especially on Linux.

Lmao.

What a joke.

I have done translations and even for my own language I often use an LLM. It’s the one thing they are actually amazing at. It’s also probably not about “anybody noticing”. It can very much be a single developer doing it on their own ChatGPT account and the QA didn’t notice it.

I really don’t care about this stuff though. The AI label should be for gen AI and not revising some text or translation imo.

Dungeon Keeper (with KeeperFX)

What about Tor hidden service gits?

Can you share more information?

Revolt to Discord is what BlueSky is to Twitter.

Just another continuation that can (and will) enshittify.

Well it’s supposed to be free. So I think making it online-only is a way to make sure nobody can just cheat and get the cosmetics.

Hey look it got EA’d

€55 is the price for a new game.

Terraria.

As an Oblivion fan, this seems like a buy for me.

Well you’re paying €55 for a graphical update.

That’s extremely overpriced.

That means they are asking so much that it wouldn’t even hurt them that much.

We should really make laws that protect consumers and makes it so game services that are shut down become opensource.

Chess.

Almost all patents are BS. At least for how they currently work. Anything longer than a few years is just selfish capitalism.

Receiving a patent after another company already made a product that would infringe that patent?

That sure sounds very legal :^)

After playing tens of games on the Switch people might want to play the tens of thousands of games on Steam.

I think Valve does a lot of work on Proton to make it work this good because of SteamOS. And that’s the main reason I say this. Because a lot of Linux gaming is possible because of the work they put into it.

That is true. But without the Steam Deck, Proton support would also be lower. And that’s the main reason why I hope that they continue their current path, because I also get a lot of enjoyment out of Proton on Ubuntu.

Microsoft desperately needs this to keep people on Windows.

But Valve doesn’t actually need the Steam Deck to retain their profits as they make most of their money trough their platform.

So I hope that they don’t just let SteamOS and SteamOS devices go away like Valve’s other stuff; the Link, Controller, SteamOS1, etc.

You’ll need to load up your images directly to the fans over Wi-Fi using a companion phone app.

Lol.

Are you the person that posts that under every Valve post here on Lemmy? Because they make no sense.

Valve is a small company in terms of employees and all of them make good money already.

They grew by not going for enshitification, and all of them know it.

You can’t really compare budgeting and advertising with 50 years ago.

Regardless of inflation, it’s hard to stand out in the flood of new stuff and information being thrown at us from every direction. You didn’t have any of that back then.

Holy shit.

I hope they opensource Dungeon Keeper.

Could be a much older dev version too.

Yes it’s kind of a scandal. And it isn’t a predefined seed. It’s spliced and most likely had changed stats and drops. It was submitted as spliced, which is allowed, but then the splices should have had the same seed, items, HP, etc. Which are all inconsistent.

I think we all know they didn’t stop Palworld because they saw it grow and wanted them to get more money first.

Very iconic voice. Sad to hear.

Hey that’s what the Irish Facebook holding company was doing.

Jagex asks membership money per character.

WoW is cheaper and even gives you 60+ character slots.

Sounds like refactoring.

PMs should take notice.

Emotions not so much.

Morals on the other hand, definitely.

To add to this;

Playing modern Windows games on Linux and SteamOS is done using Wine and Proton. Wine is available on almost every Linux distro and Proton comes* with Steam.

*You can use Proton outside of Steam but it’s quite hacky and not really needed.

Yeah I don’t see any need for desktop use, except for making a Steam console under your TV.

You can use Steam with Proton on whatever distro you want.

Lootboxes, such as the CounterStrikes lootboxes, have simply been banned in Belgium.

It’s not too hard to do it legally.

Guild Wars 2 mostly for me.

I played WoW a lot until the expansion after WotLK.

I am copyrighting the T pose for player characters and will sue everybody who ever shows it.

US rep asking for their shadow state to be respected
