    Minecraft has Drasl, a replacement account/authentication server which isn’t federated, but if there was demand for it, I’m sure it wouldn’t be impossible for the developers to introduce 🤔

    Minecraft and Minetest (now Luanti) let you host your own server, so you wouldn’t really gain anything from federation. Honestly, I’m not sure what benefits ActivityPub would have for games, except maybe Newgrounds-style sites.

      This guy didnt experience having a potato PC growing up.

      Even a low-end PC at the time on my birth country was pretty much expensive - 6 digits (one at 300 000) worth of our own currency

      Now I’m in southernmost Ukraine (no effects of war there) the prices are cheaper but is still pretty expensive

      In short this guy may be fun at parties - while I’m suffering on the PC prices

        Digits of currency is a completely useless measurement - typical hours of work required to buy would be universal to understand. Though “low-end PC” also varies a lot depending on who you ask.

        Pi zero is 45 mins of labour here, the zero 2 is around 75 mins. Could compile and play CDDA on those easily, no chance of playing anything else modern though. Could play some browser games. It has a whole 512MB of RAM, for comparison UT1999 recommends 32MB. Obviously, its more than powerful enough to run Doom.

          You’re saying that from a high-salary j*b perspective - most of them have low salary including ours (mine is 39 in our currency an hour) so the device costing 15000 will take 48 days (!) just to afford it

          Digits of currency is a completely useless measurement

          Words from someone richer than us

          Never reading your ragebait again. Bye

            48 days would be useful if you had specified what the device was. Units of currency without even specifying the currency is useless, 500 in one may be 4 in another.

          Even worse than you think, those can’t run - also that would need me to setup a payment service in Steam which I don’t have yet

              Can confirm, my wife’s account doesn’t have one set up because usually I just gift her games or we share through thr family settings.

            Are you shitting me? Computers are the best tool for having access to literally thousands of fucking games for free that can all run on garbage.

            My family didn’t have anything top of the line, held onto what we had for 8+ years. I had (and have) more free games than I could ever possibly play.

            There’s source ports of classic old games, there’s emulation of the hits from decades kd previous consoles and handhelds, there’s plenty of open source games out there, there’s the entire back catalog of old browser games (mostly flash) through flashpoint, US game development college students release their projects for free all the fucking time, there’s fan games for stuff like sonic, and lastly there’s easy as hell piracy.

            And by waiting or playing older stuff, you let time and other people sort out what’s good from the trash, so you can better rely on what people say is good.

            I was living out of a low powered business laptop released in 2011 until 2021. In 2018 I upgraded it to 8GB of RAM and an SSD. I gamed so damn much on that thing, just not whatever the latest popular game was. I still use it occasionally for chilling on the couch or my porch.

      I had so much hope for that but from what I could see in testing it only outputs true or false values
