Dear God, that code! Why is it all in one file? The more I read it the worse it becomes!

Thanks for clarification!

This is… a thing? I really can’t tell whether this is a step towards stability or volatility for GOG. I love the mission, I love having an alternative to stream, but it needs to last. It’s GOG financially viable? Good question, no one really knows.

Words are cheap.

Game companies: spend millions fighting cheating and cheat software.

Nvidia: here comes AI game assist!

I think the market will turn out to be the real kill-switch, possibly for Mozilla ss a whole.

Of course. Everything is for datacenters now. Thank God they don’t require oxygen.

We are, and in a way it’s hilarious. I get to experience both worlds.

Welp, that’s an opinion one can have. whatyoujustsaid.gif

Not really. These brands are hollow shells of former glory. Their output is cynical trash designed by committees to extract maximum revenue, soulless and worthless. They can all burn to the ground for all I care.

That’s literally how it works. If you run a store selling/licensing media you get to decide what’s on the shelves and what isn’t.

Going anywhere near any of Trump’s businesses is a guarantee for losses and regret. In Trump’s world there are only very few winners, basically only the ones paying for pardons. And it’ll be interesting to see if even this is worth it in the long run.

It is available on other, quite popular, stores. GOG and itch.io are household names in PC gaming.

I haven’t heard about the details, what’s your source on that?

As far as I recall, the developer said he didn’t know the actual reason for the ban.

Valve is pretty upfront about being a business first and foremost. Their customers are loyal because they consistently provide high value at reasonable prices, even though they are in a dominating position in the market. They’ve taken unpopular decisions in the past, but never any that seriously alienated a meaningful chunk of their customer base.

Based solely off the trailer I can see how a big American storefront would err on the side of caution here. There is very little to gain from carrying a game decidedly built with controversy in mind, but a lot to loose.

With the publicity around it and sales still possible through alternative stores maybe things will turn out alright for the developer in the end. “Banned” media is always in demand, after all.

No, of course not. And yet, thanks to it’s structure, obscurity, lemmy and the fediverse in general seem to be considerably less bot-infested than the commercial centralized platforms. We’ll see whether it stays this way.

The fact that real people still use this trash never fails to amaze me.

This is the reasonable way.
