absquatulate,

I wouldn’t. There was a dev ( I forget which game, but def indie ) that said the pirated keys from those dodgy sites actually ended up costing them money, and they would’ve been happier if people just pirated the game instead if they really didn’t want to pay for it.

absquatulate,

I think it had something to do with credit card fees

Edit: found this on reddit

Grey Markets are often done by credit card scammers which results into chargebacks by the credit institute resulting in processing fees for the producer of the game or even getting them cc banned.

Edit edit: it was Factorio - arstechnica.com/…/g2a-confirms-stolen-game-key-sa…

Summary: Newspaper owned by american billionaire claims workers on the other continent should work harder.

I find it hilarious that they had to cherry pick some two-word sentences from those people to try and squeeze in the point, because otherwise their texts would’ve sounded more nuanced and we can’t have that in a hard-working society.

What is worrying though, is that europe’s share in the global market is shrinking, because at this point pretty much only they ( and to a lesser degree the US ) try to uphold somewhat higher ethical standards for the various industries. At this rate the world will be all abused workers and underwhelming products in just a couple decades.

Western countries’ relationship with russia may be more relaxed and allow for making ammends, but for any country in the east there was never a time in the past centuries when russia has not behaved lile a bully. Heck, ask any ww2 survivor in eastern europe and they’ll tell you the russian “liberator” soldier was just a pillaging and raping piece of shit, and this was when they were technically not the occupier. And this before you start discussing the horrors of russian communist imperialism. I think its quite justified to think they should not be invited to any ww2 commemorations or allowed to act like they are part of “the good guys”.

How this dickwipe managed to get in the spotlights again after what he did I’ll never understand. He’s right though, they should be called terrorists because they are. And bbc while you’re at it also call the genocide of remaining Palestinians a genocide.

Growth at all costs, ey? A shame, GFN is such a good service

absquatulate,

The negative reviews are mostly complaining about the crashes ( yes, there are a bunch of those ) and the full-realistic mode being locked behind level progression ( level 25, whuch means at least some 20h of gameplay ). But honestly i found it to be a very good rally game and definitely the best and prettiest dakar sim i ever played.

Damn, i love that word

absquatulate,

Much-needed clarifications from the dev:

Hello Subnauts,

A few of you noticed some information shared online by our publisher, KRAFTON 🕵

While some of the news is exciting, we’d like to clarify:

Early Access is not intended for release in 2024, but we plan to share a lot more information later this year!

In reference to “Games-as-a-Service,” we simply plan to continually update the game for many years to come, just like the previous two Subnautica games. Think our Early Access update model, expanded. No season passes. No battle passes. No subscription.

The game is not multiplayer-focused. Co-op will be an entirely optional way to play the game. You’ll be able to enjoy the game as a single-player.

As always, we are so proud and incredibly grateful to have such a passionate and engaged community, who love the Subnautica games deeply.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for any news about our progress on the next game.

We’re so excited to show you what we’ve been working on and hope that you love it as much as we do.

– The Subnautica Team

GTA V offline, of all things. Haven’t played it in years and found out its carpool grew quite a lot, matching the forza games and currently scratching my itch for an offline open world car game with a crapton of cars.

absquatulate,

Yeah, I’ve been playing this on and off for the past year or so. It’s a great game and the dev is nice and active in the community.

absquatulate,

Wait, Infinite Warfare qualifies as “the grand old days”? Manufactured drama much?

absquatulate,

Acti CEO reading this article: “so they want more lootboxes?! excellent!”

disclaimer: I haven’t played a CoD since maybe 4. Only read the odd review

absquatulate,

They did completely rework a bunch of gameplay systems, so bugs were to be expected. I tried a 2.0 playthrough, and while bug-wise it felt like the 1.2 days ( the death-on-boarding-delamain bug being particularly infuriating ) the gameplay changes are certainly interesting. I’m still holding off on getting PL just yet, maybe wait for a discount.

absquatulate,

Jesus christ, a whopping 500 word article just to say: “players used to be able to earn 666 currency, now the max per season will be 700. we want more!”. Is this what passes for game journalism these days?
