This could be solved by simply going back to the old self-hosted multiplayer model. Many older games are still running online as they can still run their own servers.

Ah well then good thing most Christians aren’t hypocrits who act in the opposite of what they preach!

That’s not how that works. It’s not “if they both were abusive”, the questions to be answered were:

Eh, that doesn’t say much. If you look at the fact that he is a Christian (as am I), our faith is very focused on not alienating anyone based on their actions and the idea that all people are redeemable.

From what I understand, that’s not how it works. The Jury found that Heard’s claim against Depp was true in one count and found that Depp’s claims against Heard were true as well. Depp won bigger because his damages were bigger. I’m not a lawyer, but I did watch several lawyers, whom I’d assume know what they are…

Are there no local used game stores in your city? I live in Omaha, NE - hardly a huge metropolis by US standards, and we have several locally owned used game stores. Lincoln, the city in the story, about about 1/4 the size of the Omaha metro and it also has several local stores

From what I read, the tricky part to the Most Favored Nation clauses is that it is illegal for two stores to enter into a MFN with each other, but since this is between the “seller”(Dev/publisher) and the “buyer”(Valve, GOG, etc) and that has little legal definition, but is generally allowed since it doesn’t impact…

Specifically, Gamer Nexus called out online headlines taking their poor battery ratings and ignoring that they had maxxed out the settings in those scenarios. The Steam Deck has options for saving battery, one being to force limit the FPS to 30 (which is fine for the resolution). If players don’t want lower resolution…

The bug gives them the ability to arbitrarily execute code on your system. This could be as your user, or if the vulnerability gives the malicious actor access to the code running in memory, direct access to the memory space that Dark Souls is running in.

Log4J was a bad vulnerability, but the bigger issue with some of those is that companies using those libraries/software with the vulnerabilities in them refuse to update after the fix is put out.

Lots of games are written in C++ (which is also what Unreal uses). C++ is an extension of the C programming language and both of those have undocumented behavior that can cause simple functions to perform in unexpected ways depending on what compiler is used to compile the code.

Things that simply can’t be tested for…

If Steam IS DRM, then so it Humble, GOG, Itch, EGS, Origin, etc.

The reality instead is that Steam is a distribution tool that offers developers optional DRM, but does not require it. If the installation method is DRM, then everything except old-school discs are DRM......

I still think the Star Wars fandom some how is still obsessed with what they expected Boba to be from a few min and a small amount of lines in small portions of two movies.

I find the timing on this suspect. That said, I work in tech (Software Engineer) and the make up of teams in general have been moving this way for years. Heck, in most of the teams I’ve been on QA is no longer a separate role, but rather a required piece of knowledge about the language you’re working in.

Heck, most…

The bigger issue isn’t that they aren’t enforcing it and more that the law was not written to account for this. Those agencies are bound to the letter of the law and that law is pretty vague. Our justice system, both Civil and Criminal, are built on an accuser bearing the the “burden of proof”. This is why you see so…

For all the mistakes that they have made, my guess is that this is partially why Valve is making the moves they’ve been making over the last 8ish years with their Linux-based push. They see Microsoft (and other companies) trying to take full control of the gaming ecosystem and Valve is trying to put things in place to…

The problem isn’t about devs supporting Linux that aren’t, it’s that they are actively taking games off the Trove that already have Linux and Mac versions.... and all of this just so they can have a Windows Client for managing downloads. It really doesn’t make a lot of sense as those games rarely get updates, so…

I really dislike these bans so much since it effectively isn’t any different than watching the show with people in the same room, but the law wasn’t written with today’s technology in mind.

In all the injustice that is rooted in White Supremacy and Racism in this county, it can be hard to remember that the Judge and Jury are bound by the written laws when determining guilt.

I think it is a mix big company not caring and local culture. I worked for a big Japanese tech company. Their culture is very much “We take pride in what we do, if you don’t like how we do it, go somewhere else”.

We are talking about the country who’s culture is so built by that mentality that it is against the law to…
