Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone
  • Yes, that's what I was referring to; I didn't mean you personally voting with your wallet, but in the broader sense. In my opinion there's little chance of having success with this method in this field.

    I'm not saying you're wrong in basing your opinion on this, but I think the sample size is very small and not necessarily indicative of future results. I'm not saying the chances are sky-high either, but I think this is the best way forward, especially right now with the campaign having received a second wind.

    If there are alternative roads to the same goal, I wouldn't be against supporting those either. I believe this is the best we have right now, that's why I've put it before friends, family etc. If you have a better idea, you should definitely do the same, but downplaying the potential of this campaign helps nobody but those in the games industry.

  • The fact that it isn't just a petition, and if successful will put the issue before EU lawmakers. I'm presenting the alternative as doing nothing because you talked about voting with your wallet, and that is essentially doing nothing.

    The reason I see this as having a higher chance of success than a legal case is the monetary limitation inherent to the latter. As far as I know there isn't a big track record of successful ECI's, so I would assume you're basing your opinions on regular petitions. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Entirely discounting the fact that the EU has a track record of consumer friendly regulation. I agree, instead of doing what has the highest chance of success, let's do nothing that could have an impact instead.

  • The end of Stop Killing Games - The Final Update. [Accursed Farms]
  • If you're specifically talking about The Crew, you're missing the point. If you're being flippant, and mean online games in general, God forbid people take an interest in the health of their hobbies.

  • DR har talt med flere iranere, der er kritiske overfor det religiøse styre: 'Jeg blev glad, da Israel angreb Iran’
  • Jeg synes det er meget naturligt. Hvis de var store fans af styret, så sad de nok i Iran.

  • The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer
  • I don't care about The Expanse, but I do care about Owlcat. I'll have to keep an eye on this one.

  • MindsEye - Official Launch Trailer | 2025
  • A trailer having a sad girl cover of a song never inspires confidence in me.

  • Plex now want to SELL your personal data
  • Here's why I still use Plex: for me Jellyfin hasn't been easy to work the way I want it to. I mostly access my media on an Nvidia Shield, and the Jellyfin Android TV app just refuses to play certain videos; I can play them if I use VLC as an external player, but not within the app itself. The more pressing issue is that Jellyfin just refuses to play 5.1 audio, and downmixes everything to stereo. I have other issues, but these are the ones that prevent me from using it.

    For me Plex just works.

  • ‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs
  • Have they released any open-world RPG's besides The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk? Witcher 1 and 2 weren't, Thronebreaker wasn't.

  • Steamdeck or....
  • Definitely, but as a counterpoint it's also much more sensible ergonomically. The Switch makes my hands hurt, the Steam Deck doesn't.

  • "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"
  • I don't care about Ciri being the main character, I like her, but I read the books and I do care about them feeling the need to make the character a witcher when this isn't the case in the books; she couldn't be a witcher nor does she need to.

    It's not like I'm writing the game off, but it's a significant departure from the books, which makes me cautious, and I feel like challenging people to "read the books," is a bit disingenuous here.

  • Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy
  • I've been pretty consistently buying Nintendo consoles, but I'm not buying this one. Not just because of this, but I challenge these assholes to brick the device I end up playing their games on.

  • Silent Hill 2 (remake) now on GOG
  • I presume they still haven't fixed the traversal stutter...

  • Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game
  • Very rarely would I be willing to spend 60 on a game. They're not getting 80 out of me unless they blow me while I play.

  • 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?
  • As long as you're running KDE, it will feel familiar to a Windows user. I started with Kubuntu which was great until I had a system update, and it completely shat itself. Wanted to try Bazzite next, but the installer wouldn't work properly, so I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and I've seen no reason to switch since.

  • Junk Store: BIG update on what is next
  • I use the Decky plugin, and paid for GOG support, but they have their work cut out for them in convincing me to pay for this. Running Heroic isn't that much of a hassle.

  • Nexus formally announce their open source cross-platform Nexus Mods App: Stardew Valley Preview
  • I tried it a month or two ago, and it just didn't work very well. If other Linux users are looking for a mod manager, I've been happy with Limo.

  • Assassin's Creed Shadows hits 2 million players, putting it on track to be the series' most successful game yet
  • I realize that, but I find it a worthless stat because the numbers are more easily massaged, which is of course partly the point. A different measurement, which paints a less flattering picture, is concurrent players on Steam. I realize that the game will pull players from other places, but comparing it to other games in the same situation doesn't render favorable results; something which Ubisoft would prefer you didn't know, as is evident by their asking Valve to obfuscate these statistics in the past.

  • Assassin's Creed Shadows hits 2 million players, putting it on track to be the series' most successful game yet
  • I'm part of the "I don't think this game is doing nearly as well as Ubisoft needs it to" "brigade," but thank you very much for slinging baseless accusations.
