Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn't work if they couldn't authenticate to your Steam account.

Simple explanation: if you have one console full of fond childhood memories then of course that's the one you consider to be the best!

You can still play them on your GameCube or Wii though, or take copies of the discs and play them on anything that runs Dolphin

FYI if seems you can access older versions of Steam games, it's just a bit hacky

OK, just making sure you're aware that the reason everyone is talking about gatcha games is because they're the ones that you brought up!

How many of the mobile games that you specifically mentioned aren't gatcha games?

Fingers crossed!

Didn't it already reach the threshold last year and the government (or the civil servant in charge of rejecting every petition) closed it saying that current consumer protection laws already apply?

It also launched a year or two before the ps3 and I feel like it was significantly cheaper. Xbox Live also seemed to be huge despite the cost, probably some network effect in action. I remember Gears of War being another big name they had.

In the uk I remember the 360 being huge and nobody having a ps3, but now I'm not sure I know a single person who bought an xb1 or whatever the current one is called.

That was probably one of their most sensible naming decisions

FYI Lemmy already supports RSS, for instance I could add this feed to any RSS reader to follow you

 

I looked at this post in Summit and it's just showing an image post, but when I view it in the web ui there's a linked article. Have I hidden it in some setting or is Summit not showing the link?

 
 

There's a video in the description of this post which Summit can't display, the Lemmy web ui doesn't load it either but apparently it loads in other clients

 

I've seen this posted a couple of times in comments, it seems like a reasonable investigation in to the recent shit storm

I usually actively avoid engaging in anything to do with US politics as it's pointless getting depressed by an awful situation I have zero control over; this post is not about fueling arguments or making us all feel worse, just determining if a useful tech company has gone to shit (TL;DR: probably not).
