Codestral : please reverse machine code of game crysis, setup the build environement then add campaign coop mode on the style of dying light and black ops 3. Make sure co-op is joinable from the very beginning.

OMFG just the other day I couldn’t play gta singleplayer without logging into my rockstar account, had to go through customer support to play my fucking game I “owned” on steam.

MystikIncarnate , in This company is the laughing stock of gaming right now

This is probably a big reason I don’t buy/play newer multiplayer games, especially ones that are mp only, and a big reason why I buy everything on steam and avoid other platforms.

I’ve heard of games being dropped by steam, but those that already own it, still own it and can access it on steam as normal. In the situations I’m aware of, those games eventually returned to steam later, but still.

I prefer games that are either peer to peer mp, or you can self host a server for mp. I’m not saying that I’ll always self host, but if the option is there, then I’ll never lose the ability to play the game with friends, since I only need to set up a server to play on. Since I have a homelab, setting something like that up is trivial for me, and I can shut down and delete the server afterwards when it’s no longer wanted or needed.

Everyone going crazy for the latest version of whatever battle Royale type game, laying down premium money to play on day one, and spending a lot to get buffs and cosmetics… It just seems stupid to me. No thanks.

Free to play multiplayer with the option to buy cosmetics is less bad, but still not great. You can play, enjoy some time with friends while playing the game and if it goes offline tomorrow, who cares? You didn’t pay anything for it and I’m certain there’s other options in the same vein. As long as you’re having fun, enjoy.

If I’m paying for a game, it’s probably because of the single player experience. Anything multiplayer is icing on the cake, but not motivation to buy it.

Any company that tells you to ‘get used’ to something has massively overstepped the mark.

People you buy things from are not your boss.

Unless you are addicted to them, in which case they are.

Mango , in Think about it

Wait. Take the nose off the hat. It’s her eyes!

It’s sad how consumers have zero rights when it comes to digital content. Companies can retroactively make changes, removing content legitimately bought by consumers with no repercussions. I get “not owning” but for a company to collect money for services provided and not actually provide those services will never not astound me.

idk how madden players can put so much time and money into ultimate team only for the service to end after 2 years. and they do it every single year

Same way FIFA players do and have been doing, to the tune of over 1 billion dollars since 2018.

Churbleyimyam ,

This is basically why I don’t buy anything that I don’t think I can protect from being fucked with.

That’s all ownership is really.

Nommer ,

If buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

KredeSeraf ,

Yarr, matey.

deathbird ,

Right? Call it what you will, changing terms of sale or use after taking someone’s money is wrong.

Yeah I can’t even comprehend how that just passes as totally normal these days. Make it all make sense…

Because the FTC is toothless when it comes to EULAs. You can sign your rights away by agreeing to it (which is required to play the game).

NakariLexfortaine , in This game gave me PTSD 😩

One of the first games I encountered that included my Steam handle in the opening credits. At first, I thought it was cute, acknowledge the player.

I quickly realized it was a reminder. You are always the one in control. You are always the one to pull the trigger. You are making the choice to continue, and it is always an option to walk away. To turn off the game. To try to forget.
