Isn’t that what a MAC address is? There is a few ways to ch age it unless that’s been fixed iirc.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

You ask a “no stupid” question then try to call out an answer? Bold move cotton.

Sure you can change your phone number, it’s called spoofing, or just call your provider and get a new one, sometimes they charge sometimes they don’t. So why are you claiming it’s not possible?

People have the same phone numbers, that’s why area codes exist, that’s kinda the same thing as a provider and a MAC address, no…?

Edit well then. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6d898f12-13ae-4017-addf-c53d0ad6f2b4.jpeg

  • No, MAC addresses are not equivalent phone numbers. I can’t edit my phone number for free in 30sec to whatever I want, and I can’t send a message to a MAC address.

You sure about that?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Try to change your ip to a taken one. What’s your point?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Have you ever tried roaming with a cellphone…?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Static ips persist.

MAC addresses can be banned

Phone numbers can’t roam

Phone numbers aren’t unique (area code)

Wrong on all fronts.

Since January it’s been a requirement and has been listed on the steam store page

Although, there was some issues a couple days after launch and they paused the mandatory linking. They are just now reimplenting it after fixing the issue it seems.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Not if you refunded the purchase price of the game. Letting your payment lapse isn’t the same thing….

SchmidtGenetics ,

Crossplay is mandatory, and linking an account for crossplay was always mandatory, they had issues at launch, paused the requirement, and are now reestablishing it.

Thats kinda on them, or for Steam for selling it in their location, but they probably bypassed that to get the game.

SchmidtGenetics ,

For anyone who actually cares this was a requirement from the start they paused it due to some issues.

People need to read stuff before buying it.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

It was always required, there was an issue and they paused it.

neogaf.com/…/helldivers-2-will-require-you-to-hav…

SchmidtGenetics ,

This is also a sad look into the reality of how people buy stuff. Every single one of those complaints didn’t read the requirements. How many buy the game and can’t even run the thing as well…

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

It’s a crossplay mandatory game, if you’re a dick, PSN wants a way to block you. No different than getting VAC banned.

This isn’t steam servers, it’s Sony servers. What do you want?

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

You’re playing on Sonys servers, they need a way to enforce a ban when you are a dick. On steam if they ban your account, you make a new one, and family share the game bypassing the ban.

This is Sonys servers, it’s their rules, no different than needing a Steam account to play Steam games. This isn’t something out of the ordinary….

I’m not sticking up for or defending anything, people are just too fucking stupid to read requirements before buying things, and now you being just as stupid defending the stupid people doing this lmfao.

It’s Sonys servers, of course it requires an account….

SchmidtGenetics ,

How can they enforce a ban if you don’t link your account?

They ban your steam id and you just family share it to another free account and do the same thing.

Get your tinfoil hat off.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

What? Sony can only ban a steam id, how’s Sony supposed to know you’re family sharing to another account? And you don’t need to buy a new game to family share, that’s the entire issue.

You can bypass banning without linked accounts due to steams policies, maybe if steam would issue a vac ban for a sony ban, but people would be even more up in arms about that.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

So the only way to ban dicks is for them to have a PSN account? That ain’t it my brother.

Wow… how do they ban all your other accounts unless steam vac bans you for a Sony ban? Don’t you think that would be an entire other issue…? Get your steam if banned, make a new account and family share it, bypassing Sonys ban with now way of the knowing…. Yeah that’s a fucking problem.

Sony servers, sure, just release a server binary, let others host it and offload all infrastructure costs! Massive savings!

Uhhh… you understand the concept of this game… yeah…?

Don’t suck corporate ass man, cmon.

You couldn’t be making a bigger idiot of yourself right now.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

The most major issue is that BECAUSE they didn’t enforce a tiny part of their terms of use that is a dealbreaker for most users, those users will now be unable to refund the game due to steam’s “2 hours playtime = no refund” rule

It was required from the start, why are buying something without knowing if it will even run first? Its hilarious the amount of people defending something that’s people’s own stupidity.

Quite the sad reflection of reality unfortunately.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Abusing a system because you can’t be arsed to read something is an interesting take.

It’s interesting that providing information is always defending some corporation when it doesn’t align with your narrative……

SchmidtGenetics ,

Yeah I feel like people also forget you can still return games out of the two hour window for legit reasons. Would be a bad look for Steam to deny those refunds at least.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

I’d be interested to know if that’s Sony or steams mistake selling them in those markets. Or isn’t that developer controlled? So maybe the devs fucked up by not restricting the sales, they said they knew about Sonys requirements.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Hi

There was literally a splash screen you accepted when you loaded up the game the first time.

You have no excuse, bye.

SchmidtGenetics ,

changing the conditions

We just established this was required before launch, why are you lying?

Give your head a shake lmfao.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Isn’t gps NA specific? What good would jamming do?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Yeah the US likes naming their stuff that way.

It is of course “global” for their world wide operations.

there is 5 different sat nav’s, gps being a US gov Entity……

SchmidtGenetics ,

Could this be akin to the Birthday paradox?

SchmidtGenetics ,

Why are we defending publishers and letting them get away with using this term this way? The term should be earned for its content and quality. AAA should not mean “large studio”.

This whole “we are a AAA studio”, when they haven’t even made a game and got the business license the day before is fucking stupid as shit. Don’t use the terms the way they want it to be used.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

What are you talking about…? What other industry uses it that way? Every other industry is quality, not size. Don’t let them get away with this shit.

Don’t defend them and let them get away with this shit.

If you continue to use this incorrect term, it will become a thing, that’s what they are hedging on, people like you letting this happen. AAA means quality, they aren’t putting out quality product so they are trying to change what the term means so they look good. Way to eat that shit right up.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

What other industry uses the term that way? Every other industry is quality. AAA to refer to size…. Right….

I know that’s how the term is used, it’s just fucking wrong when every other industry uses it differently……

Don’t let them get away with this shit. You are defending them. Notice how your link even says informal……… they are trying to make it a thing, when no other industry uses that way, and other people in the industry are calling it out.

You’re trying to defend this stupid shit.

If you continue to use this incorrect term, it will become a thing, that’s what they are hedging on, people like you letting this happen. AAA means quality, they aren’t putting out quality product so they are trying to change what the term means so they look good. Way to eat that shit right up.

SchmidtGenetics ,

The AAA games they used to put out were quality games at one point. So the term was correct, now that the quality has slid they are trying to get marketing to work on their side.

And people like you letting them get away with it is how it works.

I think this is where people usually say shill and boot licker in these exchanges.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Way to explain your point with anything of substance dude….

You’re the reason why marketing works so well. Say something flashy and people will find a way to defend it and support them. Even if it’s nothing to do with anything.

SchmidtGenetics ,

So nothing but a troll defending corporations using terms how they want…? Okay. Keep using the term the way they want so it means literally nothing anymore! You are the problem, glad you made it obvious! Thanks!

SchmidtGenetics ,

And that’s how marketing wins, when everyone just rolls over and accepts it.

Nah, this is just part of a long list of shit the rest of the gaming industry is trying to reverse, stop letting this continue to happen and stop defending it.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Man that’s hilarious, if I saw that scene I would have assumed it was a play Banff National parks problems.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3027722f-4ba2-4f26-bb5c-896c20bb826c.jpeg

It’s a hot spot for Asian tourists too.

SchmidtGenetics ,

I think I also read these were usually found with treasures and with minimal or no wear, so there isn’t any evidence they were used for anything.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Waste removal is usually a premo paid job, yeah they could be paid more, but still pretty cushy pay for most of them. It’s not some minimum wage job and the entry barrier is usually high school education.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Yeah that’s pretty fair, it’s usually referred to people after point of disposal. I’ve never heard a custodian say they work in waste management for example.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Find the ones that only give you 2-3 links to go through. They used to exist for the NHL atleast.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

It’s pretty cheap to “self publish” your own book. You basically pay printing fees instead of it being covered by the publisher.

SchmidtGenetics ,

How can they have constraints? Some chips can only take a fraction of a percent increase before going to shit, while others can get 30%. Its the silicon lottery.

SchmidtGenetics ,

That’s interesting, I’ve basically flipped flopped every build I’ve done, but I don’t recall AMD having specific restrictions on my last build. It was akin to intels I thought at the time.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Ah, so a parallel would be out of the box OC graphic cards then? Amd provides the right limitations for it to be stable under most conditions while Intel says up to 30% even though 80% would reach 10% boost for example?

GPUs I imagine have the advantage of pairing chips vs mobos being roll of the dice silicon.

SchmidtGenetics , (edited )

The problem stems from the subtle ways in which language develops. It’s instinctive for us to pluralise product names in everyday conversation (Oreos, Jet Skis) or turn them into verbs (to photoshop, to tarmac). But by doing so we begin to erode the trademark. Companies can, from the outset, encourage us to use an alternative generic name; sometimes this works (Nintendo pushing the term “games console”), sometimes it almost works (Xerox’s fondness for the term “photocopying”), and sometimes it fails miserably (who has ever referred to the once-trademarked trampoline as a “rebound tumbler”?)

Nintendo had to start calling their stuff “game consoles” so their name wouldn’t be genericized to refer to all consoles. Its not always about sueing others. Theres lots of avenues they need to protect and they knew they needed to defend it from the start.

SchmidtGenetics ,

Wiki has one

SchmidtGenetics ,

Hosting the roms was the illegal part, when they stopped there was no legal basis for Nintendo to pursue them anymore.

SchmidtGenetics ,

You said they are intelligent, so what are you basing that off of than? The only real tangible thing is IQ, so yes it is a fine metric in that case.

You’re in sciences it seems, so you would be around people with supposedly higher intelligence, but at the same time… damn can they be dumb, mislabeling chemicals, thinking if they drive with the top down they can’t get sunburn since the rays can’t hit them…. Yeah smart people are dumb too, some barely pass while other fly. So there is a large discrepancy right there. Yet you are clumping them all into the same “intelligent” category.

Thats obviously extremely disingenuous, but you’re not going to see this are you?

SchmidtGenetics ,

So… what other options are there? And why are you not bringing them up to defend your point when asked?

You realize you’re making a fool of yourself and people in your field, yeah? You’re giving off a “I’m smart, why aren’t you” attitude, and that explains everything about your view.

So you going to defend and address any points? Or are you just gonna flout that you think you’re intelligent when you’re probably below the line and why you think everything is a okay….
