xep, in Lies of P quietly adds Denuvo DRM to PC version

The DRM was added right as the game’s 72-hour early access period started, which is included as part of Lies of P‘s Deluxe Edition.

The actual work done to integrate Denuvo was far before release, of course, but it feels a bit sneaky to disclose the DRM as late as possible. I wonder if this is how it's disclosed for other games as well.

Whiney bunch of cunts. Imagine bitching about and then writing a fucking article over this waste of Internet space.

swordgeek,

This “Day After”?

(Seriously, I remember watching that movie along with everyone else I knew, back in '83. Scariest, haunting thing I’d ever seen.)

Potatos_are_not_friends, in Left 4 Dead Got A Sequel So Fast Because The First Game Was Extremely ‘Broken’

While L4D2 improved on everything in L4D… I’m still salty at a few things.

I like the L4D crew more. I like the foggy urban centers. I like how tight the world was. And I like Louis shouting, “This feels like something outta counterstrike!”

I’m gonna build a firewall!

Voyajer, in Dev Behind Highly Regarded PC Game Explains Why He Raised The Price: "Go Pirate It, I Don't Care"
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t see the problem here. If you were planning to buy it at $6 would you give up at $8?

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

Right? At that point, if you're making drama out of it, you're either pirating on misguided principle alone because you're Ayn Rand's petulant zombie, or you didn't have that money to burn anyway. Your account is at zero.

Here I was, thinking it would be some insane hike like a $12 game jumping to $50, for "pirate it, then" to even be a meaningful response. No. It's a $2 increase from...the equivalent price of chicken nuggets.

This was a painfully slow day at the newsroom.

Given the last I don't know 20 years, I truly am happy for slow news days

bhmnscmm, in Open source evolution sim Thrive has a new physics engine and big performance upgrades
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Hopefully this eventually becomes the game Spore was supposed to be.

littlebluespark,

Spore had so many of my young hopes riding on it… 🥹

edit: purchased on Steam to send $5 to the dev team just now!✌🏽

Shou,

Elysium Eclipse is much, much closer to spore. Thrive is a very different kind of game.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven’t heard of Elysian Eclipse. It definitely seems like it’s trying to fulfill the Spore concept.

Shou,

Yeah! It’s pretty much trying to finish what Maxis started.

Sigmatics, in The Price is Wrong, Bob: Only a third of PC gamers pay full price

You should only pay full price if the release quality is great. And even then, there’s a reason why is a trend. You save on hardware cost, game cost & get better quality games with extra post release content

ryven, in Steam is working on allowing you to mark a game as private and hide it from your friends (both you and Valve knows why)
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’ve had my whole profile on private for years, lmao.

Stoney_Logica1,

Same. I don’t even like taking myself off invis the minute or so it takes for my friends to see me and join me in-game.

“Concerning,” Musk added in a post on Xitter (pronounced “Shitter”).

Ep1cFac3pa1m,
@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

He’d never use a word as diplomatic as “concerning.” He’s trying to find a way to blame it on the “woke mind virus” or some other bullshit.

GhostMatter,

It’s actually been one of his catchphrases to dogwhistle fascist stuff. He just answers “Concerning.” to fake news, exaggerations or other dishonest stuff. Then he can deny he agrees or that he truly believed it. After all, he just wrote “Concerning”!

Ep1cFac3pa1m,
@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

Oh FFS. That’s straight out of the conservative bullshit playbook. “Was Obama born in Kenya? If not, why won’t he show us his long form birth certificate? We’re just asking questions!”

CoolSouthpaw, in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG

Wow. What a motherfucking piece of shit company. And Linus is also personally a piece of shit too (see screenshots below). Hope this means the end for LTT on YouTube. Note that the full thread is on Twitter here where she has responded to a few tweets that add further details.

About the first one, if it is about the woman in Taiwan, Japan or something like that that Linus told her to come by his hotel for the meet up, I'm with Linus on this story. Her accusations were extreme with no reason

Do… you know anything about Cult of the Lamb…? It already had ritual sacrifice, cannibalism, polygamy, and coprophilia before the sex update.
