If you want to own your games, buy them on GOG.

Certain clauses may be unenforceable, but not the entire EULA.

Congrats on the release!

How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.

It’s easier to make small saves for games like The Pedestrian, because essentially all you have to track is which puzzles you’ve solved.

Whereas in an RPG with a persistent world like Cyberpunk or Skyrim, you have to save the state of every single object and mechanic the player has interacted with during their run, and there are usually a whole lot of those.

What’s bad about IPv6?

The fact that this is the top comment sends a funny message about the Lemmy community as a whole.

Federated?

You’re just throwing together FOSS buzzwords at this point.

With GOG, you can at least have full confidence that the game will continue to work without any outside connections.

I didn’t say they deserve no protection at all. You are twisting my words because my opinion doesn’t align with yours.

I advocate for games having a clear indicator for any online dependencies. I do not advocate for outlawing said dependencies or mandating “offline patches”.

If you are clearly told that you’re buying an ephemeral product and you are still surprised when it shuts down, then I don’t know what to tell you.

This basically boils down to “read the terms & conditions”, which isn’t unreasonable.

If a game states in its terms that access may be revoked at any time and you buy the game, then you have no reason to be surprised when access is eventually revoked.

Obviously when terms aren’t clear enough or intentionally obfuscated, that’s indeed an issue for legislation to act upon.

All this wouldn’t be necessary if gamers would just stop buying games that are obviously live services with remote kill switches.

How else do you expect the moderators of that sub to keep out raiders and spam bots?

Didn’t take long for instancism to become a thing here, huh

And that was the end of GOG

How?

Please just use the original title. Semantic CSS is an actual thing and it takes 2 seconds to google what it is.

I’m confused. I opened the first 6 issues featured in your lemmy-ui link and you closed them all yourself?

Everyone can see your mental state degenerate in real time. You’re unable to stop yourself from flinging insults with every comment you type, be it here or in the other thread where you’re currently losing a debate.

And that’s how we know you’re out of arguments.

You’ve been unable to back up a single thing you said in this conversation with proof.

You had to walk back your accusations towards the dev, and you’re unable to actually point to the passage in the LGPL that supposedly binds the dev.

All you’re able to do at this point is call me a troll. You’re a parasite in the FOSS community who expects the work of others to be provided to them for free in perpetuity, and it pains you to realize it can be taken away from you.

What exactly did the FOSS community lose right there?

They can still use the versions that were licensed to them. The forks are right there.

However, you are not entitled to the dev distributing those versions for you.
