Yay!

Things are going well.

Hoping to see France meet the milestone since that’s where the focus of the campaign was.

I wish I could sign from the UK.

Who, other than children, do not know this yet?

Their parents, new/casual games, charity shops that might want to resell, etc.

It just slaps a big bold 'haha the fuck you isn’t even in the fine print anymore’ label on a product and makes our cyberpunk dystopia a little bit more obvious, but doesn’t achieve any useful goal in terms of altering actual game design/support or consumer rights.

True, but that would make it slightly easier for offline games, games that allow for private hosting, and games with an end of life plan that would allow it. They would be able to compete more easily if they could be easily identified. That could then incentivise companies to add end of life plans.

A step in the right direction would be great. Even if it’s a small step.

I believe another alternative would be to make it completely clear that you’re getting a temporary license. You shouldn’t be able to try to make it look like you’re buying a game when you don’t then even own.

Great comment.

Not sure why Steam Play isn’t on by default.

Mario being such a big part of my childhood makes it sad that stuff takes like 100 years to enter public domain.

I wish it was 20 years.
Imagine how much easier fan games, modding, and emulation/preservation would be!

Galaxy was amazing!

I would. There’d hopefully be an exodus.

alternativeto.net Is a good place to look for software alternatives.

Have you heard of GIMP?

If that isn’t what you need; this site may help you: https://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-photoshop/

Fond memories of the Street Pass games and RPG maker FES.

Yeah. I’m talking about the sort of AI that was mentioned briefly at the end of that video. Enemy AI doesn’t need to be complex. Only optimised for enjoyment.

Interesting and funny, but still just a language model.

When games can have AI that can be indistinguishable from humans, that might not be the best thing for society, but it would make some great games.

Imagine the dating sims!

I really enjoyed Minedustry. Also, does Katawa Shoujo count?

I’ve been a Nintendo gamer most of my life and recently got a Steam Deck.

I’ve never really played or seen much of an appeal with most US studio games.

With how much many companies are trying to take power away from us, it does feel very satisfying when you find a game that’s available under a free, redistribution-permissive, license that you find very fun. Sadly, those are very few.

I haven’t played a TTRPG in a very long time. I’d like to try to find the time to learn roll20 and invite some people to play Pathfinder there. I bought a copy of Abomination Vaults a while ago.

Safari as default for “private” browsing. Otherwise Chrome.

Disagree, but won’t kill you don’t worry.

Personally, I don’t see much appeal in online fps games.
