- this is a member only article so people are going to mention the (pay) wall
- this is about a tweet from 2020
- what does expressing overthrowing a country in 2020 have to do with c/technology?
It’s telling how you get downvoted, but someone saying the same shit about Apple in this thread gets upvoted.
I hate shitty practices like everybody else, but please keep them to the same standard.
Which is what everyone with some sense predicted, except Xitter exploded into drama from faking proof that it was directly copying Pokémon to claiming wild things like using gen AI to create the models.
These things are easily verified (or rather, debunked), but it was already too late. I lost a lot of faith in some gaming journalists as they kept perpetuating the wild takes and claims.
We’ll do this all again soon with another game and we will not learn from it.
As someone who found elementor the only thing that was working at the time - any suggestions to do better? I have no coding experience fyi
Slang words that are being subtitled wrong because the locale automatically sets to English (international) instead of English (UK) for a lot of players.
It’s in the article if you bothered to read it
Yep, I was only summarizing their angle. Here are the specifics for anyone who wants to read the source documentation: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3
The only thing that doesn’t sit right with me is developers stating Steam threatened to delist the game when they expressed wanting to sell elsewhere. I haven’t seen any proof except just the statements, but it would be weird for a developer to lie about that stuff. If anyone has any more sources on that, it would be appreciated
Still didn’t sell any data. And they completely removed OpenAI collaboration from the platform after experimenting with it.
Discord.
I will probably get downvoted because Lemmy has a hate boner for Discord, but they don’t sell any user data.
That’s exactly what they’re trying to say. It could have been cheaper if Valve didn’t have pricing clauses that doesn’t allow developers to price things cheaper elsewhere.
Great list, pretty much my childhood. I’ll add some more:
Seems like a lot of folks are not really interested in the quirky sport, so saying fans are rejoicing because of this announcement sounds like they don’t really understand why people played HL.
Its like saying Dark Souls fans rejoice because From Software announced a fitness spinoff called Yoga with Solaire. Okay actually, they might. Bad example.
It never was. It’s freedom of speech without having to fear governmental penalties, broadly speaking. Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable “speech”.

I was sooooo salty when SC III went PS2 exclusive. I mean not really but I was pretty bummed back then. Until I got a PS2 to go with my GameCube and Xbox, at least.
Soul Calibur was one of the few fighting games I really enjoyed because of the different weapons and stats they could have. It really set it apart from the other fighting games back then like DBZ, Bloody Roar, Mortal Kombat, etc.
The intro cinematics were pretty epic for their time too!
Why isn’t 32GB of RAM enough anymore? Is there anything you do with your PC that requires 64GB?
Is the level in the demo? Gonna check it out regardless, I love games that are meta and turn themselves inside out
They are just covering what a rando on Xitter is saying. Sadly this is the news cycle nowadays:
Unverified / unknown person posts a claim on X > “news” websites write a 6 paragraph article about this single post
And instead of being critical, people just gobble up anything as if it was true.
Games are art. Exhibit A:
I couldn’t read any further, so thanks for more context. I would really love it if we’d share more open articles here so there is the full context to digest and discuss
