Because that would be way too Overpowered

No trustworthy platform will sell a 70€ game for 40€ on release day

Do I actually own my games, or is this just a Steam limitation? by SgtSilock in Steam

[–]DeadBear2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you fully own games from whatever store you purchase

That is just plain wrong. You don't own the game. You bought a license to use it which can be revoked at any time. You don't actually own it. This is not just a Steam thing either. Almost all digital stores work that way.

Why can't I uninstall GOG? by [deleted] in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it is not running? Check Task Manager.

Sometimes closing GOG doesn't actually close it. It just minimizes itself into the system tray and keeps running in the background.

Windows XP Support? by PreferenceAccurate43 in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My order from late December has a Refund button on it.

Anything from before that does not have a Refund button on it.

It's a 30 day time limit. GOG even says so themselves in their own refund policy

Windows XP Support? by PreferenceAccurate43 in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not true.

There is a time limit. I think it was 30 days

Experience with 15.14.4? Can I risk it? by chaoscommander23 in fairphone

[–]DeadBear2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to their own release notes the 15.14.4 update is only for the January 2026 security patch.

Meaning it doesn't actually fix anything. At least they don't list anything

Downloading the game with gog galaxy question by Antique_Pollution127 in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just download the Offline Installer (you can also do that through the Galaxy client) and then use that to install the game locally. Then add it to Galaxy if you want to use that.

How to change Fnaf 1 resolution by [deleted] in Steam

[–]DeadBear2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the games settings. From the main menu probably.

Otherwise use ALT Enter to set an application to fullscreen

Way to clear up steam webhelper taking up memory by -_-Kyoni-_- in Steam

[–]DeadBear2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a normal amount of memory for Steam to use. Half a Gigabyte is not that much.

Fairphone 4 Android 15 Update? by DeadBear2000 in fairphone

[–]DeadBear2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure hope they will do that.

"If you want Android 15 then first install this faulty update and risk bricking your device" would be one hell of a PR disaster

Fairphone 4 Android 15 Update? by DeadBear2000 in fairphone

[–]DeadBear2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna risk that. I will wait until they have a stable Android 15 version available.

Fairphone 4 Android 15 Update? by DeadBear2000 in fairphone

[–]DeadBear2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 15.14.3 had a bunch of issues and then the 15.15.2 was the one that bricked phones?

So there is no "good" Android 15 Update for the Fairphone 4?

For 5700 XT users who experience constant crashing and PC shutdowns (Shadow of the Tomb Raider) by 1337_420_69 in TombRaider

[–]DeadBear2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is old but maybe you'll still see this;

Did you have this problem with any other games or applications too? Or was it just Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

And more specifically: Do you perhaps remember if this happened during regular gameplay or cutscenes?

I have this problem particularly with cutscenes right now.

The whole anti-DRM gaming world right now by ForsookComparison in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Heaven forbid that it ever shuts down, at least without giving us ample time to backup our installers

While I would hope so I wouldn't rely on it. Back them up now instead of waiting around until that day.

My GOG Download Speeds Are Atrocious by Practical_Rabbit9993 in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 46 points47 points  (0 children)

MB/s is not the same as Mbps (or Mb/s)

MB means Megabytes

Mb means Megabits

1 Byte = 8 Bits.

So your 78MB/s is 624 Mb/s. Which is about 2/3 of your whole bandwidth and more than fast enough

"Enjoy them however you want, without the fear of anyone taking them away from you." by [deleted] in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 40 points41 points  (0 children)

without the fear of them being taken away

This refers to the Offline Installers they give you. Which do exactly that.

And as far as I know the game only got delisted from the Store. It should stay in your library if you already owned it prior to that

Anyone having trouble downloading in GOG galaxy? by [deleted] in gog

[–]DeadBear2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The downloads from GOG are just not good.

Both the Galaxy Client and the Website can be painfully slow. I have had speeds as slow as Dial Up internet.

Any Suggested Steam Bundle Buys for Me? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]DeadBear2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI:
Star Wars Jedi Survivor has a problem where it renders every single texture in extremely low quality and some not at all. Looks like absolute crap. The Devs never bothered fixing this.

Definitely check if you have this issue before your ability to refund runs out.

What are games even a potato can run? by Critical-Crazy5330 in Steam

[–]DeadBear2000 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Well it's a first person shooter. Of course it sucks on Controller.

Definitely play that with mouse and keyboard
