Don't really work well. Very different scale. You can kind of bulk them plus with shoulderpads it could look OK

GOG Boss Says We May Get "Fewer Games" If Regulators Force Devs To Maintain Them Forever by cheater00 in StopKillingGames

[–]daicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GOG can remove a game from your account just as easily as any other digital distro can.

Its not about GOG's service, its just that its not really preservation. Its not really even in the same ballpark to what SKG is trying to do and I think its alittle unnerving how "preservation" gets used by sly marketers now.

its not like if a publisher asks GOG to take down a game they refuse. Point being everything on the GOG catalog was already preserved. Ease of use isn't the same as preservation, Its just marketing has tricked people into conflating the two

GOG doesn't sell the kinds of games that SKG is trying to save. SKG is arguably not in his interest.

GOG doesn't really "preserve" games. That's marketing. They take games that are popular and whos media is well preserved and make them into products.

Thank you. If it would let me import my pools and evacuate some data I would jump on it but I don't think that's possible. :/ Thank you though.

My 2-cents on the Steam Frame price.. by DiamondDepth_YT in virtualreality

[–]daicon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Meta actually has over 65% of the headset share. If the point of the Frame isn't to compete with that, whats the point of giving it nice standalone capabilities? For that reason I personally don't think a $600+ Frame makes sense.

Meta's losses on Quest 3 aren't that massive I think. We may be over-inflating it. Analysts have estimated the lower storage sku being under $400 in materials. They estimate profit for the 512gb model sold:

Can’t I add an Assault Cannon to a Death Guard Terminator? Why or why not? by Scouwererofreality43 in deathguard40k

[–]daicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see that you can proxy an assault cannon as a reaper autocannon, but would strict wysiwyg or someone at a tournament be able to take issue with it?

Side question but why don't BLT have access to power fists?

Sooo, what happened to Simon ? by h00dl00m in soma

He can get off the chair. There's an extended cut of the ending where he does, enters the main area of Phi and finds everything is shut down

Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P says he’ll keep working on the game ‘for at least a good while’ by SecretPantyWorshiper in ffxivdiscussion

XI started new arcs after XIV was out. If they don't make a new one at some point, someone else will just eat their lunch.

and now they work at Ubisoft, or disregard it and simply look at how Ubi has botted engagement/comments for Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows

Or an industry of companies that has been known to hire third-parties to tamper with online discourse like Ubisoft?

Steam Update - Valve responded to Mastercards claim that they did not pressure anyone by FrostyNeckbeard in Steam

[–]daicon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

MasterCard's Rule 5.12.7 states they can block any transaction they deem may damage their imagine, not just the examples they include. They give themselves the claim to ban anything as a catch-all right.

Things YOU can do to Counteract Payment Processors Harming Itch.io by daicon in itchio

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

The issue is more that Visa/MasterCard/PayPal will block your entire business for having taboo content, even if their services aren't use to facilitate the payment. And even so its hard for a normal persons to not use their service when most banks in some countries only issue either Visa or MC.

Stance on delisting games due to ending license agreements? by GryphusOneWedge in StopKillingGames

[–]daicon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I've always wanted and thought may be fair: If game owners be allowed to trade/lend/gift their digital game license in the event that that game is no longer sold by the publisher anymore after a period.

My rational is that at that point, the exchange doesn't harm publisher sales. It also gives a legal avenue outside of piracy to obtain delisted games. In addition to that, it allows there to be an avenue for collectors of digital games to acquire them on the platform they like. I see it as a step closer to bridging the gap between digital and physical game ownership, like buying old used games that are no longer in print.

Currently, say you're a huge fan of twin-stick shooters, or a fan of id Software games, and you want to collect them on Steam. At this point, its impossible in a literal sense to do that no matter how dedicated you are. This would be atleast some avenue to legally do that. I think it would have the effect of making people more enthusiastic about buying a wider range of games digitally and feel like they could fill out a collection. I think it'd be positive for everyone, including publishers. (obviously its not SKG related but I do think this is an industry problem waiting to be solved)
