The game didn’t have DRM, they added it after ten years.

So buying games that have no DRM doesn’t mean it won’t have it later on.

Hopefully, that will not be the case as there is a anti-trust lawsuit possibly coming from DoJ and congress may pass a similar law like DMA. However, the chances are low anything will happen due the upcoming US elections. 😔

Don’t know how to feel about this one.

I would prefer Remedy expand their own IP and encourage people into thinking about Alex Casey instead.

They don’t own Max Payne, Rockstar does. They should buy it back instead of reworking this.

Especially since they can use any keyboard, like a mechanical keyboard that will feel much better than the laptops.

Given that an iPad is still a full-screen app OS, it may be easier for them to focus mainly on writing by using a dedicated writing app.

However, like many has said, involve your wife, let them pick.

The more I think about it, you're right. I edited it.

It's not the first time they banned mods like this. Nexus had the same shit storm last year when they banned Spiderman mods that tried to remove pride flags. It's mentioned in the same article here as well.

The only reason it is getting this much outrage is because of the same reason last time, this is the hottest game on the market right now, just like Spiderman was when it came out for the first time on PC.

This mod "impinge" on NexusMod's rights, it's their private service and they have the right to set conditions on it. One of which, mods cannot remove diversity.

It's as simple as that. The people can go elsewhere to find the same mod or share it among themselves.

As for Iran statement, are you serious? There are people getting murdered in USA for even being non-binary. Even "binary" people are getting shot for being inclusive. Like this one https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/21/us/california-pride-flag-shooting/index.html

You are still speaking your opinion on a private site but you don’t get to escape from consequences because others disagree with it.

Nexus Mods is a private site with their own terms of conditions. They are saying no to mods that removes diversity and it is their rights.

People can go elsewhere instead.

NexusMods is a private company with their own conditions for using their services.

You are not entitled to anything on others’ properties, including your ability to speak.

There is no freedom of speech here on lemmy.world either for you, they can restrict and block your posts from being seen by others, still their rights to do so.

It is not entirely data farming, a lot of this is due to use of heavy assets like fonts, frameworks, images, videos, etc. A lot of that is downloaded as part of loading the site initially and then the browser has to render/compute the site's use of JavaScript, CSS, etc.

Fonts and some JS assets are cached by the browsers and CDN to try to minimize redownloading it but it doesn't change the fact that average websites today are much heavier than it was back in 90s.

Nov 6th for the lazies.
