I get people preferring one platform over another. What I don't understand is platform loyalty/tribalism. It makes no sense. Just enjoy your games!

Would be a bit weird as they own GOG.

Showing it to devs/publishers I can understand. Why would they be showing it to press though?

I encountered this at work today. I just assumed I couldn't turn it off. Will def be looking for that setting tomorrow.

Tencent....

That's all I needed to know.

My backlog consists of games I've bought because I want to play them. But because there's always something on offer I end up buying more than I can get through. So this will be a way to stop myself spending money when I already have enough games to get me through to the end of this year. If I find I'm not enjoying one of them, I'll mark it "dnf" and hide it from my library. So I've absolutely no plan to play a game if it turns out to not be any fun.

Found this video really interesting as I have a relatively large backlog myself. Fortunately not nearly as large as this one.

Personally, I've only ever considered games I own to be part of my backlog, which makes my list much more manageable. That said, I have a large number of unplayed games on both Steam and GoG. So to start I've decided to play all my GoG games first (as that is still within reach). I've promised myself not to buy any more games untill all my GoG games are either completed or marked "did not finish" due to it not being my thing.

Honestly, keeping half is pretty good.

I just switched to only buying games on GoG. Yeah, i dont have the same selection and miss out on a lot of games, but there are enough quality games on GoG to fill my backlog.

You need to consider anything and everything you post to the Fediverse to be part of a public, everlasting record. At least in it's current state, the Fediverse is not the place for privacy oriented users.

CDs in current gen physical copies aren't really much more than a license to download anyway considering many require a gigantic day 1 patch to play. So the CD doesn't really give you anything anymore (except I guess you could lend it to a friend).

Oh. Now I feel bad. I've bought keys a few times from such sites assuming they just bought them in bulk for resale ☹️

[-] alehel@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

How does this work? How are the keysellers able to make keys that cost the developer money?

For anyone who played this as a kid, this video is really fascinating. Hope he keeps it up.

I'm looking for some fun PC games I can play with my wife/nephews. I'm therefore looking for PC games that support split screen with controller support. Any genre, but preferably games that can be played by someone no older than 12. Will be playing them on a ROG Ally connected to a TV with xbox controllers. Interested in any genre.

Wondering if there are any good games out there which play like the original Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon games. Games where tactics are completely necessary to survive, and one shot will kill you.

Only looking for single player experiences.
