Vee living the dream.

“We’re excited for the launch of Black Myth Wukong on Xbox Series X|S and are working with Game Science to bring the game to our platforms. We can’t comment on the deals made by our partners with other platform holders, but we remain focused on making Xbox the best platform for gamers, and great games are at the center of that.”

It’s a generic copy-pasted non-response.

EULA are probably unfair due to the imbalance of rights and obligations between the parties.

This is the most important amongst the bullet points for me. Companies should not be allowed to hide shady stuff in the wall of text that you are required to accept to play the game that you have already bought.

I bought a bunch of indie games that looked cool: Alwa’s Legacy (I’m playing it right now, it’s pretty fun), Night in the woods and Phoenotopia: Awakening. I also bought Dishonored (which I played back in the days, but I’m eager to replay one of these days, alongside its DLCs).

Risky purchase of the week: King of Dragon Pass. Never heard of it, but the reviews were positive and the screens look interesting, so I decided, why not.

I also really, really wanted to buy I was a teenage exocolonist, because it’s one of my favourite games from 2022, but the GoG version still hasn’t been updated to the recent patch, and seems like it never will. Shame.

As a short person, I found this guide very useful to face problems that arise in my day-to-day life.

Whose house is that one in the last vignette? Milan’s?

Milica has drawn a lot of cool dragons! My favourite one is the vampire dragon. They are a very talented artist, probably one of my favourites.

I guess you two have something in common, then.

Were you too busy with your other garbage to click the link and read the proper full review?

Like, I know that shitting on Kotaku is a gamer’s favourite pastime, but I genuinely don’t understand what you are complaining about here. All their reviews are “unscored”, they don’t give scores anymore. It’s not like they criticized the DLC either, their review is super positive.

Damn, Enna is lucky that she’s free from Grom’s curse, because I’m not sure Grom would’ve survived the next fight.

I’ll be honest, the playtest was handled so badly and most of the changes were so lazy, that I lost all the interest in getting the new rulebooks. Not that I had any to begin with, after the OGL shitstorm.

I created revised options for the base 5e classes to play with my friends, and I’m having a lot of fun that way. I’ll pirate legally obtain these new books down the line if it becomes necessary, but me and my friends are accustomed to homebrew everything, so I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

IMO the fact that the developer is selling the game five cents cheaper on another storefront doesn’t prove that it’s bullshit. As I said, it could just be that Steam doesn’t care enough to go after them for a five cents difference, or they allowed it on that specific case after the developer sued them in 2021, or maybe who knows, it’s an entirely different reason. Calling it “bullshit” without even knowing the context is way too rushed.

I love seeing the Palismen having a life of their own outside of their duty as a witch’s companion. I wish we got to see some of this in the main series.

I’m not making shit up though, I’m literally citing the source of the article that this entire comment section is writing about.

Maybe Humble Bundle has a deal with Steam. Maybe Steam doesn’t care about going after a developer for selling a game five cents cheaper on another storefront. I don’t know, and I’m not going around accusing people of wrongdoing on the basis of some kind of conspiracy theory (“something stinks”).

If the lawsuit turns out to be fake, that’s good, and users are safe. If it turns out to be true, then great, they’ll make Steam to change their practices, just like they forced them to allow users to refund their games under certain circumstances.

I’m sure as hell not jumping into a comment section spending my time defending a multi-million dollars corporations that already overpays lawyers to do that.

(Btw I saw the game on Steam as 19,50 and forgot to check the currency; it’s actually euros on my screen and I was comparing it to the 19,95 dollars from Bundle, so yeah, my bad.)

Thank you! After leaving Reddit, browsing Lemmy was a chore and Summit changed that. I wouldn’t have stayed here if not for your app. And you kept improving it day after day, and made it available to everyone for free. I can’t express with words the respect and appreciation that I have for you and your work!

Thanks a lot for making Lemmy a better place :)

The source makes a claim that selling off platform at a lower price than Steam would get them delisted. You linked the Steam page ($19,50) and the Wolfire.com page ($19,99), so what’s your point? Reread the post.

[…] they [Steam] replied that they would remove Overgrowth from Steam if I allowed it to be sold at a lower price anywhere, even from my own website without Steam keys and without Steam’s DRM.

So why is the game still on steam then if that “cited” information was accurate?

Because Steam is the largest storefront with the biggest userbase and forfeiting those sales is a death sentence for developers.

When new video game stores were opening that charged much lower commissions than Valve, I decided that I would provide my game “Overgrowth” at a lower price to take advantage of the lower commission rates. I intended to write a blog post about the results. But when I asked Valve about this plan, they replied that they would remove Overgrowth from Steam if I allowed it to be sold at a lower price anywhere, even from my own website without Steam keys and without Steam’s DRM.

Is this the beginning of her villain arc?

Fluffy dragon! I want to hug them.
