Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Yeah, no

Their strategy has worked, their game isn't even worth the storage space for me to pirate.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Makes no difference to me, since I wasn’t interested in playing it anyway

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

So Ubisoft just sells malware now without the game wrapper. Great.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Calling denuvo malware is sort of leaning towards hyperbole (barely), but, holy shit, "monitor ram"? That's literally spyware.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's for a single player game. Who cares if people cheat.

i don't know how many years ago i got completely bored with the entire AC franchise, but it was long enough that i find this hilarious

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

AC IV Black Flag was my last one and it was pretty good. It also came out over a decade ago. At what point does it become retro?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I loved the first couple before I stopped playing games entirely for a decade. But I was a console player and didn't have to think about things like this.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And they wonder why they are flopping.

Didn’t Helldivers ditch the account linking idea before it even happened?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, only because we bullied them enough. I don't care about account linking for all-online games though. The minute you add that to single player games I get pissed off.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (4 children)

So the story has ended in origins then

Will how unfinished and buggy these games are all coming out, I’ll pick them up on sales after they have been finished and their spyware removed.

I forget the last title Ubisoft worked on that I was actually eager to play.
