Probably a good call since Bungie clearly plagiarized a lot of the art in this game from artist ANTIREAL.

It's not like this game was going to be remarkable anyway.

I feel like there was involvement with VTC's admin since that was before Lemmy had a Vote-view API for mods and they were helping get vote counts to ban people for downvoting but maybe that wasn't happening and they weren't involved. It's not really valid these days anymore since every instance now has Vote-View enabled for moderators and Lemvotes allows anyone to see votes on any post or comment in Lemmy if they so choose.

Maybe it will someday, if they think it'll make cracking harder or that there was something to gain from Windows lock-in they'd do it.

If it were up to the publishers they would force us to give them money against our will. They would shun people for choosing not to buy their games the way they shun people for pirating. Thankfully the first one is illegal and the second one is just so asinine and unreasonable that any publisher who did it would lose all respect for it. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't want these things if they could get away with it. These publishers are way more evil and greedy than many of us really give them credit for.

Fair reminder everyone, if you wish to find out easily which games have and don't have Denuvo I recommend following the Denuvo Games Curator which will tell you which ones have it and which ones used to have it. It's a great tool for avoiding these games.

Agreed, I encourage people to follow the Denuvo Curator to keep track of which ones have it and possibly even ignore the ones that do (hides them from recommendation feeds).

Was Hitler even actually a Vegetarian? I feel like I read somewhere that that was a myth and he actually did eat meat fairly often.

Yeah I don't really understand people who go there. It seems like a terrible place to be.

Too bad you're on lemmy.world and they don't federate with your server. You could DMCA your own comments on their server and claim you don't agree to their TOS. That can sometimes get the host or registrar to take the site down.

(This is legal, you OWN the copyright to the things you write, and your instance TOS only guarantees they have the right to host it, it doesn't guarantee anyone else that right.)

I almost forgot about Vegantheoryclub.org I remember controversy about them with [email protected] where one of the mods of that community was also an admin on there or had ties to the admin there and was using it to ban anyone who criticized her or downvoted her. She was posting a ton of reactionary content (some of which was misinformation) and even tried to ban LW admins from the community. They eventually booted her and she tried to use alts to add herself back but ended up getting all of them booted and then used an alt to try and create more drama.

Yeah I strongly recommend people stay away from vegantheoryclub, they're not a good instance. Their admin clearly has problems.

Can it copy the existing database structure? Like could an instance migrate and have users just login to the piefed instance as if nothing had changed? If not point remains. Migrating software later in the life cycle of the platform is a destructive process, and one done with very little purpose considering the nature of open-source software.

There's a new thread and an older pinned one in [email protected] that gives context.
