AgentBirdnest: Oh no! If it shows up, give it to someone who doesn't have it already! I still have my original discs. I'd love to get a few copies for other people, and maybe a DRM-free backup for myself ;-)

That score is only deep-fried foods, of course! If you add bacon to that number, it suddenly explodes to over 46 million :-)

Yes, the last I heard, NOLF is tied up with legal issues. I'm not sure anyone even knows who owns it. I haven't payed any attention to that story (or any gaming-related story for that matter) since last year though.

ddickinson: it's strange all the legal issues games have, especially when it's people not knowing who actually owns the rights to it. Let's hope some day it will be on GOG for you.

Soccorro: We're talking about NOLF here! I bet Steam already has a legion of lawyers on that case!

ddickinson: Maybe not. Is the game:

1. It it a buggy and broken mess of a game?
2. Full of terrible micro-transactions?
3. Accompanied by dozens and dozens of rubbish DLCs?
4. Had developers who delete any negative reviews or criticisms?
5. Does it use only pre-made assets with no effort put into it?
6. Is it very poorly optimised?

If not, then why would Steam want it? :-D
you...you have a point there...

At least Steam has a refund policy now, so developers who make bad games will start to suffer. And Steam keeps their cut even if the game is refunded, so in many ways it's a great way for quality control without Steam having to do anything themselves, which is kind of their whole policy. :-)

It might, just look at the latest Batman game. Warner lost a lot of money over that mess. The only question is, will they improve and put some effort into games and try to actually treat their customers like customers, or will the big publishers leave and set up their own platforms, free from Steams share of the sales and their refund policy?

I see that as more likely than the big AAA companies giving a damn about customers and quality of their games. EA has done it (used their own store/client), as have a few others.

Good morning,

After a night of HoI3 (which sadly crashes every hour) and EUIV (in which I severely underestimated Poland, which led to a quick death after 3 months), I am now back to wörk.

Who's still buying AAA games from any of the big 4 (EA, Ubisoft, Sony, Microsoft)? the only thing they've been doing is rehashes and remakes. I prefer to find new games even if they are older or indie.
Only big title I bought this year was Witcher 3 and I am more than content with that.
So fuck their plattforms. There's no interesting stuff on there anyways.

I had best be making a move. I'm off to work for a flying visit, and then to do some shopping. :-)

I hope you all have a lovely day!

*goodbye hugs*

I don't think I have bought an AAA title in years, not since they all started using DRM and made horrible games. But many do seem to love them, how else would they keep going and making more games? Is CD Project a AAA developer? Does AAA refer to the type of game, or the size of the company, as I thought it referred to the big multi-billion dollar companies?

That's precisely why I did not say that Witcher 3 was a AAA title. It had more budget and advertisement than indie titles and others. It was a big title in some sense and the style of the game reminded more of a AAA title (Graphics etc.)

Good morning everybody!!

I got the results from my exams, and it was a victory on all fronts :D

That matter aside, I've been trying to mess about with wine a bit. And we had a most dashing D&D session yesterday evening.

I myself don't care for most modern games and their policies; nearly all my games are older then 2005, and then I still avoid most big titles.

money, money ruins everything. And it ruins even more in neo-Liberal countries.

Atm I'm having an eye on Paradox, CDPR and Valve titles. Everything else just barely graces my attention.

I don't own many paradox titles. I think sword of the stars was "theirs", and also supreme ruler; but that's were it ends. The big titles like crusader kings, hearts of iron and europa universalis aren't exactly my cup of tea.

If I had to pick a favorite strategy game it would stll be Kohan I ;)

Hello! I myself am doing great, thank you. Are you alright?

Still enjoying the linux, trying out some stuff in the shell (Bash in my case); especially wine related, I'm trying to get some stuff to run there ;)

And the exams turned out rather okay, a 13, 15 and 16 on 20 :D

Glad to hear that. And the exams looks really ok although it's always difficult to translate it into a system i understand ;)
I'm doing good here. Returned home for a break. Still haven't touched wine or Playonlinux yet.
