Not only that, but in GW2 they ended up doing shady stuff like locking additional equipment slots behind latest xpacs and making latest xpacs builds the best so, unless you're super-uber casual and never play group content, you're de-facto forced to buy everything they release.
Now, an MMO is very expensive to maintain so it's fine to pay for it, but the article is the most hypocritical statement I've ever seen.
I loved Gothic 1 and 2 and played them countless hours.
I watched the video linked in the article but something is off, the atmosphere doesn't feel the same, here's the original intro for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVal5HLgIys
I'm EU and we already have digital IDs in most countries, controlled by our governments and mandatory to access government and public administrations websites.
These IDs don't let websites collect more info that they already can without any IDs at all. If you think you're protected form Meta/Google/Microsoft/whatever profiling you, your IP, geo-locating you if you use a phone, just because they don't have your ID, I have a bridge to sell you.
That's not to say this thing is good, age-verification is bad and dangerous, they should educate people instead, both kids and parents. But having governments manage your ID is much less evil than giving it to private companies or baking it into an operating system.
It all comes down on how they implement this app, and the code being opensource is a good thing.
LFS is not a distro, it's a book that teaches you how to build a Linux system from the ground up.
By all means do it at least once because you can learn a lot from it, but it's not meant to be used as a daily driver, unless you have nothing else to do in your life than keeping it maintained.
sounds like it could be a hook into a system for automatically generating labels to categorize the various incident reports made in Steam multiplayer games
hints that Valve might use AI tools to summarize suspicious activity history or patterns in potentially fraudulent Steam accounts
If they train their own model, use AI only to sift through the massive amount of data to recognize patterns (something AI does very well) while leaving ALL the decision-making exclusively to humans, it won't be bad.
If they let AI take actions, well... Steam has been fun while it lasted.
I installed Void on my laptop to learn it, loving it so far.
On my gaming desktop I'm using Devuan, but I have room for additional distros so I'll definitely dual-boot Void as soon as I feel confident with the basics.
What kind of extra hoops? Or maybe it's the type of games?
Asking because I switched to Devuan on my gaming PC and I didn't need to do anything specific for games to work (Steam and Lutris).
The only exception is The Last Caretaker (UE5) that requires more recent NVIDIA drivers than those in the Debian repos, but that has nothing to do with systemd, it's Debian/Devuan being conservative with updates to guarantee stability.
My latest Ubisoft game was some Anno edition from 2010, that I still own since I got in on GOG.
Since then, only indies for me and I'm very happy about it.
Wasn't that the same purpose behind X blue badge? How did it end?
Instant unsub for me, if I ever saw it.
Make pricing tiers with different offers and let people decide if it's worth it, anything else is a scam.
Yeah it wasn't Lemmy, I had exactly the same problem while doing searches on Factorio wiki.
Solved now.
I lived very happily for 60 years without all Meta crap, I can still live without it.
After Star Citizen I'm not surprised by anything anymore.
Don't have a webcam on my desktop (main PC) and I have no intention of getting one.

I was still playing WoW when Blizzard sold a 90$ mount on the shop, NINETY $, on top of the sub and paid xpacs.
The same day it was available, half of the playerbase got it, people are just stupid.

Well deserved! It's a fantastic game.
Microslop too said they were sick of being called Microslop, how did that go?
Thank you for the transparency!

This shows how broken Youtube copyright algorithm is.
Nvidia has the power to resolve this quickly, small content creators don't.
