Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn’t work if they couldn’t authenticate to your Steam account.

Simple explanation: if you have one console full of fond childhood memories then of course that’s the one you consider to be the best!

You can still play them on your GameCube or Wii though, or take copies of the discs and play them on anything that runs Dolphin

FYI if seems you can access older versions of Steam games, it’s just a bit hacky

OK, just making sure you’re aware that the reason everyone is talking about gatcha games is because they’re the ones that you brought up!

How many of the mobile games that you specifically mentioned aren’t gatcha games?

Fingers crossed!

Didn’t it already reach the threshold last year and the government (or the civil servant in charge of rejecting every petition) closed it saying that current consumer protection laws already apply?

It also launched a year or two before the ps3 and I feel like it was significantly cheaper. Xbox Live also seemed to be huge despite the cost, probably some network effect in action. I remember Gears of War being another big name they had.

In the uk I remember the 360 being huge and nobody having a ps3, but now I’m not sure I know a single person who bought an xb1 or whatever the current one is called.

That was probably one of their most sensible naming decisions

Exactly, the cheapest device is the one you already have!

I meant bad luck that you bought a machine with loud fans generally!

FYI Lemmy already supports RSS, for instance I could add this feed to any RSS reader to follow you

Ah, bad luck

I guess they’re trying to make it more integrated and covering every source they can, but something about taking an open source project and turning it into a subscription service to play the games you already bought on the computer you already bought is… not to my taste

Is it the kind you can open up and clean the fans?

That sounds about right. I remember the 360 being huge and nobody having a ps3, but now I’m not sure I know a single person who bought an xb1 or whatever the current one is called.

What do they do about devices that are still getting minor updates or fixes but not new major versions?

Say you released version 2023, 2024, and 2025, all of which are in support at the same time. It’s 2025, but your latest release might be 2023.2, which looks like it’s out of date to a user.
