And nothing of value will be lost.

On a more serious note, while they are pieces of video game history, those games are, uh, not very good.

Reminds me of EA's "surprise mechanics" defence.

I personally do like Bullet Heaven as a tag for the VS-likes. Because, yeah, those games do make you feel like you are the danmaku boss instead of the other way around.

The hypervisor bypass actually harms performance, by the way. I remember a post comparing performance in RE9 between the legit version and the actual crack, but the "legit" side of it was actually with the bypass applied, while the actual, unmodified game actually performed on par with the cracked version.

Pirates will literally use every unfair comparison they can come up with just to perpetuate FUD about Denuvo...

Quoting: STiATPocket money for an AI company.

"Pocket money" that they pretty much can't afford to spend because they're not profitable in the slightest.

You can read Ed Zitron's great articles on the economic situation of generative AI companies for a nice overview of why those companies (and genAI in general) are nothing less than a money sink. The latest one is particularly interesting: https://www.wheresyoured.at/ais-economics-dont-make-sense/ [External Link]

Quoting: r2rXI wonder if unlocking the Cosmetic Pack DLC by launching via Heroic Games Launcher would suffice, as an alternative to GOG Galaxy.

If Heroic's Galaxy implementation supports ownership checks, maybe™.

Quoting: GuestIf you consider that DRM then having to log in to their website to download it would be DRM. At some point any digital product you buy is gated behind a service you don't control. The difference to Steam is that you only have to do it once, just like downloading the offline installers.

The point of GOG is that the offline installers should be all you need to access the content you paid for. As such, having to use Galaxy to be able to access cosmetics DLCs you paid for *is* DRM.

However, they also note: "Access to Cosmetic Pack DLCs in offline mode requires launching the game via GOG Galaxy at least once".

So, DRM.

Quoting: williamjcmSame group that sued Valve back in 2019 on the subject of Steam not allowing transferring accounts or selling individual games, by the way.

While UFC-Que Choisir won the initial trial, Valve won the appeal, and the Cour de cassation (the French equivalent to the US' Supreme Court) upheld the appeal's ruling.

So you're saying France's legal system is just as corrupt as the US? That's depressing.

I feel like you're putting words in my mouth here.
