I can't understand that those games are not yet translated at least in text using the community. We have google translate and other kind of tools to do that for cheap, and communities ready to check and refine this first translation.
They can get french, spanish, deutch, swedish, etc. in couple of weeks

I won't buy due to that, I can play in english but not my teenager.

edit: but really nice to have introduce isometric view, it's my preferred view! Ô nostaligia of civilization, diablo, fallout time in isometric view (I'm too old, I go taking my pills)

this judgment doesn't introduce new troubles. It just went back backward when all games were physically distributed (we, all olds, yet sold finished game on cd or disk)... did it avoid game developers and industry to develop? I don't think so.
Remember also that you will need markets to sell those used keys (and internet connexion to activate game and survey their uses but that's yet the case on steam, galaxy, epic launcher, etc.), meaning fees. With low cost games due to sales, buying used keys may remain anecdotal excepted for those who exploited their game as long-term annuities (ie keeping the price of their games high even after years).

Company that will keep alive their games, taking into account for users will have few impact from such decision. Those that will endure it will be bullshit companies or games: they will be immediately sanctioned by a massive resale and therefore a net stop of their sale. I think it will also clean the presale promises like linux announcement.

We do that with books, comics, bluray, ... so game market benefited from few years of a monopoly created with their owned developed tools (individual keys) which has guaranteed to many actors rents, even well after the true works were finished and profitable. It is simply getting this market back into the perimeter of the law.
Indeed, this unilaterally established monopoly allowed more incomes that created a niche from which also benefited some indies. Indies collateral damages can't serve as excuse for the rest of the industry.

Quoting: PatolaAnother victim of cancel culture...

Nobody who uses the phrase "cancel culture" with a straight face can be taken seriously. Off to the kids table with you.

QED. This is a hallmark of cancel culture, there is no discussion, simply personal attacks, sometimes quite vicious ones. Some subjects cannot be discussed. Some opinions cannot be uttered. This is the new, more radical form of making something taboo. It has grave personal consequences.

That's the difference between justice and morality. We are clearly in front of a police action of thought and expression.
RMS has to resign because of morality, not because of justice and law. Morality and security before justice are two well-known ways to stop the march of humanity progress. Should we ask the skin of the lawyers who will defend the guilties in a next future, considering on the same principle acting here?

The fact:
1/ the guy seems not a consensual guy, his intransigence and unusual political view seem to bother many people
2/ He said in a restricted correspondence what he consider at time t as his number-one hypothesis. Parenthesis: He did not say that to the offended people, so even moraly he did not try to hurt to anyone.

Principle: One can be allowed to discuss and doubt about anything, even if it offends most of people. If they is wrong, anyone can rationally or legally argue against. Without such principle, we will be still living in a world where telling that our planet is round will result to be burned or in a world where journalists could not have told (then demonstrated) that US government allegations about massive death weapons in Irak to entry war were false.
Decreeing that some subjects can't be discussed due to morality is anti-freedom and Enlightenment.
We are clearly in front of the Two Minutes of Hate (1984, Orwell).

Whatever we may think about RMS, THIS IS CLEARLY A SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNT by the edge. All people involved in that will make themselves despicable and ashamed for participating in such a baseness. When their turns will come (and it will if they will get some responsibilities or public voice), if nobody helps, they may only blame themselves.

Quoting: EikeIt would be hard to fix without network. :)
Did you use a "non-free" installer? It should solve most hardware usage problems.

I tried some stuffs with usb key. Didn't know that non-free installer exists! :D

Quoting: EikeI'm still unsure. :)
Do you get a running system?
(Then I might be able to help you.)

Yes, it worked. I can see and use the desktop. But no lan/internet and ultra low resolution that I can't change. Anyway, ubuntu works on it by day-one, but I would have preferred to use debian 4 ethic and personal convictions ^^

Quoting: EikeI'm not sure if I understand the problem. Is the installer failing due to not supporting the hardware because it's too old? Or does installing work and you would like newer drivers in the running system?

If you've got hardware needing non-FLOSS drivers, there's a "non-free" installer for that.

no, I think that the kernel doesn't support this new (well..hummm not so but seems anyway) material, according to the returns from some forum replies I had.
They advised me to try newer kernel and install them by myself, but I failed (well it worked, but many other programs were down after)

Quoting: EikeFor those who don't care about the latest software, but might need a current graphics driver or kernel, there will be a buster-backports repository (like an official PPA, if you will).

Problem: I always quit the debian install for another distro 'cause those kernels coming from ages! How to get bugs and materials working with such delay on kernel! I'm pretty sure solutions exist to get those materials working (last example: a small Pc based on intel https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/128990/intel-pentium-silver-n5000-processor-4m-cache-up-to-2-70-ghz.html [External Link] -> no way to make it working -network and intel gpu-)

Solution? My two cents: I would love debian to launch two different distros: one with current-recent-running kernels and updates (at our own risks, I have the chance to store all my important data on a NAS, so I would take it) and the stable one.

problem2: As says F.Ultra, getting help on a debian install on the internet with few skills on this distro is like trying to have help with no money in another-speaking (and non-spoke) unfriendly country: no avaialble document readable directly, and when asking, either no answer or someone barking at you that you should have bought another materials :dizzy:

A "test Liam"? I think the current Liam is well enough tested that we can go with him.

U mean com(m)a matters when writing? XD
