Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaBut it's hard to decide on a purchase when it's early access plus playing the "Proton lottery" wondering "would it work on my system too".

You can always get it, test it and refund it if it doesn't work.

Did that a few times with games that had few ProtonDB reports.

Definitely one of those I'm looking forward to.

Blender is like a charity all big names have to give money to or else people will look at them strangely.

Well, good for Blender and open source in general!

Quoting: dxmn2FA exists for a reason, if your account gets compromised because of this then it'd be wise to enable it. If you already have it for your Steam account (for trading, etc), why not enable it for all your other private accounts?

Just tried to (it was one of the few services I use where I didn't have that yet) - it won't accept any confirmation numbers sent to me via SMS. Their system is thoroughly borked.
One can only hope they'll fix it in the coming days.

I changed my password, of course, but still.

Well, might be time for another playthrough attempt.

My first one got cut short by a bug (of course), which made basically every NPC permanently hostile to me for absolutely no reason DURING a fight - and it would be 100% reproducible so reloading didn't solve anything...

Of course, I have no idea if that actually got solved by now or not.
I'd hope so, but then again, that was not even the release version but 1.03 or so.

Quoting: BeamboomYeah, the reality being as it is, I support DRM 110%. Of course I do. Especially as a software developer myself for many many years I can *totally* relate to the challenge it must be for the company to suffer a grand scale theft of their hard work and investments.

While that's true, I don't see how it applies here.
This open source project did no harm to anyone - no money was made with it and it did not allow anyone to play the game without paying for it.
Reverse engineered code is also generally not the same as the original code - unless Java, but I have my doubts Vice City was written in Java ;)

Of course, you could just download a pirated copy, and use the assets from that in order to use this project - but if you got as far as downloading a pirated copy, you already did the thing, so...

As I said, they were fully in their right to stop the project, I just completely fail to see how not doing so could have done any damage to them.

Quoting: BeamboomQuoting: scaine
It would be the kind of brain dead thinking you often see from publishers (re: DRM).
I don't think it's brain dead to defend your own intellectual property.

I don't think so, either.

I do think they are stupid to go about it in that way, but they are fully in their right to do so and anyone creating a reverse-engineering project like that should really know what they are (potentially) getting into.

The guy who created Daggerfall Unity, for example, actually contacted Bethesda beforehand (or at the beginning anyway) to check if they're fine with what he does.

Quoting: scaineI just find it weirdly funny that a title who's sole premise is to promote car theft, prostitution, drug crime, gang warfare and violence to police is now relying on a posh LA lawyer to prevent "loss of sales" due to a fan effort. It's kinda pathetic.

*insert not sure if serious emoji*
