Don't worry, we'll all be able to purchase the game on Switch 2, eventually. And anyone who missed it or wants to play it again will pick it up. Everybody wins, except our wallets!

Yep, I was only summarizing their angle. Here are the specifics for anyone who wants to read the source documentation: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3

The only thing that doesn't sit right with me is developers stating Steam threatened to delist the game when they expressed wanting to sell elsewhere. I haven't seen any proof except just the statements, but it would be weird for a developer to lie about that stuff. If anyone has any more sources on that, it would be appreciated

Still didn't sell any data. And they completely removed OpenAI collaboration from the platform after experimenting with it.

Discord.

I will probably get downvoted because Lemmy has a hate boner for Discord, but they don't sell any user data.

So when my gay friend invites me to come over to the gay bar for a few drinks, I should refuse because it would make them unsafe?

That's exactly what they're trying to say. It could have been cheaper if Valve didn't have pricing clauses that doesn't allow developers to price things cheaper elsewhere.

Great list, pretty much my childhood. I'll add some more:

• Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1/2
• Empire Earth 1/2
• Civilization II
• Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
• Theme Park (World?)
• Populous: The Beginning

Twelve years ago, how time flies.

I recommended anyone to read the comments to old YouTube videos like this. It's a stark difference compared to modern (meme) videos.

Total noob here but wouldn't it be possible to have an ARM device stream the content to your browser? So you got a viewport of a compatible device that shows you how it would look like?

True parity would be impossible without porting it to x86, but that would give you a glimpse if the UX is decent enough

What the fuck why did nobody try this sooner??

Idk any tech support communities, but you should try booting into BIOS to see if your storage drive is detected. If not, it probably failed (read: it's dead, fam)

You could try to see if you can reinstall the OS but if the BIOS doesn't detect the drive, I doubt the OS setup will.

While the data loss will suck, a new drive isn't very expensive. Plus if you're still on a HDD, it would be a good time to replace it with an SSD.

Care to elaborate what makes it so special? I'm intrigued and I never really play licensed games because they are usually trash
