Mr_Karate_II 03/29/24 5:43:25 PM #1:	you'd think there'd be some legislation to protect us consumers against shit like Microsoft is currently trying to pull along with other companies. I hate to admit that I own 70+ digital games and knowing one day I can lose access to them for some arbitrary reason makes me sick. This is why I will never pay full price for a digital game or even a physical copy because even with those you still don't actually own the game, it's a license/key and nothing more. --- Michigan Wolverines 30 to Ohio state 24: 11/25/23 Michigan Wolverines Football:15-0 ,Rose Bowl Champions&National Champions <cite>Mr_Karate_II posted [p:979630865] in How do we ...

Torgo 03/29/24 5:51:33 PM #7:	Check out Ross Scott's YouTube Channel "Accursed Farms" and his Dead Game News series. Ross is currently attempting to find various legal means and methods to prevent companies from killing games through the games as a service model. Currently he is soliciting help and setting up resources to see if they can stop Ubisoft's "The Crew" from being taken away and rendered unplayable - as this is one of the earliest and most egregious cases of a "games as a service" about to go away. Just search Accursed Farms or Dead Game News on YouTube. --- Aren't we all just a series of tubes? <cite>Torgo posted [p:979630996] in How do we ...

ForsakenHermit 03/29/24 5:54:00 PM #12:	Physical media over digital distribution. The latter is a necessary evil with indie titles but if physical is an option take it. Play offline games, if you play online that opens up a can of worms on rights ownership and opens the door for always online bullshit.

PraetorXyn 03/29/24 5:57:14 PM #18:	Just buy your games on PC? Nobody to my knowledge has ever lost a copy of a digital game, or if its happened, its exceedingly rare. Tons of games get removed from Steam for various reasons, like licensing agreements running out etc. or them removing the original when they do remasters like Capcom recently did with the DMC games, etc. But if you own the games already you can still download and play them. They just remove it from sale so the only way you can buy a copy is buying a key on the secondary market from G2A etc., the same way you can only buy out-of-print physical games by paying exorbitant prices on the secondary market for them. If they do take a game you legally bought, just pirate it as youre on PC. You can also backup a Steam or GOG copy to a local server or NAS if youre exceedingly paranoid. The actual risk is games like The Crew, where you dont actually lose the copy, but the copy becomes worthless because they turned the servers off. But that affects physical copies too as far as I know. --- https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198052113750 <cite>PraetorXyn posted [p:979631095] in How do we ...

Valve: "You will lose your Steam library if you don't upgrade your operating system" You: "Nobody is losing their Steam library" Holy shit man I know you're a Steam fanboy but holy shit it's right there in their own words Nobody is losing their Steam library drama queen. Losing access to your library until you upgrade to an OS that isn't ancient and losing your library are two very different things. Try reading beyond the title next time. The company announced in a recent blog post that Steam will cease to support legacy Windows systems such as Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows. In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows. The reason for the update is due to the client's reliance on "an embedded version of Google Chrome". However, because this embedded version of Google Chrome no longer functions on earlier versions of Windows, the Steam Client will no longer function. Not only that, but future versions of the client will require different Windows features and security updates that are only accessible for Windows 10 and higher. Although support will stop in 2024, Valve strongly encourages users to upgrade to the latest Windows operating system. No where in there or in that blog post does Valve say "You will lose your Steam library if you don't upgrade your operating system." The library isn't going anywhere. It will be there when you upgrade whether it takes 2 months or 20 years. --- https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198052113750 <cite>PraetorXyn posted [p:979631777] in How do we ...
