That’s very funny to me, since GTA 2 is the only GTA I have fond memories of

But then again, I was a kid so. Not exactly the most refined tastes

A single AGI could be copied into a million copies near-instantly. That would be significant

Steam does not force DRM

They probably do

It’s kinda sad how many times people have thrown out racial (and other) slurs in my games. You’d think people would have grown out of that by now

The general young population uses a fair amount of LLM services, so yes

Sure, but deadlock isn’t exactly late. And if there’s a time when you want to add more developers, then an alpha when the game is still in the early stages is the best time to do so

I mean, they’re not gonna stop developing deadlock once it comes out. It’s likely gonna be a decade long project at least. More hands won’t hurt.

It’s in closed beta right now

Maybe the Dems will finally learn that listening to their base helps

Any uncertainty would be filtered out by the scale of people answering

Because we didn’t have as good technology for higher framerates

Not only do you need better screens, but also faster processing speeds

I guess because the Gen Z comp sci students are the people who are truly fluent in computers. We were immersed in the internet and digital technology from a young age, but also had the curiosity to go beneath the surface of them, and get a real understanding of how things work. Most people just use the technology superficially, even if they have grown up with the internet and computers.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup are two examples off the top of my head. Traditional roguelikes are often open source.

Yee, you’re mot going to be hurt by open sourcing your game 5 or 10 years later. By that time practically nobody will buy your game anymore. And of the ones who still will,.they likely aren’t the ones that would even bother with looking for alternatives other than a big sale on a store page

But then, open sourcing adds to human culture, it lets others modify the game, or use it as a foundation for something new. And those things will credit you, and you will still get some extra benefit/good pr.

It’s just a good thing to do, imo.

The “extremes” here being “social justice” and “anti-social justice”

…I’m gonna side with the social justice side here.

I mean, I don’t buy a GPU for the box…

And if you have the game downloaded, you still have the files. Just as much as you have a disk.

On the other hand, disks stop being produced far sooner than digital games stop being sold/hosted.

So the issue is about having DRM, not whether it’s sold on physical media or not. Digital games don’t necessarily need to have DRM either.
