I’m actually very interested into Deadlock. Got an invite when the game was new and it is what I imagined SMITE would be. The game has actual hero shooter elements and third person shooter like Marvel Rivals*, paired with the genre I am trying to get into. The reason why I do not play it is, because I don’t like playing Early Access games and wait for its official launch.

* Edit: (Overwatch is first person not third, but it doesn’t actually matter)

Mine actually too. lol. But it didn’t do it for me either, at least not in the long run.

I tried to get into MOBAs multiple times. Just reinstalled Dota 2 again (previously when I was still on Windows tried LoL). I don’t know what it is, but I just cant get into and play it. I like the idea of it though.

I think Deadlock might be a “launch” title to the Steam Machine. As in advertisement, not exclusivity. Maybe they open the flood gate with the launch of the Steam Machine?

This post title has all the info I need to know. Thanks.

It doesn’t mean its 19 years in heavy production. There are several years of nothing happening.

Usually you can’t pick older versions of the game. There are cases when developers leave an older build of the game available in the Experimental tab. But that is not always the case and the developer or publisher does not have to do it. It’s not required.

I regret not to have played these Elder Scrolls games when they were new. These are really special games. At the time, I wasn’t a fan of western RPGs and leaned heavily into JRPGs. But man, I regret it.

The price cut is the only thing Tim cares about.

But what if the game was an update instead? The law does not cover this situation. Then owner of the original game could no longer access it, and only get the new version.

@iamthetot@piefed.ca Now it works for me too. Looks like a temporary issue. But it was an issue nonetheless, bound to some server.

I’ve never heard of this before. Nice to have other variations. https://www.redotengine.org/ I wonder why they forked Godot. Also they don’t like to mention it at all it seems: https://docs.redotengine.org/en/stable/about/introduction only at the bottom as

If I were a game developer, I would probably stick to Godot unless there is a really good reason for relying on this fork. One has to trust them fully.

Square is not obliged to give a free copy to all owners of the original game. Even if the game is no longer for sale.

But what if the game was an update instead? The law does not cover this situation. Then owner of the original game could no longer access it, and only get the new version. In example Counter Strike: Global Offensive was replaced by Counter Strike 2. To me having both versions accessible (Rockstar did that with GTA 5 too) is ideal.

My hope is, they will remove the launcher and SquareEnix account requirement. And make some further modifications to make the game Steam Deck verified.

Wow I just tested it. Game does not run anymore, and I get connection error. I have internet access, so probably the servers are shutdown. So the original game (what will be renamed to 2013 edition later) is unplayable. I just downloaded it and tested.

There is not really much incentive to buy a brand new Xbox console nowadays.

Would be cool if there was 3 different teams instead 2. That could work with that team size. Plus the map needs to be smaller from what I have seen and read (I didn’t play myself).

The core gameplay looks interesting, with the Apex Legends like controls (at least it looks like) and all the abilities. Generally the game looks a bit too much inspired by Apex (size of team mates and map size and the looting). I actually don’t mind if they have their own formula and brings something new or different to the table, which it seems to do.

Never buy on a promise what could be in future. But on the other hand, you will be able to play Fable on the console. It doesn’t get worse just because its not exclusive…

Yeah, that was surprising. Sounds like a joke, but it actually happened (on Amazon).

I am not talking about the IGN article, but about the link you gave me.

Just the first lines of the linked article says what I said, having a monopoly isn’t illegal on itself. Only abusing the dominance is.

Which paragraph or lines do you specifically speaking of? Its a long text, so quoting or pointing the part you refer to would be good.
