Their mandate is that they’re selling the games with a DRM free installer. If it’s delisted, you can still install that game DRM free on anything else as long as you have the files.

Get a USB stick with a cool design, put the installer on it, yeet it in a video game box, throw some box art on it, and you basically have the physical game.

If it feels like the physical game is something else entirely, but I think their mandate is being lived up to just fine :)

In Clair Obscur, convincing your fifth party member to join you had me actually cackling

Oh man. Roberta Williams well and truly is a veritable legend in the field. Mad respect for her. I hope she gets enough to get treatment (though I hate that she has to)

I think that’s entirely fair.

I do wonder how much of that money has gone to the developers themselves, and not just some executive

Heroes is a great time! I’ve introduced all my friends to it

A friend and I literally just finished Diablo II with SlashDiablo’s servers so we avoid Blizzard. It was an awesome time

Ok, I’m outta here.

All jokes aside, I would like to weigh in and say that I find the whole patenting of game mechanics to be absolutely appalling. I genuinely don’t get how this is legal, even in Japan. They filed this patent way too late for it to even make sense.

You could’ve made an argument if they patented it back in 1996, but even so… Fuck this. Imagine patenting a screen transition or something?

Erm, acktchually! I think Nintendo is pretty cringe here, not based!

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist)

Which one? I remember the Bioware Sonic game, but that was on the DS?
