We also learn in the FAQ that Easy Anti Cheat will be used on PC at launch

I'm sorry, but what part of that says Denuvo or DRM?

but is concerned about hosting fees for serving images to millions of people

People stopped caring about image bandwidth decades ago. Try wrangling a video-hosting problem, like PeerTube does.

(N.S.F.W.)

And paywalled.

From the FAQ:

Q: Does the game use DRM software (ie. Denuvo…)?

A: No.

What "at launch" part?

we’ll burn out from endless selection of predictable movies and other entertainment

We aren't already doing that? Even without AI, most of today's writers suck ass, and corporate meddling has stomped out risk taking. Writers have no chance to build experience with good shows with longevity. With no risk, there is no creativity.

All of the good series were ones from cable TV. Breaking Bad, Sopranos, old Star Trek, Mr. Robot, Babylon 5, House, Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones (even if it ended badly), Better Call Saul, The Expanse (which died immediately after it switched to Amazon), Gravity Falls. About the only streaming series I really enjoyed was Loki, and that only lasted two seasons. Anything else might have a good first season, but they chop out any sense of character development by making these season 6-8 episodes long. No episodic content. No character development. Just go go go towards the seasonal end goal. And then get cancelled, because they didn't get a chance to shake out the mediocre ideas and improve their direction. Can you imagine Star Trek:TNG being represented by only their first season, and then cancelled as a result of that?

All of the recent good movies were from directors that had a chance to take risks back in the 2000s, and are now given full creative control to do what they are good at. Dune was a great movie, but it simply adapted the source material, and was given enough budget and resources and creative control to Denis to produce what it needed to be. How many good directors will be left when the old guard retires?

All of the good games are from indie series now. Concord is being getting review-wrecked and shat on, while people focus more of their attention on an fucking asset-flip game about a squirrel with a gun. All of the good bigger studios are gone, fully absorbed into the Microsoft/ZeniMax/WB/EA empire. Only the first or second-time indie game developers are the ones producing good games.

Hell, at this point, maybe AI would do a better job than the shit that's out there. I doubt it, though. It's too half-baked right now.

No, they aren't. The rule on the community is not that specific:

Images of text-designs, that are barely readable due to the placement of the words or letters

Also, the stats on that community:

  • 926 subscribers
  • 7 posts in the last 3 months

Remind me again why we're creating a competing community to suck the life out of one that barely gets any posts?

Yep, that's my read as well. No idea what he's talking about.

This has to be one of the best examples.

Is "No." an over-specific denial?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

From what I’ve read they tried to combine the console and PC version into a unified single version.

JFC. Starting off with something that is cross-compatible is one thing, but trying to merge the two codebases together... that's a 2-3+ year effort, minimum.

The GPL is not a China-backed agreement. China can do whatever the fuck it wants, because that's how dictatorships roll.
