this mobile game gives daily rewards, so if I change the date and time on my phone via settings and go back to the game, it allows me to claim the next days rewards instantly. If I change the date to a month forward, it gives me the daily reward, AND a "we missed you" reward. But.. when I change the date back to normal, it detects that I've cheated the system and bans me for a few hours. Why not just prevent the cheating from the get go like other games do for this type of thing

How about the actual EULA, not some random not likely a lawyer's assessment?
and a badly written one at that
mild gust
I mean it was a review on steam tl:dring the bs let me see if I can find the place I originally found the info they posted the EULA w/ it
primal summit
A summary of an eula by a third party with a clear emotional investment is far from clear and impartial. Have you read the updated EULA?
mild gust
I had it summarized
As I cba to read their bs
Seeing as they are also owned by Take2
Not interested
Literally read the information collected
That's all their games
primal summit
I'm seeing literally none of your fearmongering in there
mild gust
How we obtain information depends on how you use the Services. For example, we collect information:
you provide directly to us, such as when you set up an account, sign-up for marketing, or contact us
about the games you play (automatically)
from third-party platforms, such as when you play our games or access our Services with third-party accounts
automatically, including through cookies and similar tracking technologies
from third parties, such as advertising networks, business partners, third party information providers, and other players
primal summit
also, that's a privacy policy, not an eula
mild gust
I mean... Not really much different in terms of when it comes to us.
They still collect our data
We had to agree to this
Why else would people be review bombing their games lol
Obviously they put a new tos in them

are you sure that statement is accurate?

Maybe because people don't wanna be fucked by their past times
Runescape tried to just do some thing really stupid
and they got review bombed and community acted out
They rolled back the idea
Now community is calm again
Just 1 example
But let's give this for another example. A rough start, but after months of work they listened to players and the games positive again. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1501750/Lords_of_the_Fallen/
They actually may sell more copies
Due to listening to players.
Shocker
primal summit
you're missing one part of the scientific principle here
evidence supporting does not imply no evidence refuting
and your absolute argument requires but one counter-example
mild gust
So a game like HeartBound that has recieved basically no updates should have support?
and not be review bombed
or a game like helldivers 2 that tried to lock thousands of people out of playing
Shouldnt be held accountable
primal summit
you're missing the point, but yes, it shouldn't be review bombed for illigitimate reasons
primal summit
Borderlands just a more recent example
and again, you provide no supporting evidence
primal summit
I'm not the one making claims warranting supporting evidence
mild gust
So one more example before I leave you to your own
Activision Blizzard: "Do you guys not have phones?"
Gearbox Software: "Do you guys not have $80?"
Oh Randy sell me that $10 minimap please! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKzQS4aQPgQ
primal summit
is that a primary source from someone involved in the company or partnership?
mild gust
Nope
Just a more recent video I saw
Most of what is on the wiki is cited w/ articles or documentations as sources.
or take twos own policy
Don't worry Epic Games is on there too lol
In 2020, Epic and its subsidiary Psyonix announced that whilst Rocket League gamers had purchased the game with full support for Linux and MacOS, this support was being withdrawn and the game would be offline only for these Operating Systems, and gamers were directed to play the game on Windows instead.[6][7] Many speculated that the change was in relation to Psyonix's acquisition by Epic Games several months earlier. At the time of acquisition Epic stated that gamers "will still be able to play Rocket League on Steam with all of the content they've previously purchased."```do you know the only reason I'm still interacting with you about this topic?
primal summit
because your spreading of obviously strong and possibly harmful information warrant supporting primary sources you refuse to give, which just perpetuates a horrible problem with modern society
mild gust
I produced a wiki w/ sources from take two themselves
But okay
You do you
This wiki is relatively new
So idk why your so critical
primal summit
but not original sources, just places that link to sources
mild gust
Also all volunteer work
primal summit
anyone reasonable should expect evidence, not claims
mild gust
K
primal summit
you are putting the burden of proof on the recipient, not the accuser
primal summit
again, not primary sources
mild gust
So no I will not install "spyware"
primal summit
do you understand the distinction?
primal summit
Yeah you clearly didn't read the privacy policy then
I saw nothing abnormal or concerning in it
primal summit
I'm done with this argument. If there is fairness and justice to be had, I hope you suffer fair and reasonable consequences for unfounded fearmongering and spreading unsupported and damaging information.
mild gust
Maybe they should respect our privacy first. I'll be happy when that occurs.
Games don't need that data never will or should.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S PRIMARILY SINGLE PLAYER
primal summit
some of it they do need for the purposes of you having an account and making in-game purchases, but I do agree some is excessive.
mild gust
No
You can have my email
That's all you deserve
Ip na
Name na
Anything else pay me for it
Sadly world doesn't work that way
and it's the opposite
primal summit
your playtime and in what way you interact with the game helps them determine what's engaging so they can make better games, so not too unreasonable
mild gust
But that can be anonymized
primal summit
my device ID? excessive
mild gust
100% agree
They can do all the data scraping anonymously though and collect data on what is engaging for their players.
primal summit
but they still have to collect it, and gdpr makes anonymized data difficult
mild gust
Like what do players like more right
primal summit
correct
primal summit
phone number? maybe tied to my mobile account for continuity across devices
primal summit
In legal speak terms
it really is
mild gust
Like how steam does it
Seems fine
Because it doesn't connect to your steam account
The data is from another "broker"
2fa
primal summit
sure, but read steam's policy, I bet they still have to collect it
mild gust
Well their broker got hacked recently
and apparently data got leaked
But steam said it's fine don't worry

Half a hour! That's how long it took to the Epic Launcher to get fully functional and operative after launch. I can easily start any project with no hassle from their folders but the launcher stays stuck longer and longer by now and I have no idea about the reasons why that's happening! Is it just on my side? Or is it a situation other people is experiencing too? It's driving me nuts! A feedback would be nice, I just need to know if I'm alone facing this... and eventually a solution if somebody experienced the very same problem and found one. Thanks in advance.

yes, no hardware raytracing but it's fine, specially for what I'm doing, mechanics mstly. But the UE editor is fine, the issue is the launcher and my understanding of the problem leads to some problem with the way the launcher authenticates, because it takes time to see the installed engine and seems to fail connecting and tries reconnecting.

exactly. We can do that if we launch the engine, not directly a project, so I don't see why we shouldn't have the very same option in the launcher

Can do by pack level instead of per asset/mesh ofc.

Even if it does, as long as that data is deleted within a reasonable period, it's all good.

The physical, I don't miss so much.
There are lots of good game dev companies now, too.
It's just that the big-wig corpos try shady stuff.
I think that before a CEO is hired for a gaming company, he should be able to prove a simple thing - He knows how to have fun.
If he can't do that, then he's too jaded, too old, too whatever to be in charge of a game dev company.

I read a nice thing about Beth from an ex-Beth dev.
Seems one of the reasons Beth isn't moving away from Creation Engine, is because they don't want to break the modding community.
I think that was nice of Todd. It's not the ONLY reason, of course, but still...

summer cedar
what about it?
mild gust
Review bombed because modders
summer cedar
Yeah, but they updated their mods anyway.
The point the dev was making was that if they changed from Creation Engine, the mod tools would be entirely broken/unusable.
It would take a lot longer to put all that functionality back in.
mild gust
Yeah then they make mods pay to use
summer cedar
So, I think it was nice of them to think of that, too.
summer cedar
Yeah then they make mods pay to use
A lot of the mods are not.
mild gust
True
unkempt hedge
I believe Todd sincerely cares abut the modding community, he knows they saved Skyrim from going doomed, but he still needs to also find the balance with the corporate side of things so he tries to make everyone happy enough but of course is tough to achieve... as old saying in my island says... there are 100 heads for 100 hats...

I'm developing a modding' friendly game using Max Bugrimov's characters because I love'em... my hope is many devs who have those characters can get involved in making the community grow as soon as the game is launched... if I manage to make it get released of course.

Well I never had my own meshes for one, and I was more or less learning it and sometimes would come across strange viewing angles which entire schools of fish disappear. I know its due to the bound box or w.e but I swear I extended it to support at least the bounds of the area I was testing
I had multiple iterations anyways and at one point I lost track of when it broke lol

yeah uses raytraces for occlusion, then the path system
in combo calculates the actual occlusion

but i do it a few minutes per concert so i have good memories
because i like rewatching does vids
pearl elk
I get why people record but at the same time I just feel theres a philosophical question about why our memories work the way they do
maybe we arnt meant to remember everything in detail, perhaps our mind needs that stimulus from the other senses to remind us. Just lots of unknowns we cant really gauge until this phone generation gets to their 80s
