For the price of free it still seems worth giving it a go, good to go in with low expectations though

Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn’t work if they couldn’t authenticate to your Steam account.

Ah that’s a shame, luck of the draw with one-person projects though, eh?

Simple explanation: if you have one console full of fond childhood memories then of course that’s the one you consider to be the best!

You can still play them on your GameCube or Wii though, or take copies of the discs and play them on anything that runs Dolphin

FYI if seems you can access older versions of Steam games, it’s just a bit hacky

OK, just making sure you’re aware that the reason everyone is talking about gatcha games is because they’re the ones that you brought up!

How many of the mobile games that you specifically mentioned aren’t gatcha games?

Fingers crossed!

Didn’t it already reach the threshold last year and the government (or the civil servant in charge of rejecting every petition) closed it saying that current consumer protection laws already apply?

It also launched a year or two before the ps3 and I feel like it was significantly cheaper. Xbox Live also seemed to be huge despite the cost, probably some network effect in action. I remember Gears of War being another big name they had.

In the uk I remember the 360 being huge and nobody having a ps3, but now I’m not sure I know a single person who bought an xb1 or whatever the current one is called.

That was probably one of their most sensible naming decisions

There’s a lot more description on the page now, looks like it’s had a few updates since it was last given away

I guess that comes from it being made with a game engine from 2000

OS *: Windows XP

* Starting January 1st, 2024, the Steam Client will only support Windows 10 and later versions.

Sadly you can’t just install it on win xp though

Exactly, the cheapest device is the one you already have!

FYI Lemmy already supports RSS, for instance I could add this feed to any RSS reader to follow you

I guess they’re trying to make it more integrated and covering every source they can, but something about taking an open source project and turning it into a subscription service to play the games you already bought on the computer you already bought is… not to my taste

That sounds about right. I remember the 360 being huge and nobody having a ps3, but now I’m not sure I know a single person who bought an xb1 or whatever the current one is called.

I believe that’s to get the assets (i.e. the textures, character models, etc) which are still covered by copyright and so can’t be included in the decomp projects
