On their blog they explain they initially went for a reboot, but their editor refused to finance it and wanted “just” a remaster.

So they choose to do a remake instead.

Based on what Microsoft themselves said we know: everything will be stored (except edge private session…). They specifically say they don’t do content moderation: they log everything.

Did you read the article?

Q. Cool, so hackers and malware can’t access it, right?

A. No, they can.

Q. But it’s encrypted.

A. When you’re logged into a PC and run software, things are decrypted for you. Encryption at rest only helps if somebody comes to your house and physically steals your laptop — that isn’t what criminal hackers do.

As a windows user I’m not delighted by this.

Edit: at this point you must be trolling…

Did you read the article?

This system basically do a character recognition on EVERYTHING the user is displaying and save the results in a very small file not that well protected.

The data is very small (I guess because it’s basically text?), seems easy to find. That means the history of all you did on your computer (apparently only for the last three feays by default,but well…) can be stolen at once, in a minuscule file.

I’m not an IT specialist, but I don’t see in which world this can remotely be a good idea…

I meant, it just makes things more complicated than “classic” RTS, making the pause even more helpful (giving precise order can be complicated, but I’ve only tried one control type out of two-ish)

Honestly during the campaign it’s really helpful.

Compared to the two previous games, this one require more micro management (or at least benefit from it).

And “other RTS games [requires micro management] as well, without pause”: indeed, but playing in full 3D/volume complicate things.

Edit: trying to rephrase for clarity

To be fair, thy said the one player game campaign doesn’t need it, but multiplayer did.

That’s still the case and that’s why steam is giving refund: people are basically buying the game with part missing.

Was the account linking mentionned anywhere on steam?

It’s really feels like a new condition sneaked in… Edit: apparently it was clearly stated on steam and on the first launch of the game. I really have bad skipping habits…

The “it’s to protect players against hakerzzzzz” doesn’t feel very legit.

I’d be curious to see the sale results of the games while takeling the amount of console/PC present as well as the market size during the release year.

We might have surprise about results of all the games with these parameters.

If like me you wanted the patch notes, without clicking:

FIXES

• Fixed a crash that could occur after the cinematic that plays when transitioning from Act II to Act III.

• Fixed an issue preventing you from taking a Short Rest when having added and dismissed Us with a companion party member and then loaded certain savegames.

• Fixed Us appearing at camp and near other waypoints when that didn’t make sense.

• Fixed an issue introduced in Hotfix 21 causing reduced performance on Mac.

Same here!

I had to get rid of the 2nd edition one year ago because of a contact/short issue. :(

So useful to know who was speaking in mumble/teamspeak when I had only one screen…

And the shortcut keys were useful at the time (I don’t have much use for them now).

Edit: I’ve seen the video and yes, I forgot how CLEAR the software was. It was extremely easy to set, set the shortcuts to work as you wanted.

The current new logitec soft/driver is an utter shit, buggy, extremely confusing (I gave up on trying to setup the backlight how I want it because how stupidly confusing the UI is) and crashing all the time.

Went back to it last month after a 10 years yatus.

Game still here, with a lot of changes since.

However, it’s still requiring a lot of time an commitment. And I realized that I don’t have either to give to a video game now.

I was Impressed by the Google traduction from Polish to English, the article was Was to read!

Whouah, okay so all the good things removed.

Fuck the employees I guess?

Same here. However the lack of security update + battery life ans slowness is pushing me toward a new phone.

A shame, it’s still in good condition. And that small form factor is becoming more and more rare…

The problem is that, apparently the software support is lacking.

It seems security updates are (very) slow to come.

It’s a shame because the concept is very interesting and was thinking of taking the fairphone 5 as my next phone. However the bad feedback regarding updates made me look into another model

Yeah that what I tought: if I pay, what is my guarantee you won’t collect and sell my info on top of that?

I played the first two, but not Arkham Knight.

I’ve heard a lot of good thing about the batmobile addition in it and would love to use this opportunity to test it out :)

Never touched the “shadow of…” license but heard a lot of good as well. Curious to try them out as well (even if batman probably more my thing).

Ah you ça change the data storage easily? Hmmmm thanks for pointing this out.

Hadn’t had much news on bungie since I left Destiny when discovered the hybrid cashgrab/turd that was Lightfall. Reddit was my main source of info, so leaving it for Lemmy didn’t help.

I had no idea they went trough a massive layoff.

It’s a shame, most of what I had against D2 was clearly management-related and the team feelt so talented (Arts, Gameplay, story…).
