Den kennt er. Und er weiß, auf welcher Seite er steht.

So we are giving participation awards?

Huh?

Are you blaming them for not preserving things more than actual physical objects that you bought are preserved in your house? The whole root of the matter was people complaining about companies obsoleting or taking away games they paid for. What GOG is doing counters just that. It is now once again in your hands and your hands only to preserve and maintain your property, and if the data gets corrupted, you only have time, physics and yourself to blame.

I couldn't care less about anybody creating some kind of eternal video game archive for archaeologists of the post apocalyptic world to find. I care about if I will still be able to play the games I paid money for in 30 years, provided I keep the data and hardware. How would that last part be the store's responsibility?

Wenn du ihn schmutzig nicht wegwerfen darfst?

Abgesehen davon sind es Altkleider. Müll ist es erst nach dem Versenken in der Tonne.

Er hält sich ja selber für einen Teil der politischen Mitte, damit ist eigentlich alles gesagt.

If you don't download it, then they can remove it and it'll be gone, regardless of if you purchased it already.

Sony once put a root kit on their CDs

Ok. In theory they could have put in a kill switch. I'm choosing to trust they didn't.

The core of. (c)RPGs that makes them special is the feeling that you decide what's going to happen or at least that your choices have an effect on the world. That's the core appeal of TTRPGs and it doesn't change for video games.

Damit darfst du schmutzige Altkleider nicht einfach so wegschmeißen, sondern musst sie als Sondermüll beim Recyclinghof abgeben.

Alternativ waschen.

Since the installers are DRM free, they physically cannot. Save for breaking into your home and destroying your hard drives.

A "DRM-Free" game is only as preserved as the hard drive space you dedicate to it.

You mean, just like any pre digital purchasing game that you own on disks? Or similar to any physical object you ever bought (hard drive space / shelf space), for that matter?

They're preserving it as much as they're able to without being a government funded museum.

I honestly never used open voice chats in games, but I do miss Barrens chat.
