It's funny in hindsight because before this game released there were so many armchair analysts saying it would be dead on arrival. Good for them.

The announcement trailer has over 61 million views so that's impressive

OW2 got way better in the past year that I'd say it's a good f2p game, it deserved all the bashing on launch but once they went back on locking heroes and actually started adding new content it's worth a play. Lemmy hates live service though so nobody is going to let you say it out loud without getting mass downvoted.

Yes, reverse engineering is totally legal. The big asterisk here is that you can't distribute any assets the company owns, so you need the original game files regardless to play the decompiled version.

Decompilation is definitely the path forward. Not only does it preserve games and allow you to play enhanced native versions, they're totally legal and won't get you into hot water. I played Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time at 60fps and it was glorious.

I'd argue their timing was very fortunate since GTA 6 got pushed to next year. That game would've dominated the popularity votes on all the GOTY shows.

Deja Vu. A lot of indie developers also had to wait months to get their Switch 1 devkits when that came out.

Why is the title worded that way, he literally was pirating. It isn't 'Suspicions' to use a MIG cartridge.

Most of the launch titles are old ports sold at full price. The article only references physical sales and again most of these games don't even have game data on the cartridge which completely ruins the point of a physical release.

At least on something like Instagram they'd be around people their age and not a mostly older men demographic posting about politics 24/7 like the Fediverse is.

Exactly, yes.

Is there any indication for the lemmy.world people to notice that the instance hosting the community is gone?

I don't think there is but I remember the lemmy devs saying they'll add a warning at some point when a community can't be reached.

Do all the other Lemmy instances keep a copy of the content from lemm.ee?

Yes, but it only keeps text and links, any images uploaded to lemm.ee will be lost. Any community in lemm.ee will still be visible but nobody outside of your instance will see anything you post there so they're effectively dead.

The next update after this one should be the official release out of early access, I can't wait!

The trailer also shows the extreme measures counterpart for Hades 2 (powered up bosses), and wow they look more punishing than the first game. The third boss being surrounded by lava will be a nightmare.

Multiple new scylla songs too, Supergiant are spoiling us.

The art isn't even the biggest issue, the playtest was already reviewing poorly before everybody discovered the art was stolen.

I'm going to be real, the Fediverse is not where you want young teens and kids to be. A lot of extreme opinions are floating around, and the Fediverse still has the occasional spamwave which could contain NSFW content.

I think you need to go to public feeds --> Add remote feed, then add the ones linked in the post

You don't say, attempting to pirate games with the MIG cartridge while you're online is suicide.

The good news is that they're only banning consoles from playing online, not bricking them like many said they would.

Where's my main man toutius sextius?

Still weird that this was supposed to release a few months after announcenent then got internally canned and totally restarted development.
