Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The official Steam page for Deep Silver and Starbreeze’s PAYDAY 3 game has been updated to show the use of this ever-controversial third-party DRM.

Bro who tf is stealing Payday let alone to play alone. What a waste of money and a fuck you to paying customers.

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's the thing, the game is already online only, why do they need anti piracy DRM on top of it?

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think it may be more anti-cheat than anti-piracy, but Denuvo in particular can fuck itself

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It`s a co-op game, who cares about cheaters?

[–] vanquesse@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

IIRC payday 2 had glacially slow progression at launch. Now what if you could simply pay some (more) money to skip those boring early levels this time around?

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Okay, so I wouldn't care, but yeah if they want to sell progression…

[–] vanquesse@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I looked into it some more and it seems there was a "shady" script you could use to grant yourself any piece of paid dlc you wanted, so The Money People probably asked how they could ensure that doesn't happen again and just didn't care about the drawbacks for regular people.

Oh believe me, people got hyphy in PD2 about mods and stuff, even HUDs and QOL mods got peoples' hackles up.

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's dumb. Those people suck. :P

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The PD2 community's fuckin' weird sometimes.

[–] jwagner7813@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The people that make money off of it's monetization. I'll have to assume they'll have some sort of season pass.

Overkill blew all their money with that WW2 spin off. And it crashed so hard there was a John Cleese shaped crater where it hit rock bottom.

They were only able to make Payday 3 with significant external investment. So basically, PD3 is going to be a gutted and whored game since those investors will get significant say what goes into the game. Denuovo just being the most obvious right now.
