I get people preferring one platform over another. What I don’t understand is platform loyalty/tribalism. It makes no sense. Just enjoy your games!

Is this actually accurate though? From my understanding you had to “activate” threads access, and those who did this are those who have been counted in the numbers.

Ah, thanks for the correction.

Isn’t this a GDPR requirement if enough time passes without account activity?

How do you know if you like them if you haven’t tried them 😋?

We’ll, excuse me 🤣…

I don’t tag them with anything.

I think this is what the commenter above is getting at. You say you want to play the game, but “dnf” means “did not finish” which alludes closer to just checking it off a list.

My list is basically my library. I only buy games if I want to play them (I don’t bother redeeming free games if I don’t intend to play it). That said, just because I want to play a game doesn’t guarantee I end up enjoying it. The great perhaps is one such game. Thought it was for me, didn’t enjoy it, so won’t bother finishing it.

My backlog consists of games I’ve bought because I want to play them. But because there’s always something on offer I end up buying more than I can get through. So this will be a way to stop myself spending money when I already have enough games to get me through to the end of this year. If I find I’m not enjoying one of them, I’ll mark it “dnf” and hide it from my library. So I’ve absolutely no plan to play a game if it turns out to not be any fun.

Well, that’s just silly.

Honestly, keeping half is pretty good.

I honestly think it’s more likely they will continue to run Win 10, but without updates.

Yeah, im going with this one. Even if it takes a company a total of 5 hours work to wrap an old game in an emulator and release it on steam, it’s not going to be worth it when only 5 people buy it.

I really miss this genre. Makes me sad to see what Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six have turned into. Back when I was playing Rogue Spear, I never thought I’d ever see team Rainbow fight aliens!

Was really pleased to discover that the original Ghost Recon on GoG runs really well. Was also able to get their copy of the original Rainbow Six to work after a bit of tinkering.

I just switched to only buying games on GoG. Yeah, i dont have the same selection and miss out on a lot of games, but there are enough quality games on GoG to fill my backlog.

Yeah, but it doesn’t seem like he actually said that if you read the article.

So what games do you like?

You need to consider anything and everything you post to the Fediverse to be part of a public, everlasting record. At least in it’s current state, the Fediverse is not the place for privacy oriented users.

I just want a phpBB forum ☹️. So tired of services like discord being used as a “forum”.

Interesting. OOT is the only one I’ve continued to return to.

What flaws are you referring to (I’ve not played them myself)?
