@Shizukougames Nah, 3 for £20 would get you a few really solid PC titles in the Sold-Out range back then. Hell maybe even five... Slightly jankier titles.
Lot of the console stuff was 2 for £20 at least too
@PietroMQuadros@Kryptomightguy Biggest robot race in Who is probably what, the Mechanoids? Who are pretty decent, not dissimilar in power to a smaller Dalek empire, but they wouldn't work against the crons
@PietroMQuadros@Kryptomightguy They'd win handily, but probably don't count because they're not robots. They're battlesuits piloted by mutant space nazis. Ditto the Who universe Cybermen (Also could arguably win) are converted humans
@DCFUKSURMOM@wacksonwell@ericarrache It's usually not too expensive to grab a "For Parts" model that doesn't work, but from a quick Google it looks like removing the GPU chip specifically is a hell bastard of a job. Best bets just transplanting the whole mobo from a device with a fucked disc drive I guess
@Zach06823320@Lorgarwasright2 Oh you don't want to leave that much of yourself intact. A resourceful DEldar could probably bring you back from that if they really wanted you. No, best to take your grenades, pull the pins and hold them close. Not guaranteed, but it's the best you can do
@enzos_avrg_art@mariotwtconfess This comic is based on him being obsessed with the terrible US cartoons, which Nintendo JP obviously never gave a damn about
@Owlsayssouth@KennyLauderdal3 You probably could've setup a decent RAID 1 mirrored NAS with enough capacity for less than a year of that subscription too. I mean, before the bad times started anyway
@Dexerto 50TB isn't even all that much, why would they not store a copy on-site? For an organisation that side a 50TB NAS wouldn't be a huge burden even if you did full RAID 1 mirroring, under $10k easily if built before the AI idiots ruined everything
@LarryBundyJr@QSDXG7 I've seen Americans call our PS2 spines especially boring but honestly, their version with artworks on the spine just looks messy as hell compared to ours
@VitasVarnas@LeoSiegfried@LarryBundyJr Same, I've definitely contemplated collecting SoldOut games before, there's a lot in there which just doesn't have a digital release so that feels like a good way to get them. Can't justify the shelf space these days though
@definitelynotta@aNichiporchik Apparently not, it looks like a few people abused regional pricing on GMG and sent some keys to grey market sites. TinyBuild seems to have overreacted and nuked pretty much every GMG key despite them being official. Just brilliant practice really
@aNichiporchik So you burned a big chunk of customer goodwill because you jumped in half-cocked? Good job.
Even if there was an issue with the keys, it was incredibly poor practice to punish the users unless you were 100% sure
@SpiritMacardi@aNichiporchik From the tweet he seems to be expecting the "Shady Reseller" (aka long standing legitimate third party site GreenMamGaming) to handle that
@BVRlive@restorygame@GreenManGaming https://t.co/JTdfJCJHBU
It looks like Tiny Build are throwing a shit-fit against third party sites, that's why they've been revoked. Whether GMG was an intended target or just caught in the web I have no clue though
Unrelated 10 years later
We just revoked 649 game keys for ReStory most of which were confirmed to have been sold on shady key reseller websites. If you bought the game off shady reseller websites and lost access, contact said shady reseller website.
We identified the leak and will not be working with that part moving forward.
Also just buy games on Steam. If a deal looks too good to be true, it’s probably not true.
@aNichiporchik I'm one of the affected, I bought my copy via GreenManGaming, who I'm reasonably sure are considered a legitimate third party vendor?
Wouldn't say it was a "Deal too good to be true" situation, it was probably less than £1 less than the current price on the Steam store
