@Invinium@catboyhottline I don’t know if that’s enough, DS3 outcasts DS2 even more than the fans do. I was bummed when I realised how much of it would echo 1. But in my comment I was just saying I didn’t read DS3 as angst, but moreso miyazaki going “ok heres what I woulda did” after bloodborne shipped
@catboyhottline@Invinium I’m not sure that’s fair. DS3 had no obligation to tread the same ground, DS2 barely did. They could have broken the mold but chose to abandon DS2’s deviating trajectory in favour of making DS1 2. What is there to be angsty about in a decision of your own making?
people think of preservation (positive) and piracy (negative), but they are the exact same in function. all pieces of digital media are in competition with their best versions, and if you can't offer that (which most games on steam thankfully do), you're not likely to get paid
you buy a game to give money to the developer for their effort; the license you receive is a side effect
it is only through piracy that your ownership is ever secured. most only appreciate this when the license is taken away
Denuvo properly cracked in Resident Evil: Requiem, bypasses become plug-and-play — cracked version runs faster, smoother, and uses way less VRAM and RAM https://t.co/66V5EHT5qd
