Stop Killing Games Australian Petition - Open for Signature Until **20 May 2024** (www.aph.gov.au)

This petition is part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign led by Scott Ross (Accursed Farms), to end in Australia the practice of software licensors to render purchased software completely unusable at arbitrary points in time....

Im 100% convinced itโ€™s a velociraptor.

My thoughts exactly. Improve, have a laugh, and build it as part of the game. Similar to the Malevelon Creek stuff (I canโ€™t remember if I have the right planet there but you get the point.)

Iโ€™d be keen to post there. I recall seeing a federation whitelist mentioned on a thread ages ago to safeguard against hate videos and the likes. Might be worth looking into.

Funny enough some of the most recent reviews have been somewhat positive because of the amount of progress that they have made on the development of the game. If the game were allowed to be developed to full completion, it might be a well received game (Despite the price). Instead theyโ€™ve canned it, which is just a disgusting show of business over customers as well as being disappointing for a KSP fan.

โ€ฆelongating the toe of normal boots by as much as 5 feet (1.5 m)

Thatโ€™s excessive.

Regarding how bad BattleState Games are; I changed my email address a while back and because I have no access to the old address I cannot update my BSG account to the new address. Iโ€™ve spent months in contact with BSG and supplied them with everything short of a DNA sample but they will not update the address.

I can still access the account, but not the game, and there is no way to update the address without going through BSG support. Iโ€™ve also spoken out on their forums amongst others with the same issue with no response from BSG.

I bought 2 Edge of Darkness editions (one for my ex-partner) and yet I cannot play the game at all. Fuck BSG, good game, dogshit company.

Thatโ€™s how my requests started as well. Then they needed the email receipt and confirmation of the email address that it was sent to (which I have), then multiple types of confirmation that the old email couldnโ€™t be reactivated/accessed, then in-game information like nickname (which I changed each wipe so I donโ€™t know), then username (?) and confirmation from my bank of payment being sent. Thatโ€™s where Iโ€™m stuck. Thatโ€™s like 5 years ago and the two payment methods I possibly used at the time donโ€™t have records for it (very long story).

Thatโ€™s the point where I gave up. The game isnโ€™t worth spending any more of my time haggling with BSG support or sifting through paperwork and emails.

Itโ€™s either that or something to do with combating RMT and multiple account creation for hacking accounts.

Either way itโ€™s funny that out of the few companies Iโ€™ve had to go through this with only BSG has been so painful.

Signed! We need reform on how aging games are handled to protect ownership of paid products and the only way publishers will do that is if theyโ€™re forced to.

Everyoneโ€™s talking blocked sinuses but I took your comment to mean asthma.

While every other cave person is running down a mammoth my asthmatic ass would be dying because of pollen or dust.

As a CPAP user; when I donโ€™t use it I relate to โ€˜dying in my sleepโ€™ way too much.

All of the lemmy.world communities I follow are showing weird imo. All the posts still appear on my feed but with a single upvote and no comments.

Itโ€™s a bit of a shame because a lot of the more active communities Iโ€™m subscribed to are lemmy.world ones so itโ€™s not as easy as finding alternatives.

Yep, went through this yesterday with a friend whose PC would crash shortly after launching certain games. For example he could play League of Legends without issue but Hearts of Iron 3, 7 Days to Die, Total War: Warhammer 3 and many others experienced a lot of crash to desktop issues. After setting the wattage for the CPU no issues at all.

Drums. Drums in the deep. They are coming.

Thatโ€™s what I hate about this particular point in time. Thereโ€™s always been image manipulation but never so accessibly high quality. The amount of โ€œcool photosโ€ Iโ€™ve seen where the first comment points out a glaringly obvious (once spotted) AI mistake makes me start questioning any cool photos I come across. It sucks because thereโ€™s definitely amazing people out there making amazing stuff and my first thought now is โ€œis this generated by an algorithm?โ€
