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.

Thanks for the Denuvo comments, I looked it up and I am no longer interested in this gooner looking game.

For anyone else: https://whyisdenuvobad.github.io/

While I agree that Denuvo is bad, some of the information on that site is just plain wrong.

For example, it says Denuvo doesn’t work on Linux and macOS through wine which is just plain wrong. It works perfectly fine as long as you don’t keep changing wine versions or you will run out of activations for 24 hours.

Your account being disabled if you have a problem with payment methods also needs a giant [citation needed] next to it. Has this ever actually happened or is this made up?

The only thing I know is that access to the specific purchase might get blocked, if there's a payment issue. Not Steam directly, but a friend of mine once bought Diablo 3 for WoW gold on Battle.net, something happened after a while, and he lost access to the game, dunno if the other side refunded the game or whatever. All the other games still worked, but he'd have to buy D3 again to play it. I would be surprised if Steam blocks the whole account.

If they mean you buy a game, then there's a problem with payment, but they should still let you download and play, that's dumb.

The part about Steam Support being extremely slow is also old news. I think that's been a lot better for years now. I don't know if it was around the time they were forced to implement refunds, but I think that's all outsourced now, and you don't have to hope a Valve dev checks the support mailbox anymore.
