That’s why I think the creator might be hoping to get paid for his work if he can get the publisher to re release it.

He can’t release it without being sued. But if it was leaked, he wouldn’t be responsible. They can only sue the torrents’ hosts and downloaders.

Whatever happened to that guy that completely remade H&R in a modern engine but couldn’t release it because of copyrights.

Did it ever get leaked onto torrents?

who intended to actually live in the place rather than just chart it.

Exactly. They didn’t discover it. They settled it after discovery.

single player

That’s a critical qualifier because of course if it’s an online game, it requires you to be online.

So saying EverQuest checked to see if you were online when you went online to play doesn’t make a point.

I can find an old RTS from a failed digital distribution platform a few years earlier that also seems to qualify

If you can find it, then name it?

Combine that with how lucrative MMOs

Of course if you are playing an online game it knows that you are online!

Sure we would have ended up with Steam, but maybe not as quickly. The massive success of Steam is what caused all other large shops to copy Steam. Which is how we ended up with so many different launchers

I referenced Online DRM. Can you name a single player game from before 2004 that required online DRM to play? (Not register. You needed to verify online almost every time before playing.si gle player HL2. )

Can you name a big single player game from before 2004 that required online DRM?

Because you originally couldn’t play single player HL2 without internet. They slowly backed off the DRM but it wasn’t like you needed to register once and could play forever. You needed Internet to play single player.

Ubisoft? They didn’t start their online DRM UB Play until 2009. That’s 5 years after Steam.

Neither did Maxis. I never played Sims or SimCity 3000 but Google says as late as 2013, Sims 4 didn’t have online DRM for single player mode.

I referenced DRM in the context of online DRM.

American pioneers didn’t discover that America existed. They went out with maps from earlier explorers and settled.

Can you name any online DRM single player game that came out before HL2 and was as popular as Half Life 2? I played fps’s and rts’s in 2004 and none of them required online DRM.

The Steam hate was huge on forums I frequented. (Arstechnica, Slashdot, Usenet)

I used pioneered because it has the context of one of many.

A pioneer is the name you give to people who go out and explore new things.

Apple was a pioneer in home computers. That doesn’t mean they invented the first home computer. It means they were one of the first.

Edit: since you disagree, name a single player game from before 2004 with online DRM. When HL2 came out, you could not play it without it checking online each time ( they later relaxed the always online DRM). It wasn’t registration where you enter a key once and you were fine forever.

New ones are leaked to be much more expensive.

It only makes sense to wait if you were planning on spending $2000 on a new card. The cheaper 5070 won’t be out in January.

He’s right. Everyone hated the idea of any always online DRM to play the disc you bought in a store. Steam backed off with options for a game to sometimes work offline and a pinky promise to free your games if Gaben died and the new owner decided you own nothing.

It’s weird, people hate the current DRM system for games and love Steam. Yet it was Steam that pioneered it. If Steam failed, there’s a chance we would still own games instead of them being tied to online DRM verification.

Steam is the benevolent dictator but that’s not going to last forever.

Yeah I get them mixed up.

I think you need to read it more carefully. He didn’t use a /s tag

The buttons on the Miyoo are much better. There are videos on disassembling the SP and putting tape over the buttons to try and fix them.

GarlicOS is much better on the Miyoo compared to SP stock or Muos. It’s a super quick save/power off/boot/restore so when you hit power you are back in your game but because it’s a real power off instead of sleep, you always have power. (Which is why I stopped using my Restroid.)

The SP can do save/restore but it’s slower. The power button is particularly weird. You press power, wait two seconds, light comes on, then it boots.

The only thing the SP has going for it is the form factor.

I lost my Miyoo Mini in Greece and want to buy another.

It’s noticeably better than the 35XXsp I got to replace it.

Chrono Trigger?

I’ve seen this movie!

Funny meme but let’s be serious:

Mint is where it’s at.

It should be thrown out but Elon is Trump now and Trump will make sure his platforms are protected.

He’s absolutely right. That’s why he should come work for me on his weekends. I’ll pay him $15/hr!

What? He won’t work for that? Lazy CEO.

It’s a weird argument for them to make: We are too exhausted to make a short game so instead made an entirely new full game.
