Am I the only one that reads "for now" between the lines?

It is still a corporation. Think of them like sauron in lotr, a sort of evil giant you can successfully defy with concerted effort, but you can't really defeat them without throwing the ring into mount doom (destroying capitalism and intellectual property in this case).

Great! Can we do something about kernel-level rootkits now?

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 11 points 6 months ago

That ship has sailed due to being present since release and most people being ok with an intrusive anticheat since that has an intended positive purpose.

Thank god, that was one of the more idiotic decisions in modern gaming history. Like the time the flappy bird dev took the game down right when it reached it's peak. I dunno if HD2 will really recover from this blow, that might have been the high water mark for the game. I will probably give it a whirl again sometime, though.

I mean afaik the Flappy Bird Dev felt bad about how addictive his game was and took it down because of that. Wouldn't call that idiotic.

They didnt require a psn account for Helldivers 1, I wonder why they thought it would be a good idea now.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Supposedly it was for 'player safety' which is a load of crap since steam already handles that.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago

I thought the rootkit on my computer was for that.

I don’t think I’ve seen this happen since or before ID backpedaled on adding anti-cheat to DOOM Eternal, and even backpedaled on adding an entire multiplayer mode because the players hated the anti-cheat so much.

Leave it to the communities of hell divers to force corporations to bend to their will. Fuckin awesome man.

Now this is what liberty looks like. Well done Helldivers.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Pretty impressive. Congrats

[–] Statick@programming.dev 5 points 6 months ago

Amazing news. Already changed my review! Can't wait to dive back in tomorrow.

This is blowing up my feed, and I couldn't be happier. Hopefully Sony remembers this for a while.
