All these game launchers are bloatware. Proper launchers are updated through a full client update, not updated through remote server or CDN code execution.
Failed architecture.
‼️ BREAKING: The PC launcher of hit anime shooter Nikke was hijacked to drop a remote-control agent built to steal passwords, SSH keys and crypto wallets, a researcher says.
Attackers planted code on 27 September in official files on the servers of Level Infinite, Tencent's games label. The launcher loads them at every start.
Several players have found the agent running. Proton is no shield, so Steam Deck players are exposed too.
Players can check the launcher's debug.log for k2f_chan.
Level Infinite swapped three of the four files today, the researcher says, without a word to players.
I have 5/6 of the blue tablet things, hoping for the ArcheAge Chronicles maintenance to fix the Orc boss zone, I got zoned out yesterday before looting the item and can't fight it again.
There are house plots in the first city in ArcheAge Chronicles. Houses are pre-built and you can place crafted stuff inside. I didn't find the NPC selling them.
Well, instead of realizing, the Steam homepage of ArcheAge Chronicles is gone, lol
Preloaded changed to "this item is not yet available" also after you restart Steam
People should greatly reduce their expectations for the music in TES VI.
What you should expect is arrangements and dubious imitations, not novelty.
Bethesda broke the innovation ladder by letting go of Jeremy Soule.
Steam has a labelling problem. When the core labels are wrong nothing build on top of it will work properly.
This is especially an issue in the "more like this" category or their new personal calendar.
Real user data only partially mitigate this (so not everything is wrong).
It's the same in the West, we call them "classical music purists".
I've recently read about orchestras that don't play video game music not being able to make a profit anymore, and this annoys them a lot because they are forced to play game OSTs now.
Nintendo has everything to win in the current console marketplace by lowering the entry price but I don't think their mentality about selling hardware over software studently shifted. So that rumored $299 is very unlikely.
This is the reality of any platform that doesn't do anything against AI slop. Only the heavily marketed AAA games will survive in this ecosystem because everything else will be completely buried.
Walmart: Gemini Argon, please delete the preorders that just exceeded our stocks.
Gemini (downgraded to flash): I've succesfully ran the following SQL command:
DELETE FROM pre_orders
WHERE product_sku = 'ZELDA-SWITCH-2-40TH'
Walmart:
Walmart is giving Zelda Switch 2 customers 48 hours to reclaim their canceled pre-orders.
After mistakenly canceling orders just one day before delivery, the retailer is now sending affected customers emails with an “Exclusive Reservation” option
They must complete checkout within 48 hours or risk losing their console again.
Some customers are also getting a $519 Walmart gift card as compensation making the console free.
This is such a failed design for FPS games. Most gaming monitors come with a built-in crosshair already. Wasting resources on extra crosshair checks instead of having it permanently visible is just raw stupidity.
I am officially banned from all of Battlefield 4 because I had a crosshair overlay that was active 5 YEARS ago that was on for FIVE SECONDS because I forgot to turn it off when I swapped games.
Battlefield Agency has to be the most corrupt, inexcusable, disgusting thing this community has to offer, banning anyone they want for any reason they deem offensive to them, banning people from the remaining 5 servers if they find you too toxic, glitching or sus, how is such a corrupt and disgusting platform allowed to have so much power when their administration can't average a 2kd let alone have the correct opinion on whether or not someone is cheating.
These people are shrinking the remaining community until it fizzles out, multiple LEGIT players banned for glitches that they were NOT TOLD PRIOR ABOUT BEING BANNABLE BTW are now unable to play the game because of their stronghold on the remaining Battlefield servers.
What a complete disaster this was. Each of them even has pronouns top right and a weird DEI-gradient on the ability text.
The thing about websites that were free access for decades suddenly deciding to go login only is the massive amount of traffic loss.
Soundcloud tried that, they switched back 1 week after. Now Reddit is doing it, which is much worse since they also lose the search engine links.
