    @Lexx is this legit?

    Article about Another european Far-Right political party cuddling with Russia, showing once again, that it’s the Russia, who is the biggest sponsor of Neo-Nazism in the world 🤷‍♂️

    Dunno how legit, but wouldn't surprise me in the least. Generally all the right wingers here are pro-russia for some weird reason. It's also been known for a while that far-right parties were indirectly paid by russia. There's also reports of various politicians traveling to russia from time to time. So yeah... Guess they all love russian money.

  2. Well, selling it with reasonable pricing to the local population is not the issue - that's totally fine. The issue is people abusing it a lot(?).

    My argument was about game collectors, who buy games but don't play them

    Maybe it's just me, but I think it's retarded to "collect" games on whatever online platform like that. Don't even know if you still own or have access to that stuff in 20 years. 😄

    You have to think also in a way, that people who use VPN to get some game, are mostly getting it just to own it, which in other words means, that a lot of these sales would not happen at all

    Truth told, if I'm making like 20 cents from a sale in Turky (in the past, now not anymore since regional pricing was canned there)... it doesn't really matter that they bought it. They might as well just have pirated it. In my statistics this is barely noticeable. It's probably worse, because a pirate who likes the stuff you make still could buy your game for realz. Meanwhile a person who used a VPN to buy your game for cents sure as hell will not buy it again for the real price.

    So yeah... if you plan to exploit VPN technology to buy games cheap, you might as well just pirate them directly.

  4. I dunno about all of that. The amount of money lost from piracy and exploiting VPN to buy something for cents is still quite high. Sure it's too expensive for some people... but you also don't need to buy and play every game. That said, the people I personally know who pirate every game could easily buy every game...

    Kinda curious how many of those pro-piracy devs are just talking like that in the hopes of advertisement / boosting exposition. Since, yeah, so many titles are released every day now, it probably does make sense to just go pro-piracy until more people know your name. You're likely gaining sales from this, not losing them.

    Oh, also, since piracy is so damn common, you can't really allow to piss off some people and potentially cause a ****storm on the internet.

  5. Honestly, they just took their source graphic files and didn't shrink them down on export. Then they cranked a few graphic settings up and called it a day. Calling this a "Remaster" is either hilarious or extremely dishonest, or probably both. Sure they apparently added some new game mode, but that easily could have been just a 10 bucks DLC like someone else said... of course it wouldn't sell as good as "hey look, we REMASTERED the game!"

    True Detective S4E1

    I LOVED S1, didnt finish S2 and never even started S3, so color me surprised that the S4 started out pretty good to my wife and I. This season seems to be leaning into a supernatural story but theyre only dropping one episode per week so Ill have to see how it pans out.

    S3 was actually pretty good again.

    Not exactly. I saw a report that he got the agreement to do both versions from the get-go, so he apparently set out from the beginning to film two versions of the story. So you aren't going to get fans starting a movement, but the wait for that.

    It's a good trick to make people watch the movie twice now. 😄 First time it's mediocre at best, then you hope with the directors cut it's actually going to be great... but nope. : >

    That said, I actually enjoyed the Justice League directors cut for the most of it.
