  1. It wasn't a crack - it was a bypass*, a bypass that is no longer functioning. However, Denuvo, the protection scheme that protects Doom and some other games that have been "unpiratable" over the past 6 months or so, was apparently just fully cracked. *A bypass is different from a crack, in that, essentially, it simply fools the DRM into thinking everything is as it should be...whereas a crack removes or disables the DRM in its entirety. Bypasses are not considered to be real cracks, and often have issues - refer to the Titan Quest piracy debacle, where some of the DRM protections were bypassed, but some were (unknowingly to the pirates) not, leading to a game that appeared to have performance issues and was super buggy, which then lead to it getting bad early reviews and press from pirates...but in reality, it was just part of the DRM scheme trying to do its job. The new Rise of Tomb Raider bypass is not a true crack either. For now it's the only newer Denuvo game that's easily piratable.
  2. UK sales charts registered both at the bottom of top 30. And after a single week they were gone. IIRC Divinity barely broke 1 million units on PC around launch. 900k on consoles would be huge. So where did you get yours?
  3. After the flops of Wasteland and Divinity on consoles that's very surprising.
  4. It's all over gaming sites by now. And it's not like the reactions are bad.
  5. Some pre-alpha gameplay:
  6. A simple rule about fusion science: - anyone promising power production from aneutronic reaction is an outright fraud
  7. Pretty sure that Germany has way more than 4 million people between 17 and 35.
  8. Obsidian Entertainment: Survival, success and independence Publisher independence doesn't sound so rosy. I'm really surprised they could.make more money of Pillars than from contracting on AAA titles.
  9. Civilians certainly were shoot and there are even videos of tanks running over people in the streets. And west got over shooting of civilians in Egypt fairly quickly so that wasn't really the problem. Whatever force planned it simply couldn't secure the streets fast enough. If they had so little support in the army and almost no popular support in the capital this was never going to get far.
  10. IS has not claimed responsibility just yet. I wonder if this didn't start as extended suicide before turning into terrorism.
  11. You just declared other people unwittingly happy. And I doubt you know very much about them.
  12. The EU's existence came about as organically as any other political institution, nation-states included. Isn't that a bit of a stretch? IIRC EU was always pushed on by the elites.
  13. Why? This is just a black take on mass killing racist. In a odd way it shows equality is taking hold.
  14. It's a reaction to recent shootings by the police. That's pretty much what the march was about.
  15. why not? even in socialist nations, the marketplace o' ideas is the dominant paradigm. thank goodness. It's a remainder of growing European weakness on the world stage despite all the efforts to halt it.
  16. I understand celebrating some of US political and technical achievements. But their cultural and economic dominance over Europe is nothing to be happy about.
  17. Quite a bit talk of another financial crisis recently. You'd think that people got tired of fear mongering by now. Once markets understand that Brexit will end with a Norway-type deal EU can easily bounce back. But that's exactly the problem as this may be it's last chance for any serious reforms.
  18. Even beforehand there were a few articles about the class difference regarding EU vote: http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/06/britains-great-divide/ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/17/britain-working-class-revolt-eu-referendum
  19. Vote breakdown showed that leave had the strongest support among the poor and uneducated. Leave or stay, they will be economically hurt by globalization.
  20. Been done before.
  21. We will miss their EU budget contribution. Can't say the same of their political vision for the future.
  22. A bit lacking in subtlety.
  23. At least they are looking into some compromise on one-unit-per-tile nonsense.
  24. How on Earth was DoW2 a MOBA-wannabe? Cut down macro mechanics, huge hero focus, no 1v1 mode. I could go on but the trend was clear from the get go. I really hope for something much different for DoW3.
  25. If we get a RTS not a MOBA-wannabe that would be great. But judging by latest Company of Heroes I'm not too hopeful.
