I’ve heard of everything listed in the article besides the focus of the article.

For point one: Not everyone is into boosting or retweeting. Some actually find it a bit obnoxious.

Some people I might enjoy finding to follow, friends, community members, etc, might not be ones to post anything boost worthy.

For the other points, I assume these are just artifacts of Mastodon’s federated nature? Not sure exactly.

These sorts of platforms are not designed like a Facebook profile.

Sounds like something only a small number of devs would implement. Unless they are confident they can fuck with the memory space of all games without issues. I expect a PS5 game is a bit more complicated than a saved state on an SNES.

Right?

Linux users are starting to sound like a bunch of entitled dicks. /s

The thing I think is left out is that it usually eliminates all of the casual cheaters. For many games this is a massive change in the feel and culture of the online space in the game.

But yeah, no matter what, even when the games are never on our hardware and become just video streams sold to us by the hour, cheating tools will always exist. Even if it’s just a bit of tape on your monitor.

If other federated services gain dominance, they will go the same route. And due to the same pressures. (Spam, bad actors, misbehaving servers, etc)

We already see defederation drama.

Ubisoft’s logo is the top view of a poop emoji.

I never got into Pokemon. I knew one day I would be proven right.

Yeah, I’m pointing to the obliviousness of the whole thing. It’s really strange. It’s not like Microsoft just pulled off their mask with Windows 11.

I agree. People don’t want to face the truth. For the decades that the “PCMR” meme has existed, it’s all been about supporting Microsoft.

Sure, recently, the steam deck and Valve let you go “but Linux!” But the PCMR term is tainted. Always has been. You can’t tell me it was about Mac OS, Linux and Windows.

And this is before we look at the history of “master races.” It’s all really fucked up.

Microsoft master race, get it right.

I cringe every time I see someone like this say “to oblivion.”

Really? Is that really necessary? Why so consistently specific?

Of course Valve is. GTAO is the most successful online game ever.

Thanks! This is my first time seeing it.

That url looks sus.

Seems like not enough people click those. We are taking about gamers here.

Maybe they should publicly boast about having no anti-cheat and tell everyone that they are doing it for cross platform compatibility reasons. And because they believe kernel level stuff is also bad.

I’d love to follow along and see how things go.

Gotta be careful with approaching it from this angle. Setting out to do something like this ain’t the best way to achieve it.
