A second hand old Surface Pro could work well.

Another big topic that should be concerning to vegans is the usage of dog noses in controller joysticks, why is everyone silent against the evil g*ming corporations

Even when that agreement expires (see blur as a race game example), the game typically isn’t removed from libraries.

As for your game I think archive.org has a copy listed ( https://archive.org/details/race-driver-grid_202112 ), it says it’s a GOG copy so it shouldn’t give any issues, does it give any? (Do not click the spam comments, check the download options and pick either zip or torrent)

this one doesn’t kill demons, it just gives them rashes and slight burns.

Removing games from player inventory is very rare; I’ve only seen it happen when malware is uploaded to Steam as a game.

I have a few games that can’t be played anymore, like Super Bomberman R Online and The Crew. I still can download their files from Steam; but I can’t play them.

But now I’m curious too, what could’ve happened that got that game removed from the people who bought the game

For reference, the allegedly infringing patents are these:

Aw man i was just about to say i hate the Formula F1 races.

Pushing an entire business into black market over time… Who in their right mind approved this?

Yes to both. I absolutely despise both country’s governments because of their actions. However mirroring the government’s actions to individuals living in a country does not seem fair. I fucking hate my country’s president, and would celebrate it if he died. Why should I get judged based on his actions?

Civilised countries with working multiple political parties looking at US be like: the fuck they doin there

Doing my part

I came from EMPRESS’s suggestion to migrate here (she got banned from lemmy.ml and didnt bother to change instance), stuck with here after the whole Reddit API thing.

That’s an old name I haven’t heard in quite a while.

Reminds me of Suleyman Demirel’s saying “Today is today, and yesterday was yesterday” after his lie he said the previous day was exposed.

Wait, a scanner software with built-in OCR? That sounds awesome.

Used to play Apex Legends a lot, so could give some reasons why.

A core part of Apex’s monetization is “keep the core gameplay F2P accessible and make super expensive skins for those who can pay”. The game would put items worth around 300$ multiple times in a single season. After that as long as the gameplay’s solid; F2P players wouldn’t find a reason to not play; and whales could flex their 300$ death box to all these players interacting with them. Hell, give F2P players tasks that take too long to unlock new skins; and maybe they’ll toss a few bucks in too. You’ve got yourself a neat money loop, and players are happy.

As for cheating; most people i see cheating does it as a way of doing the unexpected in a video game. Cheating is not enjoyable to most if you do it all the time; but the cheat providers offer cheats with shorter time spans to hook the people that want to do just that. I recall an interview done with a cheat developer for a different yet similarly popular game, and they’ve said most of their sales come through these.
