So Steamdeck users can say goodbye to Helldivers 2. What the fuck did we do to deserve this?!
It wont stop the cheaters because it's a shit anticheat but you'll happily fuck over 10s of thousands of people and an entire platform over a bruised ego?
Go fuck yourselves.
This week, we want to talk about an important change coming to Helldivers 2 regarding our anti-cheat software.

If you need modified cfgs or graphics because your machine is carrot fair dos but if you need to do this because you feel it might make you play better please go wash your damn dishes.
In my opinion: 100% Money got pushed under the table here.
From "Yeah people should be able to have access to their products" to "Oh no really sorry we can't do that it'll be too much" fuck the EU back for peddling and Fuck Ubisoft especially. Corrupt bastards the lot of them.
1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.
THE ANSWER WAS NO.
The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.
The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have
1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.
And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.
Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.
If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.
What happened to protecting the children from so called gambling?
What happened to it being against New York's gambling laws?
So in the end it was all about money.
Just shut the fuck up lady, I wouldn't trust you to play monopoly.
New York wants a cut of Counter-Strike’s loot box economy on Valve’s Steam platform.
Officials argue the game’s paid case openings amount to gambling, as players spend real money for randomized skins with real resale value.
The attorney general is seeking full restitution for every resident who has ever “gambled” on a loot box, regardless of age, plus a penalty worth three times Valve’s related profits.
Why lose your head over that ONE escort mission again when you can bury it in-between two of Haven's finest 'Precursor Orbs'.
Art by @BadgerBenArt really happy with this.

"Hard Mode is now Selectable"
I knew it wouldn't be long before the final nails in the coffin would be struck when fraisers bought them out. Most shops I went in across my county might as well have been trumped up Toys R Us. Also release prices for 4+ year old games didn't help their case either from my view.
UK retailer Game is closing the last of its remaining standalone stores, after entering administration.
