You can keep your smartphone but they have you put stickers over the cameras before you are let in. If you remove them you might have a one-on-one session with Sven.

Maybe its time more clubs adopt the strict no-cameras policy of Berghain in Berlin.

Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.

Yes, I think calling it fraud is a fair conclusion but what do you mean with “they knew it was closing”? This decision is completely in the hands of Ubisoft. Something doesn’t stop being fraud just because someone only decides to defraud you 2 months after they sold you something.

Sony actually issued full refunds to everyone who bought Concord.

‘The Crew’ by Ubisoft was sold for several months before they decided to shut it down. This would have at least forced them to communicate that before taking peoples money. I am also pretty sure that publishers don’t want to put this information on the package because it could seriously hurt sales. So the effect might be that publishers build the game in a way that enables self-hosting.

I think the commission will take action in some form. The worst case scenario in my mind is that they will only require clear labelling. Similar to what they did with smart phones recently. While this not exactly what I am hoping for, having “This game will at least be playable until XXXX” on the package or store page would still be a massive improvement over the status quo.

Maybe they read something about the titanium dioxide contained in some sunscreen products. There is some research indicating that its not as safe as we thought and that it might be carcinogenic.

Looking though the related patents, fart filters certainly seem to be a hot topic among inventors.
Here is a patent for a literal butt-plug fart filter.
This one is from last year. - Comment on Deathloop is free to claim on Epic Games 1 month ago:
I never spent a single cent on their store and probably never will, but since Epic is so keen on burning money I am happy to help them with that.

- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 months ago:
New ones probably use something newer. The 20 year old elevator in a hospital will only be upgraded if something breaks.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 months ago:
We are far away from the release of the Raspberry Pi if that screen is running an early version of Windows CE. Putting a PC in the elevator to drive the screen was probably the most cost effective solution.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 months ago:
Yes? That is not that unusual and it is mentioned in the third sentence of the article.
I rode up to the 14th floor, my eyes were drawn to a screen built into the side of the lift.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 months ago:
It’s probably only the screen component that is running an old version of embedded windows.

- Comment on OG Guild Wars sees an all-new Steam concurrency high during its anniversary celebration | Massively Overpowered 2 months ago:
I think even a relaunch with only the first campaign at the start could revitalize the community. I’d wager there are plenty of people who would want to relive the glory days of Guild Wars 1.
- Comment on OG Guild Wars sees an all-new Steam concurrency high during its anniversary celebration | Massively Overpowered 2 months ago:
There seems to be a market for classic mmorpgs. I wonder why Guild Wars didn’t already receive the Wow Classic treatment.

- Comment on The good old days 3 months ago:
If you really do, blend the dried leaves from multiple plants. The psychoactive ingredients can be unevenly distributed throughout the plant. This means that you could unintentionally overdose without changing the amount you take.
- Comment on The good old days 3 months ago:
Datura Stramonium cigarettes to be precise. That plant can give you a very unpleasant horror trip if you consume to much of it.

- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 4 months ago:
You make it sound like a huge conspiracy but there are laws and regulations around everything you try to sell, especially for electronics.
You also have to do EMF radiation testing, ensure that your printer doesn’t produce toxic aerosols or fumes, and probably a bunch of other things to prove that your product is safe. I don’t see why the fingerprinting isn’t just another thing on the list of things you have to do to be in compliance with the rules. If your company is capable of producing something as complex as a printer, encoding the device’ serial number into a bunch of yellow microdots that you add to the printout shouldn’t be an issue.
