I hope you're right. I'm future proofing anyway by preferring DRM-free stores when possible.

Sure that's reasonable at the moment. And while it seems Gaben would never sell out, he is going to die at some point. What's going to happen to steam / valve after that?

GOG will let you bequeath your game library to someone else as long as you can prove you're actually dead in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

GOG enabled regional pricing several years ago.

Personally I enjoy the complicated character building of Grim Dawn way more than the item hunting. This also means I will play a host of characters and eventually complete item sets and have the resources for crafting after half-completed character number 86. For me the grinding is mostly a test on the efficiency of my build.

Maybe look into Warhammer: Chaosbane. It has a point system that superficialy looks similar to Grim Dawns devotions or Path of Exile, but in reality it's super simple. And while you do collect items, they don't matter as much as in other ARPGs. The flip side is that it's kinda hard to fail because the game is so simple.

Pro Tip: A vacation + going to a concert there may be cheaper depending on the band.

Maybe it's just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

What is the best concert you have ever been? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Coppelius is absolutely awesome. You get a theater-like show while they play headbanger after headbanger. Understanding German is a must though.

It's not just that characters make stupid decisions, the same characters keep making the same mistakes and nobody ever learns from those mistakes or grows as a character. It's so extremely frustrating.

The point is that an email address that is not in use except once to create that epic account is worthless to whoever buys it.

Well if they can turn fakeaccount53643@yahoo.com into money they honestly deserve the 50 cent they're getting for it.

How did you get started in the industry and would you recommend it as a job?

Can't speak for BruceTwarzen, but I'm from a fairly large city in Germany and I don't personally know any religious people. Side rant: Which makes the various privileges the catholic church gets all the more puzzling and annoying to me.
