Gotta love people who spread misinformation. I'm from the UK. Our civilians and police are allowed to defend themselves with reasonable force and for the most part they are bound by the same laws. It's legally safe to match force used against you, so if someone points a gun or brandishes a knife at you then you can respond with lethal force.

You must also stop when the threat stops, you can't legally keep beating an unconscious attacker to death.

Yes because logically more guns is bound to lead to fewer shootings. Other countries that changed their laws and have had few to no mass shootings afterwards must be exceptions that would be impossible to replicate because money... I mean America.

That is true but I'd rather the average attacker was armed with a pool noodle than a gun. I'd feel much more comfortable outrunning an attacker than a bullet.

Yes and the US has gun murders all the time. We all have problems with murder, only the US has a problem with frequent mass murders as well as regular homicides.

There's currently one (two if you count the titan) GPU in existence that is faster than the 1080Ti, I doubt we will see a massive leap from flagship PC hardware. It will probably be closer to a more mid - high end GPU.

It worked on me, I'm a PC Gamer and I am now subbed to a month of game pass for PC for £1. Gonna try out Sunset Overdrive and then Vampyr when that launches.

Yer, I can't see any downside and I'd rather have more features than less so I'm all for it.

@zeke68 You are mixing up decrypted and encrypted. Also the data was not all encrypted, credit card information was but personal information such as names and addresses were not.

We heard the same low cost rumours about the Radeon VII and look how that ended up. I don't expect the first few 7nm chips to be cheap until yields improve and the process matures.

Actually, I think it is fine to question the legality of this as it's a pretty complicated subject.

A ToS has to meet a number of criteria to be legally binding and that will depend on where you are located. They tend to include a lot of stuff that exists in a grey area and it's never clear whether or not these clauses would stand up in court.

In the EU for example If purchased digital content suddenly stops working you have the right to ask for a...

I'd be interested in a Dev talk about what these legacy issues are as I cant think of a scenario where this becomes the best or only option from a Dev point of view. I think it's much more likely this was a business decision as they consider it too costly to implement a better fix.

There is almost always a better solution, it just might be costly.

Ah that makes more sense, I was quite confused by how both their past and current policy wouldn't be in breach of EU law.

Maybe in the US, I don't see how that would jam with EU consumer protection rules.

It's actually illegal in my country to even make the statement "We do not issue refunds"

For me it's the opposite, I first tried most bosses in Dark Souls 3. I've only managed to do that with 4 bosses in Sekiro.

Yer I really don't understand this sentiment either, surely if you enjoy a game you want others to play it and then you get too talk about it with your friends. I don't get anything out of a game being exclusive.

It is, that's why you can purchase most steam games on other stores. Especially on key re sellers like Humble, GOG and Greenmangaming

it accesses local copies which are there in case you lose connection the steam cloud servers while gaming and the data needs to be synced later. They are literally just snooping on files on your disk as they are not encrypted although the only one they are definitely reading is your friends list and last played cache as they are creating an encrypted copy of this file elsewhere.

There is a pretty high likelihood that this is in violation of data protection rules in the EU....

Yer they gave it away for almost nothing on one Steam sale. I picked it up for about £2 and have used it to stream life is strange to the TV. It seemed to work pretty well except for a few annoying bugs. Didn't consider buying it before at it's normal price though.

This isn't progress for the consumer, it's regression. I can understand developers wanting the store but I don't get why anyone would want to buy anything from the store.

There is no guarantee this store will even survive the next 5 years and no guarantee your games will still be available to download if it goes bust.

I know more people who have pirated than bought it as they don't want to support exclusivity on PC :(

The sad part is the game is fantastic, I bought it on Steam before the release as I could just refund it if I didn't like the first 2 hours anyway.
