lmao they uploaded the files without encryption on steam
I wonder if they let Copilot to do the upload.
And that’s bad because… That’s what GOG does
Because it was supposed to be a preload.
The way those generally work is that the entire game in encrypted so you can download it early and when the release date comes they release the encryption key.
Except this time they uploaded the game unencrypted.That is really stretching the definition of “leak”. Leak implies some kind of malfeasance, like someone “on the inside” releasing the files in an unauthorized fashion. Sounds like they did exactly what they intended to do, where they intended to do it, someone fucked up, perhaps unknowingly, and oopsied the timeline of encryption. It could have even been intentional to garner attention and boost sales.
This is more of a leak like… They forgot to seal the bottom of the boat, now they “have a leak”.
I wish real life driving hadn’t ruined car games for me.
How?
Nothing astonishing, just driving long hauls every day for several years, almost every day stuck behind traffic, snow, landslides, landslide remediation crews, trains, etc. I feel tired and stressed out just looking at cars sometimes. I still have to drive a decent amount and I still want a small and cheap minimalist everyman’s EV as long as I expect to need a car, but I really wish I could just stop one day and maybe not dread them so much.
Living in Chicago, that’s the reason why I like these driving games. I can finally just fucking go without some cockgoblin straddling two lanes, using the shoulder to pass, and sitting at a green light.
Wouldn’t arcade games like Need for Speed be unrealistic and different enough to not feel stressed out, or same problem?
You’d assume fun car games (especially beamng) would let you blow off some steam
Interesting take. The first thing I thought you meant was that you can’t get the feel of a real car in a game.
I always find myself wondering if folks in more professions feel that way about sims of their job. Like does the guy who works at the train depot get home and play Train Sim, or the chef playing Overcooked?
The best part of sim games of your real job. Is you get to do the fun part of it. With out fucking drama and workplace politics.
Ever wonder why us automechanics seem to drive cars that are so junky looking (or, conversely, are absolutely immaculate)?
Absolutely! I saw a talk at Develop last year from some of the Farming Simulator team, and they said a huge chunk of their audience are farmers.
Tons of pilots play flight simulators. I believe the same also applies to Euro/American Truck Simulator, based on the community discussions I’ve seen. I’d be surprised if the same wasn’t true for train sims too.
I had heard anecdotes about how railworkers try to weed out train guys because the train guy aspect tends to override the railworker aspect which ends out being a problem.
A lot of my colleagues love playing games simulating our job.
I don’t because I eork enough already and don’t want to get bad reflexes from something badly represented in a sim.
Probably not no
Oh we definitely do!

I wonder if this is ever going to happen intentionally with some kind of “phone home” system to slap people with lawsuits. Has that ever been done before? I know similar things have happened with antipiracy measure but those usually only effect the actual game. It seems like something big companies would want to do.
That would be stripped out by the cracking team before release. The scene doesn’t forget to test things, you know (also many countries where cracked games are hosted/more prevalent are places where foreign copyright law doesn’t matter much).
I see people say things like this all the time, but almost every scene release I’ve ever played has still phoned home. Use something like opensnitch and you can easily see that for yourself. If you are not blocking pirated games via firewall they are phoning home.
Does this impact the game much? It (sadly) requires xbox login, so I don’t imagine it will be playable for long. In fact they’ve already started banning accounts for this.
Anybody got a magnet?
How do those magical things work anyway I wonder 😏
