Most of the ones I’ve been a part of I’ve had to provide information that proves that I was negatively affected, but there have been a couple that I didn’t have to do that. Generally I think the ones where you have to provide proof lean towards being higher in the amount of money you get, but that’s only my personal experience.

I’ve been part of a class action suite that netted me several hundred dollars, but it was a rarity, most others I’ve participated in ended up with me receiving between $1-20.

I just found out about Tabletop Game Shop Simulator and I found it to be a nice alternative to TCG Card Shop Simulator. It only has a demo currently, but it’s been pretty fun to dip my toes into the shop simulator genre of games.

Yeah, I figured it would probably be something more like that order of operations. But I’m also sure there is probably a clause in the agreement between dev and store that says they can pull your game for any reason without notice, so there’s probably nothing that can be done.

I do kind of wonder of any of these game devs could go after these payment processing companies for loss of income? I’m not a lawyer, but I’d definitely be looking into it if I was a Dev that has been effected by this.

Never plug a random USB drive you find laying on the ground into any device you own.

At least with Team Fortress 2 they have always had dedicated servers you can host yourself. Most GaaS never provide a server that you can run and host yourself.

I’m sure there are exceptions for classified systems. Personally, I do believe all things developed by tax payer money should be released to the public including classified systems, given enough time has passed that the release of such information wouldn’t put anything or anyone at risk.

I don’t know about that. These are spinning disks so they aren’t exactly going to be fast when compared to solid state drives. Then again, I wouldn’t exactly put it past some of the AAA game devs out there.

Trump is a global security risk.

Oh God, please don’t unleash that on the world!

I’ve recently caught myself making this spelling mistake recently, but I think it has only happened since I interacted with a company that makes microphones named Shure, so I blame them.

I’ve seen a couple of things that I wish I hadn’t, but I never opened a link to a beheading video. That was definitely one line I wasn’t willing to cross.

Good to know, thanks for sharing that article!

As long as you’re using latex/nitrile condoms you should be good as latex and nitrile aren’t plastics. Some of the alternatives for people with latex allergies can have plastic in them though.
