Thats pretty brutal.

~~Does anyone know why this is?~~

Edit: Never mind. From the article...

has been met with poor reviews due to its price and performance. As a result, the FPS game’s player count is dwindling quickly, now dipping below 100 Steam users.

It was a horrid mess of a lazy release, also stole content from modders.

I’m sure they’ll use this to say people don’t want to buy old games rather than admit they did a shit job and wanted to make bank for it.

The Darkforces remaster looks to be amazing though. I’ll be picking that up at some stage, can’t justify a $43 price tag for a 30 year old title so I’ll wait for a sale.

also stole content from modders.

That's not cool at all.

Edit: Do people actually feel that it's okay for a company to steal content from the modders?

What is this link in your posts? I'm reading the site but I don't understand what it is really.

It’s a stupid trend where people think they are somehow liberating their comments from being used in training by AI.

Spoiler alert, it doesn’t work. And even if it did, no one actually cares about your comment about (checks thread) people NOT playing a video game.

The equivalent of this but for nerds and it's just as effective

Hell, they can't even be bothered to self host so they can at least pretend to have some kind of ownership over what they share on Lemmy and they admit to not having any plan to actually check if their data is used by AI companies, that's how ridiculous this is.

I'm licensing my comments with a Creative Commons license, so that if anyone wants to use them to train their AI models/bots with, they have to at the very least give citation to that.

I'm hoping it's a way of deterring bot activity on my comments. It's something that I saw someone else doing, so I decided to emulate it, since it's just a simple copy and paste, and if it works, it's worth the momentary paste.

Plus it's really interesting that its gotten a lot of positive and negative feedback. Some people really get bent out of shape seeing it being there, and others just have a natural curiosity about it. So it's kind of interesting to see that as well, just by using it.

How are you going to prove your data was used?

Poor performance? It's a PS2 Game, how can it have poor performance.

The net code is really bad. You see opponents teleport all over the place making the act of aiming and shooting, unfun.

I didn't even know this was out, so lack of marketing may be an issue as well.
