💸 Game prices going to $100?
That’s not the problem.
🎮 The real fight is over what you actually own when you buy a game.

📦 Digital Game Borrowing on Nintendo Switch?
Nintendo might be rolling out a system to digitally “eject” a game so your friend can borrow it on their Switch. You lose access while they play—like a real game case swap… but digital.

Hypothetical question: if the only Civilization game I'd ever played was the original from 1991; which of its sequels should I tackle next?

Bin mal gespannt, wie groß der Aufschrei ist, wenn eines Tages die Stores geschlossen werden und die laufwerklose PS5 sich dann nicht mal mehr als Retrogerät weiterverkaufen lässt. Bin ja jetzt schon angefressen, wenn meine paar Digitaltitel nicht verfügbar sind, weil der Lizenzserver mal wieder streikt. 🫤
Diese neuen Zahlen dürften der Grund sein, warum die PS5 Pro ohne Disc-Laufwerk erscheint

Liebe Interessierte,
diesen Freitag, 11.10, 18-19:30 Uhr, lädt Ian Boes Euch zu einem intra-aktiven Workshop zu Inklusion und Dis/Ability Visibility in digitalen Spielen ein. Selbst von Mehrfachdiskriminierung betroffen, forscht und lehrt er:sie mit einem queerfeministischen Blick zu und mit digitalen Spielen und nimmt dabei stets intersektional und diskriminierungssensibel unterschiedliche Diversitätskategorien in den Blick. Nach einem theoretischen Input wollen wir gemeinsam ausgewählte Spiele spielen, die die (Un)Sichtbarkeit und Repräsentation be_hinderter Menschen in digitalen Spielen beleuchten und uns zu einem anti-ableisitischen Austausch ermutigen.
Um Anmeldung wird gebeten unter: barrierefrei@uni-potsdam.de
ONLINE: ZOOM-Link wird bei Anmeldung bekannt gegeben.
Teilen ausdrücklich erwünscht - Ian Boes freut sich.

⏲ And here comes the fifth episode from Season 2 of our #podcast
series "Towards a positive #digital society"
🎮 🎰 5. #Videogames and #gambling

The line between #digitalgames and gambling is blurring in the past decade, especially with the advent of #monetisation of videogames. #Children are particularly vulnerable, as they are progressively exposed to #gambling in their games, potentially leading to problematic behaviour. ⬇️
You know what’s hilarious about people complaining _so much_ about digital only games purchases? Those same people keep buying them.
If the income is still incoming, the complaints become just noise.
If you truly hate online only digital only games purchases, stop buying them. Publishers don’t measure game popularity in how noisy people complain. They measure popularity in dollars.

Does anyone want to join a slow, relaxed BGA tournament for Qawale?
One of the Gigamic wooden abstracts.
Make a line of your colour, but plenty of movement/chaos in between turns.

Newbies are welcome. I enjoy using round robin tournaments as a way to learn/explore the game. :-)
