Which is going to work for a couple months until people realise you go there and are never heard of again... If they didn't already hear this from deserted mercenaries

I think in Germany, 'sozialliberal' usually refers to being liberal in general, except for being pro social regulations / markets. So I guess it means everything and nothing 🤷

There is a way to kinda make this work, this would be hardware based security. You could use a TPM to make reasonably sure the kernel is e.g. mainline / hardened / anything else acceptable. Hardware vendors (i.e. Intel, AMD etc.) would have to provide a service where they hash the kernel alongside their keys for the game devs to check against (probably not for free). You would absolutely have to use Secure Boot tho, and eventually keys may be leaked. Another possibility would be devs connecting directly to your TPM to make sure (afaik this is possible in principle, but not mean to be used that way).

I think there are easier ways to prevent cheating tho, for example simply detecting suspicious activity on the server side, i.e. stats go way up, looking at data coming from clients other than yours.

Would absolutely pay for an isekai crossing, although I imagine this to be a licensing nightmare

Ist es nicht lustig, wie man diese Aufregung komplett hätte vermeiden können, indem man aufrichtige, finanzierbare Wahlversprechen macht?

Es kommen sogar Entlastungen für alle, nur ein paar Cent weniger als versprochen. Dafür steht man jetzt trotzdem schlecht da und erodiert weiter das Vertrauen in die Politik.

Now that's what I call... Hard evidence.

I'll show myself the exit

They had them fooled. I'm pretty sure it's unalive ammo

I love how these fuckers have a Wikipedia article that's like: "Yup. Their nickname sums it up. These are fucking motherfuckers that do nothing but look pretty. Do not touch them, do not keep them, they are just mean fuckers." And they stress that 'fucker' part like 4 times.

I really can't stand spiders except for jumping spiders. They have caused me to become a lot less hostile towards spiders in general

AI has the potential to make most work optional in the long run. Humans have the potential to not use this for a global, eternal vacation full of rich experiences and artistic expression, but a reason to let everyone die that is not needed anymore

Games and multiplayer have existed before any of this mess, so it is evidently not necessary. If a publisher thinks otherwise, they can't continue to make multiplayer games. Sucks to be them I guess, I'm sure others will pick up the ball

Multiple approaches have been suggested - from local multiplayer (which can potentially be extended to the internet) over releasing server binaries or source code, to providing documentation that allows to recreate a server.
