I didn't look too deeply but they generally are. There's probably changes but the timing at least seems the same. Might be fun for someone else to do evil evil custom beatmap stuff before proper support.

emphasis on evil because it'd suck and be like early GH modding. but interesting.

Beatmaps are in .osu format?

PLAY UNBEATABLE GAME!!!

It's still bad that they used it.

But I agree that I care much less because they aren't trying to sell grifted art as their own.

for the unaware.

Funnily enough the whole kerfuffle with collective shout HAS united people in trying to prevent this from happening now. Seeing Itch get touched has a lot of people on guard for this sort of deplatforming now.

Again, this discussion is happening because it's topical, the devs are known, and people are primed on the issue.

Had everyone known, and were united, this would have happened before. This sort of issue normally happens on a case by case basis outside of public eye.

Things are different now.

Actually that interaction is

destin: (steam is able to remove games that go against policy)

polearmguy: (do people disagree?)

destin: (yes, people are arguing that steam shouldn't have done that)

The tone still comes off awful and flippant but the actual thoughts are normal.

And to pre-empt "the team should make their own store or stay on itch". That entails a lot more investment risk and limits visibility. Steam for better or worse is where "all the big boys play" and that matters.

Additionally, I don't think valve should be the one to decide if players can buy a game. Especially if it's simply over touchy content.

The only reasons Horses is even a story right now is because people are already aware of this after the shit collective shout pulled on itch io. And the devs already had eyes on them due to the team having previous hits and game show coverage.

Valve refusing distribution damages horses ability to exist. Deplatforming is harmful to anyone. To make games people need food, to get food people need money, to get money people need to sell games, to sell games people need a store.

A resin print station and some calipers to measure is what you would need for that. The equipment to injection mold plastic (which is needed to get any durable plastics into a mold) is out of scope for most home shops.

AI art has a lot of traits from artists grifters want to steal. like 80% is just ripping off artgerm/stanley lau. You don't draw in a way "that type of person" is into.

Its both. MCC's is entirely free because it replaced each game's individual cosmetic progression.

Helldivers 2 also runs always available battle passes.

A lot of the artists are available from JP music shops so if anyone wants to buy a specific track in like .flac or anything check ototoy etc.

Sometimes it's a different mastering than the in game version though. Like Rhycol. or Suisei No BoAz

Oh and he added some track metadata. Nice.

I ended up ripping the ost myself for my mp3 player. I'll look if the archive from the other guy that ripped them is still up.
