I am still chillin playing factorio with my player hosted servers and no DRM because the devs are based. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago Gamers ≠ g*mers permalink fedilink source parent [–] BoneheadBruin@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago* ? I mean obviously there's the possibility of it being shopped but there's no sort order you could do where Borderlands, Dragon Age, and Team Fortress would all be up there mixed in to the Call of Duty players while still showing primarily Call of Duty in the middle of the list. Judging by the name order it seems like it's just 1 page of online players and 16 pages of offline players? I would guess maybe it was taken way after the boycott but I dont know the full context. permalink fedilink source parent
