@FAE Well, we have yet to see what it ends up in actual application.

FAE

@FEichinger Yeah. Just kind of disappointing to see.

FEichinger

This being Valve, I could definitely picture something like a "conversion fee", a way to redeem it inside family sharing, or a way to return it - or even just a lock-out from gifting it to someone in the first place.

Wandang

FAE

@badp Yeah, me too.

FEichinger

@badp I assume it'll be like the "user owns the game already" lock-out on gifting.

badp

@wand what you need is a UK based payment and white listing from Steam Support for buying games from abroad

Wandang

why should they put me on the whitelist for that Oo

badp

12:04 AM

Of course it helps if you stay like multiple months out, create your account there then go back and claim that you've moved temporarily and still with to buy games

Wandang

i thought if i at least buy the humblebundle it would give me the international versions but no

i got a shitty saints row german edition

badp

@wandang because you need to contact support to buy games from abroad afaik

Wandang

:/

i will just not try to get games throu steam anymore

i guess

badp

That's a protection for your account so that no one in Russia can steal your credit card and buy things with it. I suppose

Wandang

i am in japan in summer of 2014

Macha

12:06 AM

The other problem I have with this is I can get the argument that devs want to sell games for like €6 in India because they can't afford more, while still selling it for higher elsewhere so they actually make a profit. But then they go to even larger extremes, selling stuff for like 1.5x as much in Europe and 2x as much in Australia compared to US prices. And the income disparity is not that large between the two countries.

Wandang

for 2 weeks

maybe i can create an account there and claim to need it

FEichinger

@FAE To be fair, it makes sense. It'll be exploited, no doubt, but it makes sense. I mean, the separate regions exist for a reason.

badp

@wan I dunno if you can get a bank account for just a two weeks stay

Wandang

@MechanicalLoon yes and we hate it (we germans, at least all i know)

that was a good feature of uk shopping too

badp

In order to open one both in NL and Germany I had to get residence there first, iirc

Macha

12:08 AM

Or in EA's case: Sims 3 expansion packs in Ireland: €40 off sale, €20 on sale. In the US: $20 off sale, $10 on sale....

@badp I think most banks require some proof of residency, yeah.

Wandang

12:09 AM

i would say i love italian pizza

but i may get a chatban for that, so i wont

FEichinger

I'd rather focus on fixing the exploitation than killing the system entirely. It makes sense for a lot of things (income disparity, legal issues, and lastly it's perfectly in a publisher's rights to pick their prices around the world, the Internet is not some magical place where everything has the exact same price everywhere).

badp

I didn't get a bank account in Netherlands though

FEichinger

@badp I'm also ignoring @Wan.

Macha

I remember when I was trying to set up a bank account when I was 16. They wanted a utility bill or something as proof of address. I was 16 :p

badp

I was merely told I had to have my citizen number or whatnot

FAE

12:10 AM

@Wandang It's really not pleasant for you to be constantly passive-aggressive about the discussion the other day.

badp

@FEi it's just that many publishers' justifications ("it costs more to ship games to Australia") become even more blindingly bullshit

FEichinger

@badp Sure. And we can fight that quite nicely by just not buying from them and the like.

Raise awareness, call them out on their bullshit, stop supporting them.

But claiming the entire system is broken because it's abused? Nyeeeh.

badp

Ah, yeah, the good old "boycott" card

Good luck with that

A system that's easily abused is almost the definition of a broken system

FEichinger

It's the best we got, and the best we'll get.

Frankly, unifying it to US pricing would benefit a lot of people, but it would also screw over the US.

badp

Even if true - Does that make it non-broken?

FEichinger

12:15 AM

It makes it the least-broken, imo.

And it's not entirely broken either way.

ElfSlice

Valdis Story is so good

badp

That's different

ElfSlice

Definitely one of the best indie releases of the year

valdisstory.com

It's 40% off on Steam and you should buy it

badp

At the end of the day if you sell the very same bytes to A for £2 and to B for £10, you shouldn't be surprised when people in A "gift" to people in B for £5

Private Pansy

Arbitrage! Wheeeeee

FEichinger

12:19 AM

@badp People in B getting also paid ten times as much is what's the problem here. I never claimed it wasn't broken. Just that it's not an entirely broken system - it still fulfills its purpose, much better than anything else that could be done.

badp

this "gifting" is obviously abusive and the solution is to find them and ban them, not to put higher fences between A and B

FEichinger

@badp And this is also why I've said we should wait to see the actual application of it all.

Wandang

@ElfSlice looks nice

FEichinger

We have yet to see if there's some way to "verify" a gift or whatnot.

Wandang

@ElfSlice but i am one of those players that does not want to play the same concept with better graphics again and again

FEichinger

12:20 AM

Family sharing seems like a simple option to verify a gift.

badp

@FEi I am not saying that there can't be a reason for tiered pricing, but putting technical barriers in the way of piracy has been hilariously ineffective so far

Wandang

i could play one of the old 2D games instead you know...

badp

I don't know if more of the same will work as well

Wandang

i play my fav game for 7 years now. that wont change much^^

FEichinger

@badp It's not exactly piracy. It's a trade exploit, which is precisely what we have tolls and the like for.

FAE

12:21 AM

Part of it to me is that I don't see a huge difference between doing this online and doing this offline. Someone can buy me a physical game in the US and ship it to me, why is that okay and this not?

FEichinger

@FAE Because that involves reasonably-personal contact.

badp

It's still piracy because you're buying the game from an unauthorized, unlicensed seller

and therefore you are acquiring a game without a proper licence

FEichinger

@badp ... Now you're getting into nitpicks about piracy ... That's twisting a lot of things.

badp

It's stupid to claim it's not piracy because you paid for it, that is all

Wandang

@FAE it may never arrive if the custom does not allow it

FAE

12:23 AM

@FEichinger So the argument here is that because you know someone, it's more okay...? I'm not quite sure where you're coming from here.

Wandang

@ElfSlice vladis costs 8,39€ too much

badp

It's actually a worse type of piracy because you're making money out of it and that's essentially fraud

FEichinger

@FAE The whole problem this new change is trying to fight is that people gift games to get around the valid reasons for the restriction: legal issues (censorship and the like) and the different pricing (whether or not the resulting price is valid is a wholly different issue).

@badp ... Now this is getting absolutely ridiculous.

@FAE Then there's also the part where shipping a physical item would go through customs offices, where these restrictions would (theoretically) apply through tolls and taxation.

badp

@FEi what? If GreenManGaming was based on buying games in India and sending them to you as steam gifts, that would be 100% fraud as far as I can see

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn And yet I am fully clothed. What's that all about?

Ullallulloo

12:28 AM

@FEichinger How is this more valid?

FEichinger

@badp They acquire goods (in this case licenses) at the lowest price and resell it for a profit, in your scenario. That's top-notch capitalism. I don't have to like it, but I'm not seeing the problem here. (aside from the laws surrounding the licenses, but that gets ridiculous in itself anyway)

Q: Pocket edition login same as computer edition

Hey I don't play but I pay for my son to. Anyway I bought him an Galaxy Note 3 and downloaded the Pocket Edition app. But the login for his computer is not recognized by the Pocket Edition. Are the login credentials the same? DL

minecraft-pocket-edition

FEichinger

It's most certainly not fraud.

At best it's a license violation (if the license prohibits a change in owner), in which case why on Earth can it be gifted in the first place?

FAE

Hm. Well, seeing as it's only in early stage of application and only for one game so far, I'm going to refrain from further comment until we see how it rolls out. I don't have the energy to engage in a full on discussion about this at the moment, especially when we're mostly speculating. Sorry if I caused a kerfuffle here.

badp

You have to have the right of resale for profit before you can resale for profit. Most games give you a none transferrable license, or anyhow a transferrable license without any gain on your side

FEichinger

12:32 AM

@badp Which, as I said, gets into the license crap. At which point we have something entirely different from fraud.

badp

Otherwise there's at least breach of contract and copyright on the seller plus fraud if the buyer doesn't know

FEichinger

There's no breach of copyright. No new copies are generated.

badp

if the buyer does know then it might be abetting and whatnot

FAE

Ugh, I have a great desire for a drink or a cigarette, neither of which would be a good thing to indulge in at the moment.

FEichinger

This has absolutely nothing to do with piracy.

It may be a license violation. But it's certainly neither piracy nor fraud.

badp

12:34 AM

@FEi it is because you are granting yourself a right for resale that you do not have

The whole "licence crap" contract exists because under copyright you don't get to do anything at all with somebody else's work unless explicitly granted permission to

FEichinger

You're spinning this into something it is not.

badp

The whole point of copyright is to give authors monopoly over their works and what is monopoly if not having exclusive right of sale?

Wandang

@badp in germany the laws are different

OrigamiRobot

Copyright is literally the right to copy.

FEichinger

@badp This is completely wrong. Copyright and right of sale have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Copyright is purely about producing new copies.

Which does not happen with the given licenses.

Wandang

12:37 AM

afaik it is not clear if valve is allowed to force their rules on german citizens.

because law says that stuff you buy must belong to you (right to sell)

Ullallulloo

@Wandang This change doesn't apply to Germany.

Wandang

the discussion got more general didnt it

Ullallulloo

It only affect Eastern Europe and South America.

@Wandang Maybe

badp

@wan which is why every single software licence says explicitly that you never but software, only a licence to use under restrictions

Wandang

for now

@badp which is not allowed in germany

3ventic

12:40 AM

It could be considered that German citizens aren't allowed to accept the SSA.

if it conflicts with the law

badp

@wan you're not allowed not to own software?

3ventic

One would assume you're not allowed to sign agreements that break the law

Wandang

@3ventic thats the point

that the contract may be invalid

3ventic

So Germans shouldn't be allowed in Steam?

Wandang

its not clear at this point afaik

FEichinger

12:41 AM

@3ventic This was an actual solution Valve considered at one point.

Wandang

german organizations are trying to force it from steam yes

3ventic

It wouldn't come as a surprise

Wandang

computerandvideogames.com/420070/…

This came as a response to a decision made last year by the Court of Justice of the European Union, which ruled that customers have the right to resell digitally purchased games.

not sure why americans did not demand that right too?

3ventic

except that you're not buying a game, just a license

Wandang

americans just say "the company is allowed to do with their products as they please"?

3ventic

12:46 AM

As long as there's choice in the market, they shouldn't be fighting against game licenses

Wandang

@3ventic it just does not work that way here as far as i can tell

Ullallulloo

@Wandang It hasn't been decided yet.

3ventic

@Wandang obviously, but it still doesn't change the fact that it's dumb

Wandang

@MarcoCeppi thx for your work

Marco Ceppi

WHAT DID I DOOOO

Ullallulloo

12:49 AM

Currently, it's basically that the first-sale doctrine applies unless it's: stated that you're only buying a license, there's DRM to stop you from transferring it, and there's usage restrictions on the software.

Wandang

ubuntu is the vehicle for linux to conquer windows so i thank you for your help of new users

3ventic

I honestly believe Steam is better for the consumer for not allowing reselling the games..

FEichinger

@MarcoCeppi Spent too much time on imgur again? :P

badp

According to ifosslawbook.org/germany many of the rights Germans have on software depend on the software's physical medium

Ullallulloo

It also doesn't apply to free things.

ahah, I was wondering who that was

@badp well german law is old... digital law is new for germany

@badp well german law is old... digital law is new for germany

3ventic

Wandang

thats why merkel told that we are in "neuland" newland

for the internet

because the law is not used to the new stuff

@3ventic yeah exactly

Wandang

and german consumer rights groups are very active

and i agree with them mostly

if this would happen in germany it would be quite an outrage:

torrentfreak.com/…

but honestly the whole fundamental tenet of copyright is to prevent authors from having competition in the form of their own customers and I don't see that changing any time soon

Ugh why are the controls in Brutal Legend completely unresponsive?

What is with Doublefine games and controlling like garbage?

@MechanicalLoon I couldn't get into Brutal Legend.

Mechanical Loon

@OrigamiRobot It seems weird.

OrigamiRobot

I think I played it till it got to the RTS part.

Mechanical Loon

I'm still in the tutorial area because the controls make no sense.

Supposedly it's "click to attack"

When I click, sometimes it does nothing, sometimes it attacks, and sometimes it does the power attack which is supposed to be click and hold.

So I mean it's not particularly difficult, but it's also pretty stupid doing whatever combo happens to come out of the random input I give it rather than having direct control.

OrigamiRobot

@MechanicalLoon I played it on 360 and had no problem with the controls, so try a gamepad.

Mechanical Loon

@OrigamiRobot Yeah some reviews suggested that. My Windows laptop comes tomorrow, so I might just install it there.

Along with all the Windows-only games I bought this sale.

I was playing it with headphones because there were some people having a meeting in our apartment at the time. This was when @IanPugsley and I were still in school. I leaned back too far and the headphones popped out right in time for the main character to say "Now I'll teach you about French kissing." very loudly.

Q: What advantages are there to the Codex Scanner?

On Warframe, there is an item called the Codex Scanner, which allows you to scan enemies to get an entry on them. Besides earning data on them, are there any other advantages?
