The user discovered a bug, where anyone could apply games to their account, without buying or paying. He ended up notifying Steam (after he applied games to his account).

To them, like all bug hunt payments, the cost of what they gave him in the end ($4K) was nothing compared to the damage of that being shared - they get everlasting good press over it; good will, and they close the bug. So the $4,000 is alongside keeping the games he’d applied to his account.

Sorry, I could have worded that better! It’s on me for poor phrasing. English is not my native language, sometimes I can explain poorly.

I can do!

I’ve been doing so for the last one (this is, after all only my third!)…but I’ll link the past ones as I go from here on!

Then it looks like you’ll be the perfect one to try this new unlocked FPS build of Abuse! You can give a true ‘impression’ on how you found it :)

And thank you for saying so!

Exactly what I’m trying to do!

Thanks, glad it fits in well enough here <3

It was the winner of the Summer (or was it Winter?) Sale prize of 2012. They got every game released up until the competition’s date - and yes, this link is a screenshot of it!

Hey, you’re welcome!

Glad you enjoyed some of it :)

Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy :)

I hope it helps someone on here! :)

It can, but you’ve got to find the people passionate about it who will make that happen.

These tools are out there now, and others may see how its been done and try use the same technique for other games. Time will tell!

There’s a thread on restera which details every game which is focused on right now - for decompilation projects. Its in this link here:

“I like to have an index of the decompilations that are being worked on, so here it is. I will try to keep this updated regularly. Also i consider a project as “active” if there have been updates in the past 6 months”

It’s a great resource to save and bookmark!!!

Honestly, I have no idea! I was on Lemmy years ago, but only just returned a few days ago, so I’m still re-learning the ropes :)

And thank you for saying so! I have a blast writing these. I plan to do it weekly, so I guess subscribe to this community, and you should see it (hopefully) in just under a week’s time!

You could just follow me on Mastodon too, if that’s easier. I’m sure I’ll direct people over to it when the time comes to post another:

If you’re happy with EmuDeck, and how it performs/where it stores things…then by all means stick to it! There’s no need to abandon one for another. You can always just try RetroDECK, if you have a micro SD card its even handier that way as it will install there. Watch this, just so you’ve got a good idea of things!

As to uninstalling, if you’re dead-set and serious about removing it entirely, then I’m happy to help you via DM if you’d like? It can store data in so many different places, which really made me so cross. I know the spots though, happy to take you through it step-by-step if you’d like. I’m here, and on Mastodon, and Matrix if any of those places work best for you (and, if you do need help!)

HAH!

Okay, maybe my phrasing was a bit silly!

You’re right, I should edit this and mention that fact! At least its a once-off payment of $5 or so, and personally I’m beyond happy to support devs for their countless hours of work. Esp when it works so well!

But, this is why we’re lucky to also have Heroic as an option!

*girl!

And thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m lucky that this kinda thing which I find so fun, is something others find interesting!

This was more…practically working out the kinks to see if formatting could be improved on (spoiler: very much so!), so the next might be in a week? A weekly thing? Unsure so far, but again…thank you so much!!!

This is so kind of you!

I’m just lucky that what I find fun (making this kind of post!) is at least interesting to others :)

I just know the devs of Heroic will be pleased to see more people trying their work (and I know this, because I’m going to share it with one right now!)

Hope you enjoy it, it is a great resource for the Steam Deck :)

Keep an eye out for it! It does go on sale quite regularly! It was also given away for free via Epic Games’ weekly giveaways, so if you claim those then you might have forgotten you own it!

In fact using GOGDB you can see just how regularly it goes on sale, and kinda time when it will next be cheap! I can’t recommend it enough, it’s my fav racing game of all, it’s SO pretty on the Deck

You’re so welcome :)

I hope its not too disappointing for you! Either way, I’m glad it now has a good home
