the meme is about Factorio
however re146 doesn’t work with modpacks (you have to download each mod individually)
If there is any game you legit shouldn’t pirate if possible, Factorio is one of them. Wube is one of the most based small independent developers out there, their code quality, optimization and game design is second to none, they have a super active community that the developers themsleves often participate in, and their game is very reasonably priced for the thousands of hours you can dump into it. The account requirement for the official mod portal is maybe the only slightly anti-user thing they’ve done.
Oh noo, your still working 3rd party mod downloader makes you enter in mods one at a time instead of grabbing a whole mod pack?
No offense, but I think this is a personal skill issue. If it were any other company doing it sure, but don’t take Wube to task over it just because you’re mad it takes an extra 5min to install a large mod pack via a 3rd party loader that I’m sure they’ve intentionally not blocked.
Yeah hear me out though, fuck linking accounts to anywhere, fuck DRM. That’s why I bought the game on GOG. The factorio site in no way needs to have any information on me in order to download mods. I in no way want to link shit to a third party. They don’t need to grab my info.
I own factorio on GOG but there’s no way in hell I’m going to do that bullshit. I completely understand people being unwilling to buy because of this DRM. I bought it off GOG to avoid DRM. If I had known there’s no way in hell I’d have bought this game.
Seriously, great game, fuck wube for shoving DRM down my throat for a mod. Lube up boys. Fuck that. 50 dollars and I have to submit to this man who fears piracy, an inevitability, more than they value real ownership of your product. Now I have to use an inferior product to avoid this trash
If I could I’d refund just to pirate.
Unless it was a recent change factorio doesn’t “require” a account. When I host my server I disable verification and my friends who still haven’t bought it are able to join no problems. If server has verification on then they can’t.
To download mods from their website, you do need an account linked to the client, this meme is not about joining servers
Sorry that the developers don’t cater to making life easier for people that haven’t bought their game lmao what an entitled take
