Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.

Ah, yeah, so when I play an old game that's kept alive by the community with dedicated servers and some random user were e.g. using hate speech or such in (voice) chat, then the publisher, that released and discontinued that game way before there were laws about hate speech is now liable?! Ha ha. In other news, if you fear that you might be liable for this, why publish software which light be problematic in a few months/years/...? Also multiplayer lobbies and unsafe community content - name a more iconic duo. You often ignore reports about toxic players and hackers anyway, although you probably are liable for their damages (at least after we reported them)

In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.

Then why the fuck are Singleplayer Games designed to be online only? Also, why not just release a docker image of your server plus a docker-compose/kubernetes deployment definition? You're usually using cloud hosting and automated deployment anyways, so you probably already have one laying around anyways...

I'm trying to buy a support tier on the Google Play version of Shattered PD. I have two Google Accounts linked to my phone. Account A, which I used to install the game and is linked as a Google Play Games Account to the game (and that has Google Play credits available) and a second one - Account B - with no Play store credits, which shouldn't be used with or be connected to the game in any way.

When I hit the IAP of one of the support tiers, it always opens up the payment method selection of Account B. I already tried to uninstall the game and install it with the correct account (which helps for other apps in this case) and also reconnected Google Play Games to make sure it's also tied to account A. But the only way to pay is account B. there's no Account selection in the payment dialog.

Has anybody an idea, how I can get the game to use Account A for IAP?!

A rather easy one.

I have a series in jellyfin. The first seasons are dubbed german, the later seasons are only in the original dub. Is it possible to force two separate entries for this season (e.g. "Example Series (German)" - containing Seasons 1-3 and "Example Series (English)" containing Seasons 4-6)? Problem is, that not all users that have access to this library are fluent in English and I want to avoid that they think this series is available in full only to switch the language halfway through...

Or is there another way to do/indicate something like this?

I know I could just tell them, but will they remember that in a few months?

...kam war er etwa zu schnell?
