no AI instalation wizard? no paywall? no internet connection required? no face scan based age verification? 🥺👉👈

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 19 points 3 months ago

I don’t game, nor do I use Windows or generally install software via random executables (package managers ftw) — all that to say, “do AI installation wizards really exist?”

If they don't yet, I'm certain they will in the near future.

an AI installation wizard is one of those openclaw bots installed on your machine with root permissions and you tell it to install firefox

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

So a package manager with extra steps? Even windows has a package manager so what's the point of an AI install wizard?

Shareholders

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

btw “package manager” is just a way to categorize your “random” execs. plenty of nonsense sneaks in. please still review your exec sources.

[-] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

I mean, generally package managers are hosted by a trusted party that screens execs before making them available. But yeah, still think about where you get your software from.

That's why the Microsoft store is the best place to get applications on windows./s

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

There’s a difference between installing from (hopefully) a trusted source and going to some random website and downloading a fucking executable.

And I’m not even getting into fake download ads on Google or the multitude of other problems that come along with this style of software installation.

Why does this look like a stack of tuna cans

[-] kuiskaaja@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

they should ship the game on this

[-] DataCrime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Because the last time you saw that packaging was the 90’s and those colors were everywhere 😆

[-] Tiral@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

You know the lady that developed the paint brush design on paper cups didn't make a dollar from it? The company did like an internal contest and she "won"

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Wow, that's fucked.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Just sell it on an SSD. That way even the regular version is over $100.

[-] michaelalf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

With the current prices of SSDs it would be one very expensive game. $80 for the base game + ~$80 for a 512gb SSD... Ouch. Though I would 100% buy it for the novelty and just to own a physical copy instead of some randomly generated code.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Okay how big did they say the game is gonna be? Can’t be more than 200 GB

[-] DataCrime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

So only 4, 100 packs… and a slot loading drive with a robot arm. We can do this ;-)

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

200 GB / 5 GB = 40 ~~GB~~

That pack is enough for two copies

Edit: 🤦

[-] polotype@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Those units are having a fun time

[-] remon@ani.social 7 points 3 months ago

I hope it ships with a dvd drive too, because no one has those any more.

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

Blu-ray drives can be expensive, but USB DVD drives are only ~$20.

I'd also expect anyone who would care about the "physical" edition of the next GTA only being a download code in the box would have a disc drive on the device they wanted to install it on.

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

or they just want to complete a collection. even if the physical media contains a code and some map pdfs etc.

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I have one that plugs into my PC via USB port. I still listen to my audio CDs with it. I also was ferried to school on the backs of dinosaurs.
