Whois & Analysis for skidrowcodex.net

PC games, also known as computer games or personal computer games, are video games played on a personal computer rather than a dedicated video game console or arcade machine.

Their defining characteristics include a lack of any centralized controlling authority, a greater degree of user control over the video-gaming hardware and software used and a generally greater capacity in input, processing, and output.

Downloadable content (DLC) is additional content created for a released video game.

It is distributed through the Internet by the game's official publisher.

Downloadable content can be of several types, ranging from aesthetic outfit changes to a new, extensive storyline, similar to an expansion pack.

As such, DLC may add new game modes, objects, levels, challenges or other features to a complete, already released game.

An ISO image is an archive file of an optical disc, a type of disk image composed of the data contents from every written sector on an optical disc, including the optical disc file system.

ISO image files usually have a file extension of.iso.

The name ISO is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but what is known as an ISO image might also contain a UDF (ISO/IEC 13346) file system (commonly used by DVDs and Blu-ray Discs).

A patch is a piece of software designed to update a computer program or its supporting data, to fix or improve it.

This includes fixing security vulnerabilities and other bugs, with such patches usually called bugfixes or bug fixes, and improving the usability or performance.

Although meant to fix problems, poorly designed patches can sometimes introduce new problems (see software regressions).

In some special cases updates may knowingly break the functionality, for instance, by removing components for which the update provider is no longer licensed or disabling a device.

Digital distribution (also called content delivery, online distribution, or electronic software distribution (ESD), among others) is the delivery or distribution of media content such as audio, video, software and video games.

The term is generally used to describe distribution over an online delivery medium, such as the Internet, thus bypassing physical distribution methods, such as paper, compact discs, and VHS videocassettes.

The term online distribution is typically applied to freestanding products; downloadable add-ons for other products are more commonly known as downloadable content.

With the advancement of network bandwidth capabilities, online distribution became prominent in the 21st century.
