I know UK left the EU, but I wasn’t aware they had joined USA.

Then the news title will change to 2026 as well.

I only read the first one so far. It’s alright but they’re not written by Clancy sadly.

Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one).

Edit: nevermind, I’m so wrong. It starts with a different agent at chapter 1 that threw me off but the entire book is focused on Sam Fisher.

So uhm, they made a mobile port of a pc/console port of a mobile port of the original pc/console games?

They still haven’t formally announced that development on KSP2 has stopped right? They didnt even announce the studio shutdown. Yet it’s still on sale on Steam…

So much for the “Red Dead Redemption isn’t big enough for PC” reason they gave for not porting it back in the day.

Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn’t become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.

I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don’t think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn’t like it that much.

Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980’s Battlezone. I’ve seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).

On a slightly different note, around the same time, Machines made by Acclaim got released which was an RTS where you could control any unit as an FPS. The name is quite unfortunate since Googling information about it is difficult. If you like Battlezone then then you might like this one as well.

Looks like a fun game. Thanks for sharing.

Also remember Horse Armor DLC for Oblivion, released by Bethesda? Considered by many to be the catalyst of this kind of BS.

Yes, the profit is excessive, but it’s because they have a good product where the competition has not really been putting in much effort and letting Valve get away with it for so long.

Valve’s goal isn’t to maximize profit because they don’t have shareholders that demand it. If they really wanted to maximize profits then there’s a whole lot more to squeeze out of Steam and the games they made. And yes I agree Valve can lower their cut and still make bucket loads of money, but I highly doubt that if they did reduce their cut it would actually lead to cheaper games except for a maybe a few. Because just like Valve, the devs and publishers are profit driven and why would they turn down a potentially bigger profit?

Steam didn’t get to where it is because of market abuse but because of providing a good service, or at least a service that was better than anything else at the time by far. Valve are reaping the rewards now, but are also still providing an arguably better service than it’s competitors. It’s a bit odd that you want to punish a company just for being successful.

Valve isn’t perfect and they’re profit driven, but they’re privately owned and the goals isn’t maximizing profit, which isn’t something you can say about most of their competitors.

I guess that the devs needed to strike a balance between the old style and making sure it fits with the current style since I think you can combine tiles from all themes in a single map.

The gods are impressed

I used to play this game quite a bit. Good times.

Also to add to this, you are disqualified from contributing code to the WINE project if you’ve seen parts of the Windows source code for this exact same reason.

I was going to upvote your comment but I didn’t because you didn’t ask for it. Sorry.

X or Wayland? I had lots of issues with Wayland and X seemed to work a lot better. I still prefer to do VR on Windows.

Factorio is a pretty demanding game as long as you play long enough

Hopefully a better UI for Oblivion, with the included ability to actually remove spells.

Gamespot did 55 hours and IGN started NG+ at 60 hours according to their respective video reviews.

Have you played Divinity Original Sin 2? How does it compare?

It’s really expensive but they also might make really a lot of money with their current practice that makes it worthwhile to make two seperate versions.

They’ve fixed it to a point where it’s a great game, I agree. But this post is about preordering and preordering and then having to wait for more than a year to play a properly fixed game beats the purpose of preordering in the first place. You could get it for a steep discount at that point.

CD Project RED used to be one of those studios that never miss, but then Cyberpunk happened. So it’s never a true guarantee.
