FWIW, they’ve announced they’ll add an offline mode to this game. Personally I liked this game less that The Crew 1 when I played it during a free weekend though.

I’ve been playing the new Guild Wars 2 expansion “Janthir Wilds”. Very enjoyable, with a nice setting and soundtrack.
I’ve bought Spin Rhythm XD on the recent Steam Sale. Quite a nice rhythm game, with excellent native Steam Deck support.
I’ve also been giving Deadlock a go. So far hasn’t really clicked for me though. Doesn’t help that I’m not a big MOBA player, the only one I’ve enjoyed so far is Heroes of the Storm.
Reading the full statement, it sounds to me like there was more to it than just the game’s development coming to an end. It sounds like it might have been a very sudden decision by the publisher, with possible negative consequences for the development team.
In principle I agree though, there is no issue with a game just being finished at some point, especially a single player one. But I also don’t mind continued updates and/or DLC.
That is very much not their official website. Looks pretty sketchy in fact, with that “GTA V Download APK” link on the bottom.
It’ll likely be like 2020, you can play offline but it’ll be a much less detailed version of the planet. They pretty much have to use streaming for the high-detail environments, as nobody would have the disk space for it otherwise.
I don’t agree with it starting the wrong conversation. Something does need to be done about companies denying access to a game you bought and that’s the conversation it starts. If this proposal lands on the EU negotiation table, I can guarantee you that the games industry will lobby against it, and heavily. There is no chance the EU will just go “OK sounds good, make it so!”. Heck, the chances are higher that if they pass an actual law, it will be so watered down that it won’t do anything at all. But then at least we tried.
I’ve watched his first video, but I really don’t agree with many of his points. He only barely acknowledges this being a proposal and then gets lost in the details. He’s clearly against any measures that have the slightest potential to be a disadvantage for game developers, which I guess is understandable from his perspective as a developer. But he doesn’t seem to particularly care about the consumer’s rights, basically saying the problem is solved as soon as the publisher makes it clear at purchase that people are only buying a temporary license. He’s also trying to discredit supporters of the initiative by saying they don’t know how the industry works, despite quite a few people in the industry supporting the initiative as well.
Really doesn’t matter whether the proposal as it is in the petition is completely realistic or not. The point is to get this topic into the EU parliament. It’ll be their job to work out a solution that works for both consumers and developers.
My post was talking specifically about peoples’ reactions to the World of Goo 2 launch though, including the part you quoted.
That’s not the point, because that’s not the situation here. The game isn’t exclusive, wasn’t pulled from any stores and was funded by Epic games. You don’t see Valve-published or funded games on EGS either.
There are games where the criticism against Epic was completely valid. This isn’t one of those.
Yeah, with a launcher- and DRM-free version, I think the hate is quite misplaced here. It’s especially extreme on reddit. There is an irony of people who are supposedly against exclusivity writing things like “No steam no purchase.”. I guarantee those people never complain about a Steam-exclusive game not being on GoG or EGS.
Should be very easy to install it on the Steam Deck from the website, especially as it even has a native Linux version.
I’ve spent a total of $5 on the game and FWIW, I think I got my money’s worth. The game’s development is severely mismanaged and I don’t think it’ll ever realize its vision, but I think it’s worth checking it out even if it’s just for looking at some of its technological achievements.
You get ten ships to fly for the free fly event.
I hope they’ll improve the management side of things. Planet Coaster has great building tools, but without good economy and progression systems, I quickly lost interest in my parks.
That much is a given. Nintendo never goes for top-performance (well, not since the 90s) and it wouldn’t make sense for them either.
I see. The developer once using a generic “he” on a different project and being snarky about it would be pretty low on my reasons not to use Ladybird, but I had no intentions to use it anyway, so eh.
Maybe I’m missing something, but these seem to be the build instructions. What part is gendered in there?
I’m not impressed by this. Doesn’t seem like much of an RPG anymore, but like a generic action game with thin slices of RPG elements at best. I don’t mind the game not being open world, but the levels shown seem to effectively be linear corridors without any variety in how to approach a situation.
This game was announced in January 2023, and its name is the name of the book from 1905 it’s based on. Don’t really see any malicious intent here.
Maybe, but it’s worth noting that Ubi gave away the Crew 1 for free back in 2016, 7 years before it shut down. So I wouldn’t necessarily take this sale as an indication of a shutdown coming soon (though it definitely could happen).
