PayPalZOOM Platform Media just gave the classic racers FlatOut and FlatOut 2 some more free upgrades, nice to see them continued to be supported. Both games are Steam Deck Verified / SteamOS Compatible, with the developers at ZOOM Platform Media ensuring they work well through previous upgrades.
For FlatOut:
- Added 18 brand new achievements!
- If you have already met their requirements, some achievements will automatically unlock. Due to how the game tracked statistics before this update, some achievements, require you to accomplish them with a new save.
- Improved LOD and render distance.
- Added Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese localizations.
- Other minor fixes.

Ugh I wish my copies I had purchased from GOG had transferred over back when they were doing that library share thing with Steam. They're $1.49 and $1.99 right now on Steam though so I went ahead and re-purchased them there.

Funny timing, a few weeks ago I scored 3 perfect 10s in a row in the Ring Of Fire and was surprised when there was no achievement.
Flat Out 2 is a great Steam Deck game, The Career Mode map circuits can be a little redundant, and some of the stunt modes like the High Jump seem almost impossible to score #1 on, but it runs great and is a lot of fun.
That video intro though, it's a PITA you can't skip like 2 minuets of startup video on Steam Deck launch.

I'm a little confused. Is ZOOM Platform Media separate and distinct from the ZOOM Platform storefront? Or, does the storefront sell Steam keys? I'd be somewhat surprised if a non-Steam, DRM-free version from the storefront included Steam achievements...
