I would build a drone that's got some width but an extension on the front meant to clear narrow gaps I can't fit the whole body through; and if I had any aesthetic control over my creation I would try to make it resemble the landers from Star Control 2.

That makes literally no sense. I will reach out to them again.

It doesn't make sense because we're reading it backwards. For some reason the comments read from bottom up rather than top down. Discord Games LLC is replying to the comment below it asking about XBone and Switch.

You know it looks like you're right. Too hot, too hot to think clearly :p

I'd probably build a mindless drone. So I can simulate the majority of Earth's population. Lol.

Very nice news for a rts addict as me. However my fav rts is starcraft series, having generals in the pocket is reaaly good.

Thank you Stray Fawn Studio for this generous offer!

I would like to duplicate the drone that is depicted in the 1987 movie "Cherry 2000".

Quoting: mylkawhats an uber AAA game for you? i think ubisoft has a lot of such games. more than EA and they can live without steam

Games which will make people install your launcher no matter if they like it or not. Battlefield, FIFA, Assassin's Creed, ...

I didn't use Steam for a very long time, until I had to, due to wanting Skyrim so much. Such games.

so ubisoft has their own big sellers. assassins creed, far cry, watch dogs, tom clancy, south park, beyond good an evil 2

do you think ubisoft would sell the same amount of copies, if they sell their games only on uplay?

This reminds me of the movie Kooky even though it's a different style:

I told them about horrible controle several months ago, and sadly it's still horrible.

I saw that you did post on the Steam forum too, maybe they will react more efficiently...

I'd build a Suicide Nuke Drone, it has a nuke strapped to it & flies to the target then dive bombs them & takes everything within 20 miles with it in a flash.

edit: I wrote this comment before watching the video.

Quoting: mylkamaybe they get more money with each sale, but now they have higher costes. own servers and linux programmer for the launcher
maybe gog follows

I think that it's simply that they have now grown big enough to where those costs are less than having to give away 30% of each sale to companies such as Valve.

Now I don't have longer data than back to 2013 in the database (they listed their share in 2016) but they seam to have made some nice increase in both sales and profit (ptp in the table below is the pre-tax-profit) and while not close to a behemoth like EA they are probably as I wrote before closing in on the kind of sales numbers where 30% suddenly are quite a lot of actual money (aprox 35M EUR in 2017 if we assume that all sales are from places like Steam).

does steam really take 30%. assassins creed costs the same on steam and uplay. actually its now cheaper in the steam sale, than the uplay sale
why wouldnt ubisoft make their games like 10-20% cheaper in their own store? the customers would pay less, so they would get more costumers and they would make more money with each sale

why is EA selling their games only on origin, but ubisoft isnt, if they would save so much money?

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but years ago, EA games were removed from Steam because they breached Valve's policy of no in-game purchases.

but ubisoft does it with games like far cry and assassins creed
i can say how its in EA games today. i dont play them. the last game in years was unravel

Steam is near to a PC games online selling monopoly. They could demand that games are not sold somewhere else cheaper. Not selling on Steam will cost you lots of sales if you don't have the uber AAA game.

Quoting: BeamboomIf they need to heavily rewrite their own inhouse engine to make it work, that's an entirely different ballpark of course. But do that even happen, ever?

I'm not the right person to ask that kind of question, but one example I can think of as far as in-house engines are concerned is Carmageddon: Reincarnation; which, as we know, is unlikely to ever get ported as initially promised.

Quoting: GuestIf you mean nobody has made a Numix icon, it should still use the icon provided by Paradox. In fact, said icon is shown correctly in the menus (both on plasma and gnome-shell) but once the app has started the icon in the dock goes back to a generic one, a question mark on gnome shell and the xorg one in plasma. It's probably something related to wrong WM_CLASS property settings in the app itself or the .desktop file...

Ah. Sorry. Misunderstood the problem. Yeah, it's probably something like that. I'm getting a generic icon in Plank, too. Usually when it falls back to the application's own, it's at a lower resolution, but it's not even doing that.
