Quoting: Guest
Quoting: liamdaweI never played the keen games as a younger man....
Wow, are you that young, or am I that old?? :O
Ah those wonderful times, Keen, Cosmo, Monster Bash....
Well, same goes for me. Problem was I had an Amiga at this time and no PC :D,
and these games haven't been ported :(

New Steam Store, Lots Of New Stuff
23 Sep 2014 at 6:15 pm UTC

Most important feature has been implemented.
Finally I can see what Games & DLCs I own already. So thanks for that.
But why the hell took it so long to implement such a mandatory feature? :D

Also I like the new look, but would like to opt-out of this recommendation crap.

Quoting: DrMcCoyAnd yes, it would be really nice if I could remove all that crap from the frontpage and just move updates from followed games and followed greenlight games there.
Yup, that would be a very nice feature :)

Mojang Confirms Microsoft Is Buying The Minecraft Maker

"What about the other editions of Minecraft? Will they stop being developed?
There’s no reason for the development, sales, and support of the PC/Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android versions of Minecraft to stop."

Is there a reason why Linux isn't mentioned here?

Mojang Confirms Microsoft Is Buying The Minecraft Maker

Oh well! Congratulations Notch for pulling Microsoft over the Table. 2,5 Billion Dollar is just insane xD.

But what will that mean for Minecraft now?
Will we ever see the promised Mod-API or is that off the table now too?

BTW: Didn't Notch promise to release the Source if he looses interest in developing Minecraft? What happened to that? :P:whistle:

Train Fever Business Simulation Game Now On Linux
12 Sep 2014 at 11:31 am UTC

Quoting: jsa1983
Quoting: subI guess it does not feature a single-player campaign?
You mean like missions? At the moment, no.

Basically, at the moment it is a free play game which can start in 1850, 1900 or 1950 (if I recall correctly), with no AI competitors, but with financial/economic constraints (i.e., no sandbox game with "loadsa" money). A nice feature is that the maps are randomly generated (you can input the random seed so you can replay a map). I hope this answers your question.
So no campaign, no AI and no Multiplayer?!? Shame, it looks pretty good :(

Lol! Well, you found a "Windhose". (Whirlwind) :P

I'm not really surprised. They sold of their games in Bundles many times. Mostly in Humble Bundles. Where should the buyers on Steam come from?
