It's always nice to see the game go from Broken to Native, and btw I'm always interested in a good roguelike, and this game looks like one. :-)

No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve

Joke's on them, when I die, my kids will be the first to get my steam password, and Valve will be the last to know. :tongue:

I just wonder what they would do if they did find out. Would they disable the account? Would they dismantle the Family where I am the only adult and sharing the games with my kids?

Atari acquires Intellivision brand and over 200 games

Quoting: thelimeydragonyeah but it's not a case of someone took over their business when they died/retired, the companies died. Someone else bought the name and made new companies with it.

All the original owners of Nintendo are dead and even the people who took it over from them are all dead. It's still the same company.
Fair, but then again, you can revive the brand and keep it true to the original vision and you can keep the brand alive but steer it in the opposite direction. So it's all relative, as the wise man said.

Quoting: thelimeydragonA bunch of people who have nothing to do with the original company bought a company that is made of a bunch of people who have nothing to do with that original company either.
To be frank, the thing with these old companies is that the founders and early employees tend to be dead or retired.

They're employing the FOMO technique to get us to purchase the game, nothing particularly new.

I just hope they don't add any new achievements, because I'm done with this one. It was fun, though. ;-) Very good for local multiplayer sessions.

You said all that I was thinking, just one thing to add:

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhat I don't understand is why the publisher started financing in the first place.
It seems obvious that this never really had a chance of much success. And a publisher should have the market overview to recognize that.
My guess is they started before it was announced that Dwarf Fortress was coming to Steam, that's all.

The Warlords series and the five original Close Combat games appear on Steam

A lot of fun hours spent playing Warlords (I) with the whole family. I wonder if they work in Remote Play Together or whatever it's called. I already bought these ports at GOG, but it's not the same to play alone. Might buy again for online play, though. Lord Bane FTW! :P
