Quoting: EhvisTo be fair, you can have all kinds of thoughts on the closing down of a studio. But Volition hasn't really produced anything noteworthy for a decade. And after SR reboot, what reason was there to keep sticking with it? At some point keeping it open becomes charity.
Hopefully they sacked the management and redirected talented staff to other companies, at least those who wanted to stay.

itch.io is hosting another big Queer Games Bundle for Pride Month
2 Jun 2023 at 8:45 am UTC

Quoting: slaapliedjeItch.io is odd. Like I think I bought some giant RPG bundle, but only ever get 'this thing has been updated' for one of them.
After the first giant bundle, some people complained about getting their library cluttered, so itch.io changed it so that you need to manually "activate" the games you bought in a bundle in order for them to appear in the library. For compulsive collectors, like me, it's of course suboptimal; fortunately there's a tampermonkey script that will do it for you: https://gist.github.com/lats/c920866caf9c0cb04e82abba411e1bb9 [External Link]

Anything great in this one?

tick the current bundle in the filters on the left and then you can sort e.g. by popularity or steam rating.
