good to know, I've been wondering what the odds were

Unciv the open source remake of Civilization V is heading to Steam

Wow, first time I heard of this, but it's not too surprising, since I pretty much stopped following open source game releases after the demise of happypenguin.org a.k.a. The Linux Game Tome. :sad:

Ok, but why? What's in it for the society/country? Most of the time I don't have an idea what country a given game is made in until Steam puts it on a country-focused sale, nor do I care. From the list, I only ever heard of a few and only because they are sequels. Also what the hell is "codename mashed potato" at #5?

Wow, what a weird thing to spend taxpayers' money on. Not the worst way, but still weird.

Thankfully, Cloud Gaming fans still have the likes of GeForce NOW, Xbox Cloud Gaming and Luna
Where do cloud gaming fans who don't like subscriptions go?
Would they have gone to Stadia in the first place?
Yes, on Stadia you could just buy a game and play it without limits, no need for any subscription.

I am silently hoping Ubi will pick it up as a white label, and even more that Valve will build something similar (Neon Prime?).

I really don't like the idea of publishing a remake where the original authors don't get a cut.

You can export game saves, I don't know if they are compatible with PC builds of a game though.
Yeah, Rockstar has already announced it will be possible to transfer the progress in Red Dead Online to another platform, but I don't know if it also applies to story mode, we'll see. Maybe I will manage to 100% it before stadia shuts down and won't have to rebuy it on steam. I don't particularly care about the multiplayer part or finding all collectibles etc.
