That's pretty terrible messaging. "Shut down without releasing the game" isn't necessarily better, but they're saying "this game won't be good enough" (because if they were confident it would sell like hot cakes they wouldn't need to close) and "this game won't be fixed" (because the people that might fix it aren't there). All before the game is even on sale.
Still, best of luck to the devs wherever they end up next.

Goodwill from nostalgia could serve as a useful focal point for talent, but the only thing that will actually matter is early big success. Nostalgia won't be enough on its own. Sega and Atari are only limping along. Acclaim would have to aim for "at least as good as Anapurna" if they're to get any momentum.

An increasing amount of brand-new AAA games are just beyond the capability of the Steam Deck.I view it more as "an increasing amount of brand-new AAA games don't run well on any hardware, but high-end rigs can power through for a mostly-tolerable experience if you don't mind stuttering."

Isn't Windows 10 end-of-life coming up pretty soon?October.
Or end of Steam support for it, or something?Steam only dropped support for Windows 7 & 8 at the beginning of last year, and they've been EOL for ages. Even then they only got dropped because they got dropped by Chrome.

The NVidia installer now asks "Multiple kernel module types are available for this system. Which would you like to use?" with the options being "NVIDIA Proprietary" and "MIT/GPL" - anyone care to summarize what you get with MIT/GPL?https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/nvidia-switching-to-open-kernel-modules-by-default-in-future-driver-update-for-turing/

I gotta say... That sounds horrible. An Arrakis covered in penises with hundreds of Muad'Dibs running around sounds like a thoroughly awful time.

Worried you might get lost in the sequel? They've said the game will actually begin with a recap of the first game, and they've also put up a new Bridging the Gap video to give you a brief rundown of the eventsI mean, the first game isn't super long (which is generally true for point & clicks), isn't especially expensive, and is really good, so I'd say just play that while you're waiting for the sequel.

Meh. The original is great and looks great. A remake is unnecessary.

I personally find these big events more than a little overwhelming. I fear I'm missing out on so much because masses of developers choose to only have their demos up for such a limited amount of time.It is disappointing that devs are so stingy with their demos, but I am grateful to the Next Fests that we get demos again at all.
