This sounds like game preservation!

I found today that long posts in the activity page are shortened with a link to read more. Love it. There were games I took off my watch list due to too long news postings.

*edit* I don't mind if devs want to talk and show off. I just don't want to scroll a meter to the next game.

This game is tough to compare to other games, since it had insane levels of hype and wishlists, but I do wonder how many people gave up on it (as I did) simply due to frustrating difficulty. Are we a minority or a majority? Not sure.

Maybe it can be estimated by the percentage of achievements? Of course, some being in the game will still play on, but it might give a hint.

(I had a case with a point and click where you could choose the level to play. There was a certain amount of people who wanted to see the ending, but not play through all levels...)

Now I will download it to my NAS and own it forever! Mwuhahaha!

That's good of course, but usually you can still download the game after is has been "delisted".

To me, it looks like one of those "nobody wants to do it because nobody is doing it".

More like "Nobody wants to do it, because it is work/costs money and doesn't pay"?

I have fond memories of Liège waffles with their sugar starting to caramelize inside and outside, sweet, warm, soft, and a bit chewy & crunchy from the caramel.

I never ate one, but now I want to! :wub:

It's not compression, it's delta-patching. The updates are the diffs between the old files and the new. After you've downloaded the diffs your computer uses that data to create the new files from the parts.

Well... I wouldn't believe if you told they're not transferring compressed (which you didn't explicitly do).
And delta transfer shouldn't do much CPU noise on the receiving side.

Does it fail/gives you an error when you try?

Will need to take a look; thanks for asking!

Isn't it nice that Microsoft lets them do such work on that old games, including the Linux version as it seems?

I'm using Steam and I'm using my (Linux) PC for many other things, and I bet that's the case for most of us. So yes, I think their point is valid.

No it's not, because Bazzite is far more [...]

I cannot comment on Bazzite. I was talking about Steam being a gaming site, but many Steam users probably still using their PC for many things, not only gaming.
