From Wikipedia's page on live service games:

"This often leads to games that work under a live service model to be called "living games" or "live games" since they continually change with these updates."

Living games. Riiiight. Contradiction in terms maybe?

I got the feeling that fits quite well the fact that they're dying some day...?

edit: Oh it's some Patreon nag screen thing? I guess that's OK.

They have a ten seconds countdown nag screen IIRC. Bearable.

No Tux, no b...
Ah wait, it's free! :)
Good opportunity to see if I could cope with the game and buy the full version.

I think you all didn't read it correctly!

"AI-centric management system centered on Agentic AI" for "automating tasks while allowing employees to focus on creative activities and complex problem-solving".

They're going to fire the managers and the devs will be given even more space to be creative!

Right?!?

For the first treatment of getting older and not being able to read as easy as in the old times anymore, they've got "reading helpers" (cheap glasses) in the drugstores around here, for five to ten bucks.

Most text in most games is around the size of text on a phone or a paperback, or bigger. The OLED screen is marginally bigger than the LCD screen.

... and there's a Steam Deck verification category like "text hard to read".

If you like 2000s FPS games you should definitely check it out.

In the first moment I thought: Yes, such graphics should do 2000 frames per second - but why should I like this?!? 😋

My biggest surprise is that so many game devs choose to self-report rather than keep it hush-hush to avoid turning principled potential buyers away.

How do we know they are...?
I mean, all or at least most of them?

Nice little improvement, again.

You can also just head direct to a bundle page for any game on Steam if you grab their app ID via: https://store.steampowered.com/bundlelist/ [External Link]*appid*

Now that's handy! So you don't even need the name's game for it.

I also found that it shows an extra list for all bundles you already have complete.

I got many of these. :)
