Bad news to wake up to, though I can't say I'm surprised after this was predicted when Epic Games bought the company earlier last year.

I suppose this is a win for the DRM-Free gang of Gog/Itch.io and physical game media too (who always argue they buy DRM-Free for these cases).

Honestly it erodes trust in online digital content platforms which enough of will collapse the market and plunge the world back into piracy. Netflix is dealing with this with Disney Plus and other platforms ruining the available content.

I feel bad for people who actually played RL. This is also a argument and lesson against centralized online gameplay servers.

The more control that can be put in the user's hands (edit: The better) -- this happens time and again with games like Burnout Paradise shutting down their online service. Fools -- if you built it right to begin with you could play P2P or with user-hosted worlds.

I mean StarCraft is 30 years old and Unreal Tournament 2K 20 years and both were designed for online play without main servers only a list of active servers.

What a mess. EPIC FAIL.

I hope they fixed the reaction time design mechanic flaw of sonic.

As I recall putting sonic at the middle of the screen the player has less than 0.5 seconds to react to obstacles that appear.

Quoting: BrazilianGamer

Quoting: The_Aquabatwhy there was no Brasil Fire Relief Bundle? I'm the only one that thinks that Humble bundle needs to be more diverse?

Yeah. We already know the answer actually. But this is not the place to talk about it

Excellent setup. My condolences. Agree. Maybe someday it wont be that way.

There is a 0% chance I will buy Soundtracks unless I can manually copy the MP3, FLAC, or whatever files. Is this the case?

Their keyboards are a low quality plastic that shine after use and really wear and tear hard.

As someone who has the money to virtually buy anything the "Visual Coolness" factor of Razer is the only appeal IMO. I am convinced their prepherals are close to shit.

I write this on a Ducky next to a DeathAdder Elite and let me tell you it has had all kinds of USB errors clogging up my DMESG -- it was worth the sale price of $30 I paid for it but my BenQ ZOWIE FK1 honestly outshines it in all mechanical areas other than visually.

Considering their laptops I assume are Nvidia only, that would be a strong reason for me also to not buy their products considering the AMD graphics are just so much nicer to use on Linux aswell.

As a consumer I have learned to fear late software updates.

On iPhone and Android it means they are zapping your phones speed to get you to buy a new product.

After buying a Nvidia GTX 970 and the lawsuit over false advertising on the GDDR capacity and speed I'm not optimistic.

These Xen Chapter screenshots are basically half-life-porn. I'm in my playthrough right now so this is great news, only had one choppy moment at the helicopter overworld hanger scene. (edit: prior to the update)

This game is a masterpiece, major props for the developers for putting in the work for us and SteamOS.
