Quoting: seamooseI half expected the dev to be based either in the UK or Argentina, but instead they're based in Norway...

The name of the game is Molvinas in South America :tongue:

That's very impressive. They can open image file, a thing that Windows 11 can't do natively :whistle:.

Quoting: tonitchI wonder what thos spikes down in may are ?

They are usually caused by sudden rise in Chinese steam on Windows usage. A phenomenon not well understood but which tends to occur every few month.

Quoting: pete910Why do people take any notice the steam survey ?

Because it's all we've got?
Conjure me some more accurate, comprehensive, and transparent information and I'll pay attention to that instead.

But why take any notice of inherently flawed data whether its all we've got or not ?

Science works that way, if it's good enough for science, it should be good enough. (Yes, I'm doing experimental not theoretical research :happy:)

Quoting: BumadarDoes this mean there is a sudden drop in simplified Chinese?
And more interesting, what cause the rise of simplified Chinese, like an opening I the great Chinese firewall or ?

It's anyone guess. Mine is that any tricks able to fool the time limitation allowed for video game per day in China is able to fool the steam tracker and so there is a significant proportion of Chinese users that are counted multiple time because of some way to fool the trackers preventing children to play more than 3 hours a week.

The previous one was awesome, there were some real gems (and some totally dispensable games too, but overall it was really great :grin: ). I am very grateful for having discovered Ato, one of my best video game experience ever and orbi universo thet lead me to endless self-reflection about society. I'm sure this year have amazing games too.

A bit late to the party but I was wondering to whose sovereignity the Sovereign Tech Fund was refering. Turn up it is a fund setup by some German administrations, the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz and the Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen.
So I guess we need to thank Germany for this one. I'm a bit disappointed that it is not a EU initiative, the EU needs strong common policy in favor of opensource.

Quoting: GuestSorry, not in "other" ways, but in additional ways, as the old ways of them doing evil are still used by microsoft.

I haven't heard them having stopped supporting patent trolling or extorting protection money. They find way to profit from Linux through, and bloc companies that could have been more open to Free software from making thriving business with Linux by occupying a marketshare with Azure. Contrary to IBM/Red Hat, Microsoft does not contribute to Linux Desktop if you wants an example, and does not maintain a free user oriented Linux distribution based on Azure.

Does 100% include the tax part (VAT) ? Because even if Epic don't take its 12%, tax office will takes its cut (around 20% in most countries, at least the one I know)
