Worried about when this Playtron thing inevitably implodes that the open source devs they hired will quit working on projects out of disillusionment.

Apparently the ai companies have all the hardware they need but they are still buying to stock pile all of it. Theres going to be a massive flood of hardware being dumped onto the 2nd hand market when the bubble bursts and the companies are liquidating.

I'm probably one of the very few people on the planet who not only loves FF8, but that consider it to be their favorite of the series. I actually played this before 7 which I didn't get around to until much later. So much nostalgia with it and I still enjoy it to the present which is rare for things I have nostalgia for.

Quoting: QYMEIt still a shame that ff4 years after, the pixel version, is stuck on the psp. We can only buy the 3d one nowadays.
What? The pixel version is on Steam. Not sure what you are talking about.

Quoting: Tethys84I hope the Lord of the Rings MMO is dead. I didn't want them to make that from the start.
IIRC, Lord of the Rings is still copyrighted in some countries. Since Amazon has the license, that will (for now) mean that nobody else is making it, either. Which sucks, because I am starved for a new major MMO that's not some action-combat garbage.

But I do agree that it would have been crap anyway. Amazon just can't make games.
There is still the current MMO which I feel is really great even though its dated. It's the best Middle Earth simulator there is.

Though it almost certainly won't happen, I'm probably one of the only people on Earth who would love to see this guy get a redemption story before his career ends. I feel like he's been his own worst enemy with regard to promoting his games and would have been much better off keeping a low profile this entire time. One of my favorite games ever was Black and White. I have many good memories of playing that when it was new.

Quoting: SzkodnixI wonder what's the progress on private servers.
I doubt enough people care enough to make the project worth it and it would just get cease and desisted into oblivion anyway.

Valve tweak Steam Community Awards to deal with point farming and "attention-grabbing content"

Finally! The clown award needed to be gone a long time ago. People totally abuse that to bully others with whom they disagree. You would see them piling onto reviews that were disliked in order to discredit them. I've had people do that to me on the Steam forums when I tried to argue against the incel, right-wing extremists who are attacking games for existing because they don't cater to them exclusively, and I was bombarded with the clown award. I can't help but wonder what took Valve so long. Now, they just need to eliminate the forums altogether because they are just one big cesspit.

Uhm... this is really old news now. Like from earlier last year. I could swear I even saw this reported about on here before.
