It's sad to see Mozilla making the same bad choices. Prioritizing shareholder profits seems to come above everything else.

Lest we forget:

- Rewriting Firefox Terms of Use / Privacy Notice with broad licensing language (appeared to grant Mozilla rights to user input; caused major user backlash; subsequently revised)

- Moving toward increased ad revenue and partnerships (adding sponsored content/ads in Firefox and related services), raising concerns about monetization vs. privacy

- Heavy financial dependence on Google search-default deals (large portion of revenue from Google), raising conflict-of-interest and independence concerns

- Leadership controversies and contentious executive appointments (e.g., Brendan Eich 2014 CEO appointment controversy over prior political donation)

- Removing or deprecating user-favored features and products (e.g., Pocket shutdown, Fakespot removal, UI changes like Proton tab removals) that alienated loyal users

- Product regressions and reliability/performance regressions reported by users (pages/apps breaking, higher memory use, regressions in performance)

- Accusations of questionable third‑party partnerships (e.g., monitoring/identity services, ad/analytics vendors) and integrations that conflicted with earlier privacy commitments

Move over Viscera Cleanup Detail! It's time for Trash Tidying Operation!

Too bad it doesn't have Online Co-op or Shared/Split Screen Co-op to play with friends. Hopefully will have mod support for custom maps and assets!

What a throwback!

Who remembers "Electric Man", the "Rage!" series, "Sift Heads" and the "Xiao Xiao" animations?

In a sea of AAA path-traced puddles and that are a mile wide but an inch deep, dare to be the indie PS1-style, low-poly marvel: quirky, bold and unforgettable. A big "Thank you!" to these indie video game artists, for they the future of gaming! Shine on, you crazy diamond!

I love the look of this game! Good pixel artists never fail to impress me! If you’re a fan of this art style, do check out Loco Motive too. I've started playing it recently and the animations are mighty fine!

Much appreciated! Good to know this is a known issue and I wasn't going... Mad! :grin:

> While playing the closed Beta, after the intro and before really going into the wild, it closed with an error about Anticheat. I then installed the Proton BattlEye Runtime and afterwards the Closed Beta run more or less flawlessly.

I've also played the Beta and experienced the same Anticheat error as @Stebs after the tutorial section. Installing "Proton BattlEye Runtime" from Library > Dropdown menu > Tools resolved that issue.

However, after about 30 minutes of gameplay, I encountered another problem: the game began stuttering, with a severe drop in frame rates whenever I moved the camera. Switching between Proton versions and ProtonGE wasn't of any help. I had to close the game and reopen it. This happened every single time without fail. Both frame generation and upscaling were disabled. I still have no clue on what could have been the cause. Hopefully it will be better when it releases, but won't hold my breath.

Whoa, this looks incredible! Reminds me of Killzone, Metro and Crysis. Is this the 4A Engine (or an upgraded version of it)? The only news website that quoted it was Gematsu and it is also present on the engine's Wikipedia page, but I have yet to see any source.

Cautiously optimistic for this one!

Wishlisted immediately. Thanks for sharing!

Cheers!
