AT least is coop, so it stand out a bit more in a sea of online shooters.

HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December

Well, I'm not trading my 8bitdo Pro 2 for that. While I understand the frustration of not complete Linux support, it is a genuine good controller and it is my weapon of choice for anything that is not FPS games, of which the trackpad of the Steam Controller is still king.

The BenQ beCreatus GR10 USB4 Steam Deck Dock is simply great

Quoting: PyrateIt should be a crime to have the usb C cable sticking out from the side like that.
Probably because it is just a notebook dock with a glued Steam Deck stand.

The UE5 means bad performance overall and potentially lots of bugs on Linux. Too bad they chose that path. Source 2 is quite capable and could have been a much better choice, although I feel they go to the UE road because of developer familiarity with it.

Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update

I got this in my library, don't even remember when I got it nor how much it was, but it must have been one of those 90% discount purchase just to sake of it, since it is a popular game and I must have been curious what the fuss was about.

Tried to play it only once, felt it was a little on the broken side on Linux. Didn't even played it much. Not my cup of tea.

It is for games like this that there is so much indie games out there. Too many people trying to hit gold, but only a few manage to do it.

Valve makes a big improvement for Native Linux games in a Steam Beta update

I noticed a lot of older Linux native games stopped working on modern distros, both indies and Windows games ported by third parties. And not always the Linux runtime options helped. Unfortunately I had to retreat to Proton, which is not a good thing. Keep Linux native alive!!1!

Mini Royale is a battle royale with toy soldiers and fun game modes - demo available now

This looks a lot like Mean Greens, which is another toy soldier themed game.

6 years after Kickstarter, Orphan Age dev Studio Black Flag shuts without a release

I'm sorry if this sound harsh but, they get no sympathy from me. People should know that money is not infinite, so if you drag development of something for 6 years, it will end with the project being canceled.

Gaming development is not a new thing. People should know how it works by now and have realistic goals, when they start a project like this.

We are in the 2020's and the writing is on the wall: don't buy anything on pre-release, not from a big studio, nor from a bunch of new kids that don't know what they are doing. If you loose money, it is on you.

Epic Games reduce their cut for Unreal Engine games for same-day Epic Store launches

How about Epic keep the money, and use it to "disable" Unreal 5 features, like the infamous UE5 sTuTTering®?

Voidwrought looks like another great one for Hollow Knight fans

I don't know about others, but I always get uneasy about buying a game that looks to much like another that was a success. Experience from the past with those "copies" was not good.

I'm not saying this game is bad, but getting "inspired" by another game that is not even old yet, give me vibes of all those Contra or Street Fighter wannabes from the past that were a complete waste of time.
