In the puzzle game Flux Caves you will be pushing around blocks to play with large marbles

Quoting: MaathThis looks like fun. Though the puzzles are different, it kind of looks a bit like Portal, and a bit like The Talos Principle.
It's more like Sokoban meets the Pipes.

Linux hardware vendor Entroware has unleashed Hades, their first AMD CPU desktop

Quoting: GuestThis is exactly like mine, except it has USB Type-C where mine is a few years old and just has 2.0 and 3.0 on the top. I really like Fractal cases a lot!

If I lived where they shipped I'd be looking at these once the new Raedon VII is out and hopefully and options. As is I keep an eye on System 76 for being in the US.
Yes, Fractal Design R models are very nice cases. I myself have the old R3, it has only USB 2.0 in front :) not that I would really need any better. Next case is also gonna be Fractal.

Quoting: brokkrIf you just want the case, it's definitely a Fractal Design one. With those dimensions, I'd say probably the Fractal Define C.
Actually it looks like Fractal Define R6, check the side of the front doors, there is space to put your fingers in, Defince C does not have front doors. The front I/O also looks different. This is definitely R6.

Quoting: SolitaryYou can think what you want, but you can still buy the game... so it really doesn't.
Not sure what you mean. The whole point is that you can't buy the game, it was only left there for those who already bought it.
Hint: GOG was not the only store that sells the game. People can still buy the game.

Quoting: SolitaryThe reason might be political... to hurt GOG, but not the customers that already paid for the game.
I doubt it would hurt GOG, but it would hurt those who can't buy the game now.
Well, it "hurts" GOG because he doesnt get profits from sales. Of course it's just one game, but as I said, it's probably political. You can think what you want, but you can still buy the game... so it really doesn't.

Quoting: hummer010Why would any developer bother to promise updates, but remove the game for sale??

Game developer revokes a user's Steam key after negative review

Quoting: fabertaweYes, Valve and the valid request would come from the dev. The dev should not be able to revoke a Steam key by himself without first justifying it to Valve.
And it will take a week and therefore be useless, or it's gonna take a moment, because noone will really properly check it out and be useless as well. The request probably goes through Valve, but I doubt the have any capacity to vet everything thoroughly. Valve trusting devs and only stepping in if issue arises makes more sense on this scale actually.

Quoting: EhvisI'm not saying there shouldn't be an option to have keys revoked that were not legally paid. But the dev there's no reason for a dev to be able to do that on their own.
And who else if not dev? Valve? How would Valve be able to recognize valid request? Most likely there is very specific TOS and agreement between dev and Valve how to use this feature and Valve will only intervene if abuse happens. This mistake was fixed rather quickly, so we did not have a chance to see how would it played out.

Quoting: EhvisIt should not even be possible for a dev to revoke keys. Revoking a legally paid key is theft. There's just no other way to look at it.
It actually makes perfect sense. If someone buys keys with stolen credit cards and tries to resell them, or maybe it's just review/testing keys for limited time period. As I already mentioned, I dont think this can happen on Steam bought games. This was the case of a game activated with a key that the person got from the dev via email.
