Quoting: LachuAnd what about Lutris and Proton?

What about them? I'm not sure what you're getting at - the article is about Diablo 4 coming to steam, which will use Proton and has been proven to work. Not sure where Lutris comes into this.

Lutris allow to install proton and use it to non-Steam games/programs.

Well, yeah. You can still do that to install Battle.net and Diablo 4 from the Blizzard store, definitely. Still an option. But as the article points out, if you've already bought it on the Blizzard store, you'll have to buy it again on Steam if you want to play with Steam friends, sadly.

Man, the Indie term is as useless as AAA these days! I still think of it as meaning "four, maybe five or less on the dev team, no publisher", or vaguely along those lines. But then you see "Indie hit" bandied about and the team is like 20+ and decade long publishing deals!

Doesn't help that having a big hit will change the landscape. I think Megacrit (Slay the Spire) only had around 4 staff when they launched StS, but their web page lists nearly 10 now, and there are media reports of the team hitting 25 staff! Obviously a huge influx of money will change the studio, but they still hang on to that "indie" tag.

Quoting: poke86Forza Horizon 5 is broken as well after yesterday's update :(

Yep, as noted in the article.

Sceptic in me notes that these are XBOX/Microsoft titles. Hmmm.

Quoting: UltraViolet

Quoting: dOwN_lOaDGood gameplay for this type of game, very good difficulty, but if you do the upgrades the wrong way, shit..
A great time pass!

You can re-roll them

True, and although I haven't played it for a few months, doesn't this one let you "banish" upgrades you don't want? It makes getting the right build much more feasible than certain other horde-survival games.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI guess if they switched it to "x.com" that would cause the apocalypse (or at least the Enemy Unknown).

They do own x.com sadly. But the core sharing mechanic still uses Twitter. I was laughing to see that Google doesn't acknowledge the name change either - they still show "trending from twitter" on their searches.

Honestly, I don't think anyone should ever actually name the service anymore. Just "this person announced on social media", and then screenshot the announcement. Job done. No having to say "this person on X (Twitter)" or decide which name to use.

Well, it did indeed update. The Godot fund is now sitting at £47881/month, with 1343 contributors. And another $10K/month from the old Patreon fund.

Incredible. Beautiful.
