Quoting: scaineI seem to remember that the Mass Effect trilogy/remaster was gigantic too, before I un-installed it.

To be fair, that *is* three games. ;-)

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH comes to PC on January 23, 2025 - it's getting optimised for Steam Deck

I'm a little confused / didn't follow what was happening very well. Do I have it right that they are remastering the original Final Fantasy VII, but it's getting split into 3 parts, and this is the second of the three? Or is the remaster complete, and this is a new continuation of the original story?

I know the original VII was highly regarded as one of the best (never played much of the series except for X myself; too many games and too little time), but it seems like they are milking it quite a bit?

Not sure it's my kind of game, but I love the journey of the "nut" in their trailer.

Glad it wasn't just me... GOG must be getting hit with bots to have ramped it up so much.

Intel announced their Arc B-Series GPUs and XeSS 2, the day after CEO Pat Gelsinger retires

"Retired" is the PR spin; the board forced him out. It's also been said these are likely the last discrete GPUs, as Intel is looking to cut costs, and it will take a lot more investment for them to actually compete.

One of the better selections in recent months, in my opinion.

Quoting: PikoloGOG shows Janosik 2 with only Windows support - odd

Not that unusual; apparently GOG makes it extra difficult to support Linux on their store.

Looks like their last game was also free (and positively reviewed, although not very noticed):

Am I missing a hidden business model here? The new game looks rather polished for a hobby project...
