The Crew Unlimited will revive The Crew from Ubisoft with a custom server emulator
4 Sep 2025 at 5:10 am UTC

Strictly speaking, a reimplementation is emulating the original implementation, by way of reverse engineering. But I agree that "emulator" doesn't really fit the common usage.

Looking at randombundle.com, this is the 6th charity bundle for Palestine; by no means a complaint, it's just sad.

The trailer music is giving "Stranger Things" vibes.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is out now and Steam Deck Unsupported but SteamOS Compatible
29 Aug 2025 at 5:46 am UTC Likes: 1

Is this the first game listed as "SteamOS Compatible" while being "Steam Deck Unsupported"? I'm still wondering how that's going to pan out over the long term, especially for lesser known / lower profile titles.

Also: it looks like the Steam website still doesn't list SteamOS compatibility info; the Steam Deck Compatibility is still too hard to find if you don't know where to look (IMO).

eXtremeRate reveal new Steam Deck back shells with interchangeable back buttons

They could dramatically simplify by having the backplate pre-assembled (grill, thermal plate, button base), but I guess if your target audience is modding enthusiasts, it makes sense to not do that. Increases support/refund requests, though.

It seems like there is a larger story there regarding itch.io. Is it an isolated dispute, or a more prevalent problem?

GE-Proton 10-14 brings lots of fixes for Windows games on Linux / SteamOS

There is a 10-15 release that quickly followed, but the changelog is rather uninformative:

Perhaps it was just testing some github automation...

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster is the next Nightdive Studios release

One of the few original LucasArts games I never played; this one never appealed to me.

SlaveDriver Engine for the Sega Saturn classic shooter PowerSlave gets open sourced
19 Aug 2025 at 4:48 am UTC

If the DOS version used the Build engine, and the Nightdive version (probably) used their KEX engine, then there's a good chance the data files from neither of those would work with this source release. Happy to be proven wrong, though!
