Embracer Group continues cuts with Beamdog shedding 26 people
21 September 2023 at 4:13 am UTC

Quoting: F.UltraYeah but it will never happen, neither Nintendo nor Valve will ever sell

Seems unlikely today, but if Gabe gets hit by a truck or the Switch2 is a total flop, things could change.

I seem to recall they made breaking changes for the extensions; hopefully most of them are updated quickly.

Hopefully these devs (and others) make an effort towards native Linux versions as part of their switch to Godot.

Mortal Kombat 1 released and Steam Deck Verified

Quoting: lejimsterLooks good. But I agree the pricing is way too steep.

At least Warner Brothers tends to have big discounts on their games eventually. I picked up MK11 fairly cheap recently.

Definitely not great for those 26 people, but is there any indication of what percentage of their headcount that is? And don't a lot of studios shed a fair number of people after finishing a project, if they don't have other immediate projects lined up?

Quoting: razing32I'd love to play a point and click horror or sci-fi

Strangeland was the last one I played.

Quoting: Loftywhy is an analysis tool required for a game that already has HDR

Considering he is working on HDR support, I'm pretty sure it's useful for debugging purposes.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered heads to Steam from Aspyr

Quoting: PhlebiacMaybe there's still a chance they will do cross-platform in the end, like they did for Fahrenheit, Total War: Rome, and KOTOR2.
That is odd, Aspyr is a porting house... did they shift to an enhancement house?

I guess you missed the other remastered games I listed? They have been doing a little bit of everything for a while now: mobile games, publishing for third parties, remasters, maybe even still the occasional macOS port? I believe Civ6 (and DLC) was their last Linux port.

Quotethey won't have a Native Linux version

No macOS version listed, either. Which seems odd, given Aspyr's history. Maybe there's still a chance they will do cross-platform in the end, like they did for Fahrenheit, Total War: Rome, and KOTOR2.

Wow, she'll be raiding the social security office soon!

Humble Bundle has a big Cities: Skylines bundle

I got (one of?) the previous bundles, so have a few of the DLC already. And yet, the complete collection on Steam would still run me an additional $161.73, with the current sale going!
