I'm intentionally delay my comment as I waited for gamers reaction's on Sea of Thieves final beta which already ended on 11th Mac. And, if we look the reaction at Twitter [External Link], their response super positive and lots of hype surround this game.

Sea of Thieves is Microsoft exclusive game only (Windows 10 and XB1). If Sea of Thieves totally succeed (right now it going to that direction), MS certainly will justify for "S-Mode" and certainly promote MS Store as best and safest way for desktop computing (a.k.a wall gardening).
No need to say more what will happen next.

I was Flash gamer in my teenage years and Kongregate was one of my favourite flash game websites. I'm totally checking out Kartridge if it does supports Linux.

I'm really terrible in strategy game but Cities:Skylines is an exception. Not surprising it sold over 5M copies.

Quoting: madchaotikanD'accord.

75,000 Copies x 30€ = 2,225,000€

Ermm.. I bought it on last Steam end year sales at RM 14. Minus €30 and plus €2.91 (as on 8th Mar 2018). :S:

I'm just imagining how much the weight with that size... And without physical keypad? And $900?

Nah.. not convincing at all.

Quoting: tonRBut always do remember as Einstein (disputed) quote,
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Einstein never said that. He was a socialist, not an elitist.

Interesting that I had not heard about the quote being disputed, but you are right that people aren't sure:

That's why I wrote "(disputed)".

Quoting: EikeI once heard a quote from Lemmy from Motörhead that if all people where mixed up like this, this might end racism. (Well, being Lemmy, he said it a bit differently. ;) )

Theoretically yes. But always do remember as Einstein (disputed) quote,
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
Even do everybody mixed up, that's always shitasses thinks their superior than everybody else.

Anybody of you is Chineese?

If so, could you share some enlightenment about the latest developments on Steam regarding the huge increase of Chineese users?
I'd really appreciate some input from China, more than Western guessing...

Not Chinese (Ethnic or National). But I'm live in significant majority Malaysian Chinese [External Link] housing area. But still, 39.5% of Malaysia is on Asia continent which means we're Asian right. :D

@Eike
Again, I don't know much about China, but remember our comments about Malaysian/Asian gaming scene few months ago? The situation still unchanged except there is 5v5 version of Vainglory [External Link] which very hot stuff in my hometown.

There is no generally SE Asian-wide gaming news or generally tech news website as far as I know. Most of time, we read our own country news website (English and/or local language) but you can read on Tech in Asia [External Link] for a start.

p/s: BTW, my bloodline/ethnicity is super messy. Cannot tell exactly what the mixed is (privacy concern).

Probably, Valve's most productive department right now.

Wonder what is our Polish/Cypriot friends plans for their and our future? Raise white flag to "benefactors"?

Ahh.., Finally a game that I can release my rage on virtual two wheels after riding home from work, through traffic jams with many "lesen kopi" cagers who doesn't know how to use turn signals (or doesn't know that turn signals exists) and calling all motorcycle commuters (who doing their part easing rush hour congestion) as "rempit".

Definitely I buy it.
