You know who has 25,000 games in their library? The steam support team.

Not so much of a mystery, after all.

We have reached the point where losing your account on Google, Amazon, Facebook or whatever can ruin your life. Tell me how that is not worrisome.

Quoting: Termyi wonder if there really are people using their OS in esperanto :huh:

When learning a language, it might be useful to switch the OS language for a while. You already know how everything is labeled in your native tongue, it helps to gradually extend your vocabulary.

Jackbox Games goes global with Quiplash 2 InterLASHional out now, we have a few keys to give away
9 Apr 2020 at 1:26 pm UTC

Nice, the lack of localization was a major obstacle for me to try Jackbox games until now. We are making do with "You don't know Jack 4" in German (from 2003) right now -- which runs in a window with a fixed resolution of 640x480. So, I'm putting my name into the hat.

I wonder: will I still be able to fire up FTL without going through steam? Because I like doing that right now.

Insurgency: Sandstorm no longer getting Linux/Mac support or a campaign mode

I do have noticed that in many cases where a Linux version was prominently scrapped, there were at the same time lots of quality issues on Windows. Does anyone know if that is the case here as well?

Even Windows users should care if a promised Linux (or Mac) version is dropped.

Google reveal Stadia will only have 12 games available at launch, more later in the year

Quoting: Mountain ManAre they trying to fail?

Might be, kind of. Because it would be slightly inconvenient if everybody would rush to try it out, overstressing the servers and then leave with a "Stadia sucks" because all they got was a "server full" message or bad performance.
