More like 99%. That would be awful.

I got the game on GOG. What's the point of taking away the download option for people who have already bought it on itch? Will they try to get rid of Steam and GOG versions for prior owners as well?

This sounds like a very good idea, but I wonder if it would be better to wait for at least a second generation of devices.

I think it was too early to stop wine-ge in February. It does not look like umu will be ready in the near future (latest release is 0.1-RC4 released in April).

Paradox are bundling four DLCs into Europa Universalis IV free for all players

Quoting: amataiThis move is not so much a gift to players than a way for Paradox to reduce development cost.

It's the famous mistake of letting the marketing people choose the specs.

Remember when digital compact cameras got worse and worse every year because the pixel density had to be increased all the time although the sensible limit for small sensors at the time had been left behind some time ago.

Two observations:
  • Windows and the “I hate that type of d-pad” type d-pad. Don't want that.
  • It looks like an Acer device. Don't want that either.

I'm in a mood for sci-fi since I woke up to the news that James Darren has died.

Why do they take any money? Shouldn't they stay true to their branding and only accept NFTs or other blockchain crumbs?

Quoting: CatKillerIt's also similar to the Blackwell games and Whispering Willows.
Indeed (although I haven't played Whispering Willows). But it does not look like them, while it closely matches the style of Darkside Detective.
