Quoting: EikeOh, you bought a notebook with an ODD this year? Regardless of ElectricPrism predictions those *are* becoming more and more scarce and harder to find. Did you bought it for gaming or office work? Was it good? Can you please tell the model?Quoting: ElectricPrism☑ Optical CD/DVD/HD/BluRay Drive on LaptopsNot true. Have it in my laptop I bought this year.
☑ Ethernet Port in many cases gone necessitating USB-C Hub
☑ Anything outside a single USB-C

This change seems to have another important consequence: the game is now available in some countries where it wasn't before. :). (Probably countries where PSN is not launched officially).
Those countries still have no access to this new multiplayer DLC, but at least the base game is now available.

So there are such plans but unfortunately we don't know the results of the survey and whats was popular there, so we don't know what they will do next...

Though I am also hoping that future DLC will finally concentrate on fleshing out and enhancing existing content and systems. The game feels overly broad right now, but quite shallow.Paradox had published a survey this year which revealed what they are discussing internally for the next few years (and asking players opinion on those plans). There was some completely new systems (like a proper trade system which I'm very interested in) but also plans to refresh and expand existing systems (I remember ideas on Christianity and laws and internal working of feudal realm).

One of a few rare Steam game news that, two days after publishing, still has exactly zero likes while having hundreds (300+) of comments. :).

Another article on topic: EA will be a very different company under private ownership [External Link]. Short version:
- A giant $20 billion debt will motivate company management to concentrate on cutting costs & less-risk-and-sure return products (so selling IP's, layoffs, live services and microtransactions). My estimation: 90% chance.
- Freedom from obligatory quarterly reports to shareholders (where they need to show more and more earnings each quarter) may allow company management to concentrate more on long-term investments and allow taking risks and longer development cycles. Maybe. If management choose to go this route. My estimation: 10% chance.
Now, formally those focuses are not mutually exclusive and can be pursed together as different mid- and long-term goals. But that will require a very good management and planing. We will see. :).
Edit: While I was writing this the link to the article was already provided. Ups, sorry. :).

Proton 10.0-2d (beta) released with a few small fixes
28 Aug 2025 at 6:48 am UTC
Do I understand it right and before this fix Proton was blocking Steam from uninstalling a Steam game? How was it possible? Or was it not Proton's but Steam's own problem and Proton now fixed it (unlikely and anyway again - how is it possible)?

Game store itch.io has "deindexed" adult content due to payment processor scrutiny

At the same time it is not good also - some of those games were in [more-or-less-]active development, and I'm unlikely to receive any updates through itch now...

what happen to the content that peope already purchased? it still can be downloaded?Yes, I can still download my games, even those that were "suspended by an itch.io administrator.". So it's not *that* bad.

Direct3D to Vulkan layer DXVK v2.7 released with performance improvements and Intel support upgrades
8 Jul 2025 at 7:23 am UTC
You need a moderately modern hardware for this (at least 10th gen or Zen 3 CPU, 3000-series NVIDIA or 6000-series AMD GPU plus motherboard of that era).

How do you enable "Resizable BAR"? How do you know if you can enable it?I don't think I ever meddle with it myself but NVIDIA's "Resizable BAR" and AMD's "SAM"(Smart Access Memory) on AMD side should be a toggle in bios. It's all a feature of the PCIe standard, so try searching somewhere inside PCI settings.

Oh, well, that's unexpected and sad. :(. I won't say that I won't buy the game or anything, but I will probably wait for a good sale instead of preordering...
