Supraland is leaving GOG after less than a year, dev says sales were low

Quoting: Liam DaweIf anyone agrees with DRM, they're insane. That's actively being okay with your rights being diminished. Convenience is a whole different argument remember, that should be entirely separate. There's also a big difference between not caring and not actually understanding how shite some DRM really is.
If you omit the conspiracy theory and so on, then normal DRM is not dangerous and everything is fine with it.

Quoting: DisharmonicSo all UE4 games on WIndows will be Metro apps or am I misunderstanding that?
Original:

We are officially deprecating our Win32 support. It will be included in Unreal Engine 4.25 and Unreal Engine 4.26, but support for 32-bit Windows operating systems will be removed in a future release.
That sounds vague to me. They will either stop supporting 32-bit systems, or switch to UWP completely.
