They still haven’t formally announced that development on KSP2 has stopped right? They didnt even announce the studio shutdown. Yet it’s still on sale on Steam…
Remember that prices in the US are before taxes (VAT) since they differ for each state and are calculated during checkout. I think I’d prefer to move -> buy than to buy -> move.
Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn’t become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.
I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don’t think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn’t like it that much.
Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980’s Battlezone. I’ve seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).
On a slightly different note, around the same time, Machines made by Acclaim got released which was an RTS where you could control any unit as an FPS. The name is quite unfortunate since Googling information about it is difficult. If you like Battlezone then then you might like this one as well.https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/6f5029be-f8ec-4694-9c8f-d7bdc0a659aa.webp
Didn’t we reach a point where EULAs are non-enforcable? Or is that just in the EU? But regardless, Valve can just ban you and good luck doing anything about it.
Steam didn’t get to where it is because of market abuse but because of providing a good service, or at least a service that was better than anything else at the time by far. Valve are reaping the rewards now, but are also still providing an arguably better service than it’s competitors. It’s a bit odd that you want to punish a company just for being successful.
Valve isn’t perfect and they’re profit driven, but they’re privately owned and the goals isn’t maximizing profit, which isn’t something you can say about most of their competitors.
Yes, the profit is excessive, but it’s because they have a good product where the competition has not really been putting in much effort and letting Valve get away with it for so long.
Valve’s goal isn’t to maximize profit because they don’t have shareholders that demand it. If they really wanted to maximize profits then there’s a whole lot more to squeeze out of Steam and the games they made. And yes I agree Valve can lower their cut and still make bucket loads of money, but I highly doubt that if they did reduce their cut it would actually lead to cheaper games except for a maybe a few. Because just like Valve, the devs and publishers are profit driven and why would they turn down a potentially bigger profit?
I guess that the devs needed to strike a balance between the old style and making sure it fits with the current style since I think you can combine tiles from all themes in a single map.
Yeah exactly. Also annoying things like “let’s change this concept that works by adding stuff that’s in fashion but doesn’t fit the game at all”. Like Battlefield 2042, the concept of Battlefield stayed relatively the same throughout years and releases and it just worked, but they just had to include heroes this time because hero shooters were popular. It doesn’t matter that it meant there were only doppelganger heroes running around instead of an actual army of soldiers.
I believe bullshit like this is exactly what made Suicide Squad such a let down.
I love Slay the Spire. It’s been a while since I played it on PC but nowadays I play it on my phone or tablet every now and then. I backed the Slay the Spire boardgame on Kickstarter that will be shipped some time soon and I can’t wait to try it out.
I think the max I got was Ascension 6, I’m not that good at deck builders I think. The Silent and Ironclad are my favourites and I play whatever fits my mood. Getting insane high block together body slam is just as much fun as getting insanely high poison stacks. I never once made it through act 4 sadly.
The music is also something I really enjoy, it fits the game so well! Sometimes I listen to it while driving or working.
I love this game so much. The video is very accurate but doesn’t mention that once you overcome the hurdles this game throws at you, you can become so damn powerful that your wand can shoot 50 nukes per second that each erase the entire world you are in which temporarily reduces your framerate to several seconds per frame.
Yet you’ll still die if you step into two pixels of the purple stuff and something shoots at you while you got turned into a flying sheep.

Remember that these were estimates from more than three years ago and before Microsoft completed its acquisition of ZeniMax in March 2021, so there’s always the chance that some of these plans have changed dramatically or been scrapped entirely.

More concerning than Bethesda’s decision to withhold early review codes from certain outlets is how heavily some sites are relying on the game to drive their business.
The only conclusion to make is that the video game industry has matured to a point where only masterpieces are released. Bad games just don’t exist anymore.
