That’s literally how it works. If you run a store selling/licensing media you get to decide what’s on the shelves and what isn’t.

It is available on other, quite popular, stores. GOG and itch.io are household names in PC gaming.

I haven’t heard about the details, what’s your source on that?

As far as I recall, the developer said he didn’t know the actual reason for the ban.

Valve is pretty upfront about being a business first and foremost. Their customers are loyal because they consistently provide high value at reasonable prices, even though they are in a dominating position in the market. They’ve taken unpopular decisions in the past, but never any that seriously alienated a meaningful chunk of their customer base.

Based solely off the trailer I can see how a big American storefront would err on the side of caution here. There is very little to gain from carrying a game decidedly built with controversy in mind, but a lot to loose.

With the publicity around it and sales still possible through alternative stores maybe things will turn out alright for the developer in the end. “Banned” media is always in demand, after all.

This is the reasonable way.

Who is this even for? Do people enjoy this?

This is pretty serious, the EU might be our only hope here. I’m also following the development of Linux for phones, but that is still very much in its infancy.

All I really wanted was SQ42 back when I supported it on Kickstarter. With my 20 bucks there’s no regret, but it’s quite funny where things have gone since then.

I install the latest alpha once every year and am both amazed and disappointed.

I don’t expect SQ42 to be released before 2030 and I do expect it to be a buggy, unoptimized mess when it finally arrives.

I’ve been thoroughly entertained all those years, though.

I wouldn’t compare a Steam Deck with living accommodations, but ok.

Why would that be concerning? Let the market find the right price point.

Even in the pretty generic realm of military fps trailers, this one lacked the tiniest ambition of standing out. It almost dips into the realm of satire in it’s choice of themes and presentation which are all so obviously just lame rehashes of things we’ve all seen dozens of times before.

This looks so generic I almost fell asleep. This franchise is on its last legs.

This group is shooting for very easy targets and they celebrate like they’ve won hard battles. It’s self indulgent but ultimately unimportant, nothing of value was lost here. If they keep it up long enough and choose a target people are actually willing to fight for, things might turn out differently.

Welp, you can get the Trump phone instead. Enjoy.

They took a huge bet on consolidation and it didn’t really pay off. Now they’re writing it off.

Amen!

I get a feeling MS doesn’t want to be in the game production/publishing space anymore. They see bigger growth opportunities elsewhere. I personally believe that it’s a big mistake and the ai bubble will cost them dearly, but chasing very short term profitability has never hurt an executive.

Damn, I just bought a tablet last month. But at least I stuck to my Nokia phone so the replacement, when it becomes necessary, will fall under these rules. This ought to be quite nice, can’t wait for the reactions from the big manufacturers.

I figured it’s not quite there yet. I hope market forces will solve this eventually. If Google manages to make android bad enough, demand for an alternative should arise. I’m already running Linux on my desktop quite happily, thanks to windows 11.

Linux phones are looking more attractive every day now.

Bazzite did it for me, never looked back.

Another publicly listed entity, the path for Coffee Stain is now set. Expect extreme monetization and dwindling quality. It’s not their fault, it’s what the stock market demands. Rip Coffee Stain Studios, I’ll remember the good times fondly.

Extraordinary claims required extraordinary proof. This article contains none.

Gentleman, there is a solution here you are not seeing.

It’s a big gamble on the demand of customers. If it pays off, Nintendo will reap enormous profits. If it doesn’t, they can always walk back on it and will probably be celebrated for it. They can’t really loose here.

Needless to say, I won’t touch Nintendo products with a stick. It’s a ridiculously greedy and aggressive company.

But I neither want a “like” experience nor windows 11 – pass.

I recently got Star Trek: Resurgence during a sale and was very pleasantly surprised. It was the closest thing to a new TNG episode I’ve seen in years.

It does have issues, but I could easily overlook them for the writing and characters. I found the whole 10h extremely satisfying.

I see trash like Fortnite not being available on Linux as an absolute win.

This is fantastic! I played the multilayer mod back in the day and it was always a blast.

I finally started playing Suzerayn and it’s the perfect game for the current tumultuous times.

It’s about leading a country while managing issues like immigration, nationalism and the grip of superpowers.

I can’t stress how incredibly fitting it is right now. It’s also pretty great and very well written. You do have to love reading, though, it’s all about politics after all.

This is the correct answer.

So?

C&C Generals is included? Oh my!
