Quoting: heidi.wengerIt seems without an account you can't even read messages no more in that god awful "X"

It doesn't show the replies any more, but seeing the "base" message still works for me?

Embracer Group continues cuts with Beamdog shedding 26 people

Quoting: F.UltraYeah but it will never happen, neither Nintendo nor Valve will ever sell

Seems unlikely today, but if Gabe gets hit by a truck or the Switch2 is a total flop, things could change.

I seem to recall they made breaking changes for the extensions; hopefully most of them are updated quickly.

Hopefully these devs (and others) make an effort towards native Linux versions as part of their switch to Godot.

Quoting: lejimsterLooks good. But I agree the pricing is way too steep.

At least Warner Brothers tends to have big discounts on their games eventually. I picked up MK11 fairly cheap recently.

Definitely not great for those 26 people, but is there any indication of what percentage of their headcount that is? And don't a lot of studios shed a fair number of people after finishing a project, if they don't have other immediate projects lined up?

Strangeland was the last one I played.

Quoting: Loftywhy is an analysis tool required for a game that already has HDR

Considering he is working on HDR support, I'm pretty sure it's useful for debugging purposes.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered heads to Steam from Aspyr

Quoting: PhlebiacMaybe there's still a chance they will do cross-platform in the end, like they did for Fahrenheit, Total War: Rome, and KOTOR2.
That is odd, Aspyr is a porting house... did they shift to an enhancement house?

I guess you missed the other remastered games I listed? They have been doing a little bit of everything for a while now: mobile games, publishing for third parties, remasters, maybe even still the occasional macOS port? I believe Civ6 (and DLC) was their last Linux port.
