Kind advice: never call your game Unknown unless, well... you want a double digits number in your concurrent players counter on release 😐
The majority of them, according to Steam reviews, are playing it for free as a gift for #AMD hardware purchases.
Remedy announced their first #Multiplayer game in the universe of Control:

We have yet another "Remaster" (Horizon Zero Dawn) upcoming and in many areas it somehow looks worse — hair color is now darker and more consistent with loss of artistic intent, the light no longer falls realistically around the head, etc. Just why?

Folks, we have imposters!
It's flattering, but admin will never write you from the account NAMED LIKE THIS or at all. We are talking about politics and finance only if the news is related to the game industry.
Please, report these people or make fun of them! 😅
2024 was a tough year for Don't Nod:
First, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and Jusant sold poorly despite fairly good critics and players reception. And then Don't Nod delayed Lost Records: Bloom and Rage and tried to focus more on Life is Strange: Double Exposure.
Because of that their market cap fallen drastically (losing 70% of the value over the year). Now they requested Euronext to suspend shares trading fully until further notice. What is going to be in the upcoming press release is unclear, but it sounds off.
Their current market capitalization is at 19.55M Eur., which is lower than the budget of their typical game. Since 2018 they lost 93% of value, falling from 32 Eur. per share to just 1.5 and now fully suspended.

Inkscape (vector graphics editor that I hate and love) has been updated to 1.4. Has new UI themes + some new features. The most important are dozens of filters, new grids for editors, and new text editing tools.

Imagine that AI not just makes fake Elon selling crypto, but also makes fake stores with fake items:

Google Docs now have Tabs, which are similar to Workspaces in many other systems. It gives exceptional tools to make several parts of documents to be presented separately.
For a book you can have the list of facts, names, and dates separately. For a game design document, you can store technical and narrative features, etc.
Did you know that the variety of melodies is extremely finite and there's a movement to protect it from being owned by big record labels and AI generators.
A few years ago a small team managed to create all possible melodies and instead of claiming them, they gave them to public domain:

Since I'm working on a website again (first time since 2020), here's our decade of GUTV avatars (from left 2014, to right made today).
The original one lasted from 2014 to 2018 and was too heavy with too many shades, details, and lines. Then I decided to make it simple, but also make it look like a robot face. Later it was named PadBot and served me as game prototyping dummy.
Which one is your favorite?
Also, in reality #Steam fully supports DRM free games and their installed versions can run without Steam at all (which for many developers' license agreements isn't breaking any rules).
The reason why Valve added the notification comes from new registrations and fines, not a certain change in the status of your games.
Highly recommended adorable movie for your weekend! ❤️ #Movies #3DArt
Pay attention to their color grading and use of overloaded elements to bring contrast between nature and artificial components.

I'm usually sharing free #GameTextures here, but hey, for $5 or $10 you can get over a 1000 texture sets from a solo artist Joao Paulo. They are CC0 and you get SBAR and 4K versions by paying (and can get 1K for free).

#ItTakesTwo HAS SOLD OVER 20 MILLION COPIES!
The game is exceptional: not repetitive, not too easy, the story is deep, stakes are high. So, get a friend or relative and finally play it, you lazy bastards! 😌
You only need one copy for two people!
Render96, a team specializing in preserving textures from retro video games, has unearthed the source of the stone wall texture from Super Mario 64.
The recent discovery is credited to one of the team's most notable Texture Archaeologists, Roovahlees, who found out that the stone wall texture in Super Mario 64's Jolly Roger Bay course came from a cropped section of an image on the VisualDisk – Walls CD, released in 1994 in Japan.

System Requirements and some updates from BioWare: no Denuvo on PC, but also no preloading on PC (to compensate for that).
The game can run on HDD, but SSD is highly recommended. At least 4GB VRAM (GTX 970) will be required, but for ultra settings at 4K you don't even need 4090 and can enjoy 60 FPS with 4080.
Unless you want ray tracing, then ahaha, 30 FPS 😎😌
Yes! #GameEngines are just tools and issues are very often in ones behind the wheel, not the engine itself:

GOG decided to reply to Valve, reminding that games on GOG are DRM free and can't be taken away from the user.
Before that Valve under pressure of several local regulations started to show a small warning during the purchase: they are now clearly saying that you are not buying games on Steam and will only have a digital license for it.
