Mozilla did the right thing when a similar a-hole was appointed as CEO. Either way, it's more reasonable to support a diverse group of developers, some of whom may or may not be bigoted, rather than one who is definitively a bigot.
It's not unheard of for a publishing contract to not entail any revenue for the dev. The publisher pays the dev early on and covers all costs, then reaps the rewards of their investment.
I bought Dreamfall Chapters, which is back to its historical low on Steam. I've heard good things about it, and Dustborn from the same dev looks super promising.
It's already doing well.
Exactly. The fourth cosmonaut in space was Ukrainian.
Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.
A LOT of unannounced games are leaking via EpicDB - ResetEra
A new SteamDB equivalent for Epic Games has recently launched, EpicDB; and with it comes the discovery of a lot of things the public are not meant to have seen. Search a publisher name and check their page and you'll find plenty of games / pages (albiet mostly labelled with codenames) that have...

CI Games has revealed that its upcoming Lords of the Fallen sequel is coming in 2026, and there's bad news for Steam fans on PC.

This kind of thinking is the reason we even have to think about moving to Mars as opposed to improving the life on this planet. People seeing themselves as gods and enslaving every creature and thing in sight, resulting in catastrophes like global warming and extinctions.
The corporate overlords are inherently right-wing, which is why they fund, build, and embrace those platforms. There's no revolt in joining them.

Why would he be dead? As with the Prigozhin mutiny, he'll just fly somewhere away from Moscow and hide in a bunker, which could be in central Russia or near China.

Yeah, the previous Sony games on PC can be bought anywhere in the world but in Russia, yet the latest cannot be purchased in 170 countries, including some EU members like Estonia and Lithuania.
That's what they say, but I'd expect it to be producing some results even in the event of Bing being down if that were the case.
It didn't return any search results during the Bing outage, as experienced by me personally and reported by others. At least one blog post claims it relies on Bing.
As far as I know, Startpage uses Bing, not Google now. The same is true for Ecosia.

At least Gibson also posts on Mastodon from time to time, which can't be said about most of the others. There are some working proxies like bird.makeup but the feeds aren't updated immediately. The federated Threads accounts are probably the next best.
Have you played AC Syndicate? This game is led by the same studio. Going by that game and the official videos on this one, he's not stealthy at all. He's a strong brawler, while the woman is a ninja and you'll get to choose your approach from mission to mission.
I'm a huge fan but I still buy all games at the deepest discounts. There are also free trial periods, friend pass opportunities and giveaways of the games further down the line. Sure, most people fall for the tricks and buy the games right away and even pay for some microtransactions, but they don't have to, so there's no ostracizing the poor here.

It would be insane to recommend a Pixel phone for privacy. It has the full data collection suite from Google. The only reason to recommend those phones is that there are many third-party ROMs available for them, allowing you to install Lineage or anything of the sort, free of anything Google if you like.

Dead Island 2 reaches 7M players, most of them likely from the EGS exclusivity period
As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, the game sold 1M copies in three days after its Epic and consoles release, and it was just revealed that the total number of players is 7M, less than a month after the game was released on Steam.
The SteamDB owner estimations put the number of Steam owners at 131K-209K, with 12K concurrent players at its best.
This suggests that most of the sales took place before the Steam release, but it's unclear how many of the sales were on the Epic store compared to the consoles. Either way, it's a major success for the game.

The article contains some important clarifications by Epic:
>After publication, an Epic Games representative reached out to give us a more current figure. These days, Tencent owns about 35% of Epic shares.
>Epic is an American company based in North Carolina. Tim's the controlling shareholder. There is no realistic chance of the Tik Tok scenario occurring with Epic. In the worst case scenario, Tencent would have to sell 15% to other shareholders, and business would continue on as usual.
