I saw that there’s a community effort to save the entire archive and they were nearly done (or at least are on track to be done before the shutdown occurs). That being said, I haven’t been following this super closely so I might be getting the details wrong.
Obviously a very different kind of game but the Factorio Space Age DLC more than doubled my play time in the game and imo is one of the best DLC value-wise that I’ve ever purchased.
Alternatively, one can argue that the 30% cut has allowed Valve to develop a product which is superior to the competition and that’s why gamers often choose to buy their games there instead of other platforms. When Steam first became available, it was pretty terrible and there’s plenty of historical articles that clearly highlight that fact. Now, over the years, Valve has reinvested a share of their profits to improve the platform to a point where it is arguably the best product on the market. The 30% fee isn’t “anti competitive”, if it were, there wouldn’t be so many other options around. Punishing valve for having a superior product is just absurd.
The initial plan was for an open-world with progression tied to an actual in-game economy. Then they made most of the progression systems optional (a good thing), but now that’s gone and there’s no details on what the point of the open-world will be if there’s no profession. We also have no real indication of whether or not this open world will even actually happen.
You’re 100% correct. I always find it funny how hardcore some people are with jellyfin vs Plex. I’ll probably end up getting downvotes on this but imo Plex is way simpler to setup and keep running, and as a lifetime pass owner, I’ve very rarely felt like my experience has been deteriorated by any of the changes that the jellyfin crowd freaks out about. Plus plexamp is honestly such a great music player. I’ll happily keep running Plex for the foreseeable future.
That’s a bit disingenuous. I’m not absolving our agencies of the responsibility to work on increasing the safety of those held in detention but 17 deaths over 26 years is not equivalent to what’s happening in the US where 23 people have died in ICE detention since October 2025 (source).
