I’m guessing any skunk-centric game did poorly because not many people want to be one of the worst-smelling animals on the planet. Probably easier to just put a tuxedo cat in your game.
If it isn’t on fire yet don’t fix it, probably. I’ve heard of people still using Vista, which is certainly a choice.
Windows 10 is free
It’s not free legally in Australia, the US and I’m guessing the EU (I think Portugal is a. exception here). The rest I have no idea. The legal free upgrade from Windows 7 and 8/8.1 ended some time ago even though Microsoft will still accept those keys. That said, if you’re willing to deal with the activation watermark you don’t even need to crack Windows to make it work without a licence. 😉
Linux is a great idea for tech savvy users.
I was never able to get past the “I need a Windows partition stage” because there would always be obe game that I couldn’t play. It’s making great strides though and is one hell of a rabbit hole to jump down!
I just got a 5 figure check for two weeks of work reverse engineering proprietary protocols for a super high end centrifuge.
Geeze, scientists! How hard is it to rip apart the hardware, hook up a JTAG debugger, attach an oscilloscope to various PCB traces, capture the data (praying to Linus that it’s a switched protocol), find what might be some documentation from a sketchy Slavic website, call an ex who speaks Russian and have them translate, then reimplement the drivers in a modern operating system with modern realtime kernel modules.
Fact is, current software licensing laws needs to change. Doesn’t matter whether I own a physical copy or a digital copy, a company shouldn’t be able to decide that I can’t access the product I paid for anymore.
God I wish mtg and dnd could escape the claws of wotc and return to the hands of designers who want to make good games, not money squeezers and advertising scams and gimmicks.
Having competing platforms require games to move away from steam workshop in order to also service their customer on these other platforms might be a blessing and a curse at the same time.
I assume you mean Paradox and Cities Skylines 2 mods. I worry when their mod manager finally gets released, it will still have a fraction of the features and QOL that Steam Workshop has right now. Epic Games learned the hard way that it is extremely difficult to spin up a new product and compete with a product that has decades of maturity.
Absolutely true. There are several websites that also do mod support (for better or worse). I just think that having several options to provide mods to customers is better than having one option.
Personally I’ll always recommend Swordigo, which is also on the list. It’s old, but not only is it ad-free, free to download on Android, several hours of gameplay, but it’s also one of the best platformer that I have ever tried on any platform. Mainly because it’s perfectly balanced. No need to grind, but still difficult enough for some parts to require a little practice, without ever feeling needlessly difficult. IMO this game is what mobile gaming should have been.
My only complaint is they didn’t make a proper sequel.
