OpenTTD asks people to please stop being mad at Atari for forcing the game off Steam: 'OpenTTD as a project retains its full independence,' and you can still get it for free

Transport Tycoon Deluxe is currently weighed down with a "mostly negative" user rating on Steam, and reviews helpfully suggesting, for instance, that Atari—and I quote—"can, and should, eat my entire ass." "The OpenTTD project owes a lot—indeed, it owes everything—to Transport Tycoon Deluxe and to Chris Sawyer. It also links to OpenTTD on the Transport Tycoon Deluxe Steam page. If you want to play Transport Tycoon Deluxe as it was originally envisioned in 1995, you can pick it up for a tenner from Steam or GOG. If you want the free OpenTTD, which is free, you can get it for free at openttd.org. 🖊️️🤖

"As soon as it fired up, he'd get up and go to lunch": How Age of Empires' developers tested mission difficulty

Back in 1997, when Ensemble was working on the first Age of Empires, Ian Fischer joined the team to help with QA and design scenarios. "Tony would start your scenario, [and] as soon as it fired up, he'd get up and go to lunch. "Some of the changes that you're going to make to accommodate everyone are going to be changes that are going to alter the fundamental game. You have to be careful – if you're making everybody happy, there's definitely that risk you're building a vanilla game." I'm guessing it's only after years of making games you know how large a group of players you want to aim for. 🖊️️🤖

💬 How are we enjoying Last Epoch ? (direct link), posted in ARPG's: Diablo/PoE/Last Epoch (👍7 👎0)

I recently re evaluated my choice to buy this game and I'm having a blast, I found the game far more generous than PoE 2 (though I like the poe graphics more)
