I tried it a little in the past few months, its very fun, it’s also very empty. The lack of players forced the devs to add bots to all the matches. The game no longer being free to play will just kill it.

The devs themselves have released a timeline from their point of view, on their website https://classic-offensive.net/#/timeline ; I dont know if it contains the info the guy mentioned, but its probably where most articles in the subject are getting info from

I wonder if, in the future, we’ll look back at this lame decision as one of the turning points for Valve, we’ll see how this develops and if this is just the start of a downwards trend

Spiritfarer did this to me, I was very much invested in every character (except the bird and the bull, they can fuck off)

I hate epic too but game devs do

Depends on the stress, if its just a tense situation I try to keep my eyes open, think about the events unfolding and the options available to deal with it, if there is a need to deal with the situation. If its anger related stress, I get a rush of energy and feel the need to get up and walk, this allows me to let the steam off. If it becomes too much to deal with, I tend to retreat back into myself, take as little place as possible, lie down if possible, my brain usually can’t stop thinking but doing something autonomously (doomscrolling or anything else) helps.

How fast we went from first flight to space flight, on the scale of human existence it was in the blink of an eye, but from our daily perspective, it feels like such a gigantic feat

Yeah, do it, Seth.

Same, 505 games (who handles pc porting) was still retweeting DS related posts, so I’m hoping they’ll get a deal soon

Take the total of what both of you earn, see what % each one contributes to that, and replicate this on rent

What do they hope to achieve with this?

Have you read the article ? Here’s two articles from the STJV website with their demands, translate at your convenience:

It goes further than your oversimplification ; i don’t know where you live but in France workers have rights that they fought for thanks to unions and collective actions like these, and quality of output is not the sole metric to “deserve” just pay.

All good!

Steamdb mentioned it’s not a recent ban :

Valve has created a dedicated page describing that in-game ads or ad-based revenue models are not allowed in Steam games.

This has been reported as a new policy, but this has been the case for at least 5 years as seen on the pricing page, there just wasn’t a separate page.
