    ?? Why? People that already have the original can still play it. It's just being de-listed so people can't buy it anymore. (On Steam. It's still on GOG.)

    https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/the-original-system-shock-2-is-being-removed-from-sale-on-steam-later-this-week/ On Steam, the news has over 100 discussion posts and ZERO upvotes I mean... who would be happy to see that? GOG's CEO, maybe?

    I've played a little Skin Deep, too. The tutorial was pretty disorienting - like they decided the level was too long for a tutorial, so they just teleport you through most of it. It was fun after that, though. No points for going through this game non-violently.

    They used to change a lot more just like games used to change a lot more. Then, for a long time, it was mostly DirectX versions that drove gamers to a new OS. The technologies aren't advancing fast now, though, so there's not much point. (Maybe that's a big reason why Microsoft is so much...

    Steam Autumn Sale Discussion Thread

    !!! The only game that's out on my wishlist and not on sale is Black Myth Wukong. The other 24 are! Even Expedition 33 knocked 10% off the price. 3 of the 5 early access games are, too. Steam did do the notifications staggered, though, so I was only hearing about a few a day. Just 17 hours...

    There was a lot of area in the NW corner of the Elden Ring map that I could see but couldn't reach. The Volcano Manner in the NW was also CLEARLY way bigger than the few rooms I was allowed into. There are big lava lakes on the map that I can't see at all! So, I probably need to get to the...

    Yeah, and it sends up a bunch of rocks that just float up there which you can see for miles! As long as you're paying attention, you should see it. Now, what the heck is THIS little island you can barely see in this screenshot? It's just north of the Shaded Castle (the one with all the rot...

    Widows 11 disappointments: The H.265 video format that Steam likes to use still has no codec in Win11. The VLC player can play them back, but you don't get any thumbnails. I think the MS Store has something for it for a dollar, but people were saying it broke with an update last year. The...

    Nah, that's not getting greedy, that's getting profitable. They put the product out there for super low cost, lose money, get lots of customers to start paying, make the product good, lose more money while draining away customers from any competition (essentially dumping on the market) and/or...

    Steam Autumn Sale Discussion Thread

    I got Skin Deep on sale a bit ago to play as a change of pace at some point. It's pretty short, so whenever I don't feel like Elden Ring it will get queued up.

    What’s the one game you never get tired of playing, and why does it keep pulling you back in?

    Lots of games could fit here, but I don't replay games all that much. There are always new games showing up that will be fun PLUS they are a new experience. Yeah, I would really enjoy playing through at least half of the games in my library all over again. Witcher 3 was my favorite RPG of all...

    You would think they would want it out there and ready as the wave of holdouts updates to Win 11. The Firewall thing was nasty! I tracked down in Event Viewer that the system was trying to start it and getting a 'bad parameter' error. There isn't a lot of help on that. There's one guy saying...

    I checked properties on My Computer in File Explorer and it just sat there. Eventually, Windows killed it. Event Viewer has: The program SystemSettings.exe version 10.0.26100.4652 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. I updated as soon as the install finished but just got a...
