"We have a ton of fans who are Double Fine fans first, and then, of course, we have the key franchises, making sure that people who love Minecraft, Call of Duty, or Fortnite have a place to come together and create positive interactions. It’s a real business imperative as well as a creative imperative, because we see the most success when those communities are thriving, and that’s increasingly true in gaming, and I think this is true across all media.”

Such comical, valid, corporate world salad.

TF2 Classic (2010 era TF2) will have an official release soon.

I have a copy of Black Mesa, but have yet to play it. I will probably get the Blue Shift remake (do they have an Opposing Force remake?) and do back to back run closer to NYE.

I agree that it has a bit more personal feel and I like that it’s a different perspective on the events of HL, relatively original for the late 90s/early 2000s.

I really enjoy Blue Shift and Opposing Force, I thought the epilogue feel of those two expansions contributed to the overall Half-Life experience.

Every 2-3 years I do a back to back replay of HL/OF/BS.

HL2 + Expansion replays tend to be more like once in 4-5 years.

Apologies, I misunderstood your comment. :)

Yes, I largely agree, although I generally can’t stand motion blur at all.

What’s wrong with not being able to turn off motion blur being a deal-breaker?

The reviews for this game seem to be mostly positive (albeit it does seem like a short game). Surprised they have a mere 200 CCUs considering that DoubleFine is relatively well known.

Was going to try this on the weekend.

Too bad the demo is so bare bones.

I’ve been meaning to try this out.
Thanks for the reminder!

That’s not fully true, a decent amount of Steam games have zero DRM. It’s not as convenient as the GOG installers, but you can make an archive of the installed game and run it again without Steam.

I say this as a long time user of GOG who tries to get games from them over Steam (when possible).
