  Ackshully, those experts are statistically far more likely to be sitting in an office chair or a gaming chair than an arm chair.

  And, hilariously, one of next week’s offerings is the fan-created resurrection of Epic’s own canceled MOBA/TPS hybrid Paragon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam dropping support for macOS Mojave and by extension 32-bit games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This article almost makes it as if they’re removing stuff from your library

  But it doesn’t remotely imply that? Here are the words/phrases it uses to describe what will happen:

  • Steam will halt support for macOS 10.13 and 10.14
  • existing Steam Client installations on those operating systems will no longer receive updates of any kind, including security updates
  • some games will effectively stop functioning on macOS
  • The Steam store will stop considering games that offer only 32-bit macOS binaries to be Mac compatible at the end of 2023.

  At no point does it say or imply that anything will be removed from your library. In fact, it explicitly says how you can ensure that those games you own will remain playable:

  In order to ensure continued operation of Steam and new 64-bit games purchased through Steam, users on these older versions should update to a more recent version of macOS.

  Why would they include that if they’re trying to tell people the games will be removed from their library?

  Stop fearmongering.

  I think there was some cross-pollination for a couple years beyond that. Sounds like they sold Humble off to be its own thing, but the Wolfire guys were still running it until 2019 (see Wikipedia quote below). Either way, they’ve got out of Humble well before they filed this suit.

  Rosen and Graham, the founders of Humble Bundle [and the CEO and COO, respectively, of Wolfire Games], announced in March 2019 that they have stepped down as CEO and COO of the company, respectively, with Alan Patmore taking over the company operations.

  Wolfire Games created the original Humble Indie Bundle, but they’ve been divested from it for a few years now. From Wikipedia:

  The Humble Bundle concept was initially run by Wolfire Games in 2010, but by its second bundle, the Humble Bundle company was spun out to manage the promotion, payments, and distribution of the bundles. In October 2017, the company was acquired by Ziff Davis through its IGN Entertainment subsidiary.

  The comment above that Humble’s the ones suing Valve here is inaccurate.

  He was mere feet away from total strangers who may or may not have been masked when he opened the door (taking the video at face value, and assuming he didn’t send the production team up there to tell the residents to mask up first). Much more dangerous than a courtoom of people with N95s on, none of whom he would need to get as close to as he did for those Deck deliveries.
