I still firmly believe all Ads in all forms should be banned. They are a blight on human attention and they destroy the internet and even real life. Just imagine how pretty cities would be without all the ads!
Definately, I always remember going to Prague and a lot of the streets have these amazing wooden shutters to block the doors off. The problem was that they also made good advertising space in some areas. Not been in about 10 years so not sure how it looks now.

Although I don't think Timesquare would be the same without the neon lit adverting.

Golly gee, what possible reason could Sony have to buy a PC porting studio, I haven't the foggiest idea, no siree

It's a mystery that we will probably never figure out.
Yes, Square Enix's whole PC focus and expertise lies down in a single independent studio.
Even if they are owned by Sony, I could still see them work on ports for 3rd party studios. Say if Sony currently has nothing for them to work on. There's no reason to say no to making money " on the side".

I am a long-time-player who rarely finishes games :>
I never play games that are under 5 to 10 hours
My bread and butter are games Like.............................................................................................Aurora 4X......................................................................................., etc. I play them for decades.
So how does it feel to be King?

(This is my m.o. as well.)

Their ports were best Square Enix Pc ports. And they did ports for their all western developed games.
And Im sure they can't find another studio. Not like their last port, Avengers, was any that good.

Agree. It'd be wonderful to have an ad-free world.
But if ads were banned, marketing departments would just come up with other insidious ways to try to sell us crap we dont need. Influencers, sponsored content, product placement and stuff like that comes to mind.


And Playstation acquires PC port studio Nixxes
Hmmm ... not really a fan of independent studios getting bought up, but this will probably mean better Sony ports in the forseeable future. But it could suck for whenever Square Enix lets Eidos make Deus Ex, Thief or Tomb Raider games again (which are the only games by them that I have any interest in).

anyway, nothing for me this month, havent bought anything in the sale either... but the new DLC for Greedfall is out. Bought that, and might even play it someday!

For future reference, what's everyone's sourceport/enhancement/upgrade of choice for Return to Castle Wolfenstein? I played it some yesterday using a mod that's shown on the pcgamingwiki as something that allows fov settings and what not with little fluff, but for some reason performance wasn't great at all.

Nope, looking for a more vanilla experience, but if that's all there is that has a good renderer that will perform well I guess it will have to do... Edit: google search brings results like "only iortcw is worthwhile, and realrtcw which is based on iortcw" and stuff, iortcw is the one I tried so, I guess it too will run badly for me then...
