Virtually all of Steams growth in the last year or so has been from China. Even though it's not got a license to operate there. So if/when their government stop turning a blind eye to it they will suffer a massive drop in users.

This always happens. The first pre-release screenshots are the ones with the most views so tend to appear at the top of Google searches. Guaranteeing them to be used in most news stories for years to come. Which gives them more views. Which gives them a higher Google rank. Etc...

I think the way tags work is that steam shows the most commonly used tags. But you can still add your own. If enough people add a dwarf tag then eventually it'll start appearing as an option for other people.

If you want impressive fantasy adventures then it doesn't get much more epic than "God Of War" which came out last year on pc.

I had all my best ideas stareing out of the window on long train or bus journeys. These days I'm constantly "entertained" by my phone so it's much harder to get into the same state of mind.

Or alternatively Godot. IMHO it's a lot simpler to get basic stuff working. The editor can run on a much lower spec machine than unreal and GDscript is good stepping stone between scratch and languages like c#.

Most of the successful games moved to Mobile. In particular Miniclip is almost exclusively a mobile games company now and still makes games like 8 ball pool

I would add that if you're using Windows then you don't need a 3rd party anti virus as long as you keep Windows up to date. Many commercial anti virus programs behave more like malware than the things they're meant to protect you from

JJ had very little to do with Lost after the first half season. He just helped set up some of the initial mysteries and left it to Lindelof to try and sort out the resolution. Lindelof went on to do some amazing series... the Leftovers and Mrs Davis both have good (although somewhat ambiguous) endings
