How do you feel about Doom-likes from 30 years ago?

If we're being fair, they made the one of the most impressive devices in that category currently - it's just that category doesn't really have the tech behind it to deliver what most people want as usable. I do agree though if they had marketed as a VR headset it would have been personally more interesting, but the true vision of the AVP category has yet to be fully realized by any company.

Introversion still exists and wasn't sold, they're making a somewhat similar game now - The Last Starship.

With newer versions of Steam, it's just handled automatically as long as you enable it, you can download from other players on the network. True not all games are on steam, and this probably works well for massive LAN setups, but I tried and failed to set this up, it's a bit of a pain and personally found it not worth the effort.

You've always been able to change it for built in applications (messages, mail, phone, etc.). I assume the above poster was joking? Or maybe there's some nuanced feature they added around it recently.

Let's be honest the people who would defend their ROI have lost interest in defending it to the unwilling. Star Citizen has become a cat call to all the haters whenever it's posted in general gaming (namely r/games and c/games now) communities. The only way the narrative changes is by showing not telling, and that only happens with further polishing like this article is covering, and in future release.

There is a reason they've successfully increased pledge numbers year over year, you just don't hear from people outside that community due to this stigma that's not worth bothering to explain.

You can trust the person, without trusting their technical skills, such that they haven't inadvertently installed malware on their own devices.

I think the articles title here should have been maintained. It's just better and more descriptive.

TLDR: Trojan can only be installed with an MDM setup, you should never enroll in random MDM profiles anyways. They started by using it in a TestFlight app, but Apple has since kicked them off.

I can't say I've ever played Craftopia, but after hearing about this I went to the steam page to see for myself. They have released consistent large updates in the last 6 months and even since the launch of Palworld.

Most of the reviews from people who've played it mention it's getting review bombed because of this mis-information and is actually quite good.

Seems to me if they can pull off making two games with multiple teams both which continue to have development, I say more power to them. I'm enjoying Palworld and will at some point check out Craftopia now because of it.

There's unfortunately no rule or easy way to tell other than doing your own investigation for each individual game.

Is it still a scam if everyone gets their money back?

This just feels more like incompetence rather than malice.
