Can you clarify what you mean, please?

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/baldurs-gate/modders-finally-got-a-high-quality-third-person-camera-working-in-baldurs-gate-3-for-all-you-dragon-age-sickos/ Modder Relysia has created an over-the-shoulder third-person camera in Baldur's Gate 3, uploading it to Nexus Mods last week. "The Nexus...

BG3 offers a native Steam Deck build. But that's Larian, a big company that could invest resources in releasing an officially supported Steam Deck version. https://www.polygon.com/baldurs-gate-3-native-steam-deck-build/ The Enhanced Editions of BG I&II etc do not have native Steam Deck...

A new interview with CDPR about The Witcher 4 by PCGames.de: PC Games: Can we already say in which year The Witcher 4 will take place? Sebastian Kalemba: Not yet. Let's just say a few years later. PC Games: And how much of a part will Geralt be in the game? Sebastian Kalemba: We can't reveal...

Sounds good, actually. I'd recommend looking at old posts here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/66523/goblins-as-a-playable-race/p1 I've also found a D&D discussion about playable goblins (not for 2E or 3E but still)...

Another game that I purchased in the Steam sale was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Now I finished it after 44 hours, so it's another (relatively) short game. I've never been a fan of Indiana Jones. Not that I disliked it or anything, I just completely missed the old movies, so the...

In a bittersweet moment, I finally unlocked the 100th Veterancy PVP rank. It's been a long road until this point, but now the feeling is one of accomplishment, relief, and calm joy. Eventually, I've created my most powerful PVP build, and I'm not jesting here. I felt every new build over the...

Well, probably there is something positive there, considering companies like Double Fine are not closed off. But harming the lives of 3200 people is very, very bad. It's always bad to lose a job, but to lose a job when thousands of people lose it as well, and the industry is relatively small...

A sad day for ESO. Half of the team is gone due to XBOX's exec desicion. Lots of long-time members of the team have been laid off. It seems the game's future is uncertain at this point. https://kotaku.com/elder-scrolls-online-team-seemingly-halved-xbox-layoffs-2000712920

Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox plans to eliminate 3,200 jobs, or around 20% of its staff over the next year, as part of a massive reorganization to spur growth in the struggling gaming division. Xbox will also divest four of its video-game development studios and is beginning the process to part ways...

Sorry to hear about Fajer. Sounds like a typical hardcore run-ender, though. I would have been bummed. Those Colossal Ancients and Uber Tristram sound and look scary. It's neat there are things to do still in the game even after finishing it.

I can agree with the general sentiment around Early Access games (e.g., this is one of the reasons I haven't bought Solasta II), but I have a note to add about Olden Era. It released on 30 Apr, 2026, which was 2 months ago, so today is definitely not "many months after". Before that, they had...

Btw, the myriad of AI slop games was already visible during the last Steam Next Fest. It made discovery and browsing difficult for many users (as there is no "AI/noAI" filter/tag on Steam), so something like this is definitely happening. As for the AI harm, I referred to what is happening at...

To coincide with what we've been discussing in the Industry News thread about small indie studios being beacons of creativity, I've recently finished 2 games, Slay the Princess (Black Tabby Games) and Ghost of a Tale (SeithCG), and can't praise them enough. I wrapped up Slay the Princess after...

That is such a good and well-thought-out post, @JustKneller. I agree with almost everything you say there. Hades is such a brilliant videogame, and Supergiant is a well-run studio. They are among the companies I value and follow. Other such companies are Remedy, CDPR, Larian, and Owlcat. More...
