IW4x exists if you want to mod the original MW2 with dedicated servers, been meaning to try it for a while so can’t comment on its popularity

Cheating is definitely a problem in SF6, but it’s a lot less of a challenge dealing with it due to match duration. You generally move on to different opponents fast enough, unless of course you’re at the highest ranks.

Still agree that kernel level anti-cheat does nothing here, and I also won’t be buying it due to that reason.

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

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.
