    Nah, Origin isn't going anywhere. Their premium subscription still exists there and the DRM for their titles on Steam is Origin, requiring the client to be installed.

    MS Flight Simulator 2020

    Wish I could get it working, may have an issue w/ my Insider build or something preventing it. Getting a 'toon soon' without editing region, and when I do edit it I get a syntax error related to a path on the C drive no matter what drive I install it too. Oh well, will tinker more later.

    Factorio

    This does neither of those things but is my favorite mod. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/MagmaMcFry/Factorissimo2 Lets you build factories that have input/outputs externally with a relatively small footprint, then you go inside and build them out.

    MS Flight Simulator 2020

    These guys go into performance a bit, I expect there will be a lot more analysis to help people not on top of the line hardware enjoy it. https://www.game-debate.com/news/29392/microsoft-flight-simulator-pc-performance-report-graphics-card-benchmarks

    Factorio

    Really depends. Factorio is now a complete game, Satisfactory is still under active development and is fairly open ended. Factorio is a bit more complex and better replayability (IMO) as the maps are generated and there are some scenarios Satisfactory maps are hand crafted, but it comes...

    Not sure, IMDB only has him credited on the movie in the Thanks section. Maybe some uncredited art/producer work?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    That's the console + a game, so $540 would be much more likely, with a $59.99 game. Could even see it being some $99.99 version of Halo, and a $500 console. Either way, $599 wouldn't be a surprise. Who knows, the One X is $499 and the last Taco Bell promotion included that, 6 months of...

    Marvel's Avengers

    I'm enjoying it, but it's crashed a couple times on me in not great spots. After the frustrating Spider-Man news I was going to pass on it at least at launch, but will probably pick it up now.

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    I mean, you can tell if the ship you're rolling up on is a bunch of experienced pirates... I don't play it much (I spend the whole time scanning the horizon for masts and pissing myself when PVP is imminent) but the time I have with friends it's been really fun. From fishing for a bit (as it...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Yeah, it's a bit bigger of an issue than 'to use our store, you have to agree to the terms'. It's closer to the Internet Explorer antitrust suit from the late 90s.

    Google followed suit, removed them. Litigation filed against them by Epic also. https://www.xda-developers.com/fortnite-circumvents-google-play-fees-direct-payment-option/?utm_content=bufferd15b7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

    Nah, Microsoft's gaming business isn't anchored to their hardware releases anymore, it's just the latest round of hardware to access the ecosystem.

    Most won't know him I'm guessing, but SilentSentry also apparently agreed to something with Twitch also. His RP is what got me into watching Twitch in general, lol.

    Iron Harvest

    Finally a game similar to Company of Heroes, and we've been enjoying it. My lone concern is some of the progression in game feels rushed, you go from infantry right into mechs and this feels intentional to foster quicker games for a competitive esports-style audience. Hoping we can find a...
