This is sad, but even sadder is that they cannot port Astro Bot Rescue Mission from VR1...

Yeah, I had many games on GOG, still have, and after I did full switch to linux using Proton is such great experience. I have Steam Deck too and it's just more convenient to get stuff on Steam, sadly. I've already finished Cyberpunk 2077 on Windows two years ago and I've recently wanted to play Phantom Liberty DLC. I've tried to install it through Heroic, Bottles and directly through Steam and experience to setup GOG Galaxy to maintain cloud saves and achievements is frustrating at best, but I've also noticed some lags and micro-stutters when using GOG client.

I agree that all social media are dangerous. That's exactly why I don't use any mobile app related to Meta on my phone. Even on the browser I use feature of Firefox to create container tab (I don't remember exact name of this feature) and this is the only way I run Facebook - this way Meta cannot track your cookies of your browser. I would happily cole this account but sadly all communication related for my daugher school, housing community and with some of friends is made through Messenger... I haven't use any other social media.

You are right, but you should remember that a lot of them fled the country to skip conscript. Moreover, games are made a very long time, 4-5 years minimum and it costs a lot of money. And to make independent platform you must create a lot of games because no one will buy it if you can't play at anything.

And why exactly it is prohibited to make fun of current trends?

I think that social media (in general, not only TikTok) are dangerous in few ways. TikTok is addicting and decrease your physical and mental health (https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/social-media-addiction/tiktok-addiction/), it could be a potential manipulation tool and spying tool (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64797355). Costs overshadow profits.

I will believe it when I see it. Who will be making games for them, I wonder.
