It's a cracked version of the game that has been heavily compressed to reduce download size. This is why the installer will eat a lot of CPU resources during installation. While you probably won't be banned, I would generally avoid playing these games through steam as a precaution. Usually multiplayer doesn't work normally anyways.

But what does it actually infer? The article is very low on details on that.

I wonder when the employees knew. From the news it looks like the closure had been decided on the C-level.

I would not be surprised if a new studio springs into existence from this.

I know this is the FOSS community but I personally recommend inoreader. It has great usability through its keyboard shortcuts and the ability to pull the full article from the website without clutter (similar to reader add-ons).

If anyone knows a FOSS alternative with similar features, I'd like to know.

As someone that told you to try MP:H, I think your review is very fair.

My view of the game is of course colored through the lens of nostalgia but I do remember it getting quite repetitive in terms of enemy encounters. So while the variety might not be quite there, the moment to moment gameplay was still phenomenally well executed.

Don't you need to play through the campaign to unlock all the hunters for MP? Or did you use something like ActionReplay to cheat them?

Sad to see Metroid Prime: Hunters missing from the list. That is an excellent shooter for the DS.

There is always the web version that also runs on Android: https://vscode.dev/

Well, you can't get updates from other instances without it being connected to the internet and reachable. So for your usecase you do need it connected to the internet. On the LAN you will only be able to see other instances on the same LAN.

Lemmynsfw uses a custom version that that removes the blur for nsfw images but that's it I think.
