Just some random bits of news that didn't seem worthy of an individual
post but I thought were interesting anyway



- Apparently Epic isn't doing a Holiday give-away this year. At least
not one that matches earlier years, where they gave away a game a day
throughout December. Right now, the Epic Game Store shows the next
free game coming out on Thursday (as usual) and that being it for the
week. There's been no rustlings about there being more free games
coming either. Is the Fortnite fun running low?

Well, maybe they're just playing this one close to the vest and will
surprise us with a bounty later on.

- According to Steam surveys, the most used language on Steam is
English. Chinese is -unsurprisingly- second. But in third place? You
might assume Spanish or French... but no; it's Russian, by a
significant margin.

I'm sure this is simply because Russians are just such dedicated
gamers, and it has nothing to do with the fact that they're all bots
being used for gambling and crime.

- The classic Warcraft games are being delisted on GOG. If you want to
(legally) play the games in their original format --rather than the
half-assed remake released by Blizzard a few years ago-- then you've
only a few days to buy it on GOG before its gone.

- "No Man's Sky" finally worth buying according to overall review
scores. It had such a terrible launch in 2016 that the game is only
now overcoming it's (well deserved) review-bombing. Even in its much
updated state, I don't really care for the game but I'll be the first
to admit that the developers have done a lot to redeem the game, and
it definitely deserves the praise being heaped upon it now. All the
more so since all the updates have been free. And the devs are
promising more updates to come.
