Epic Games announced today they're killing off a bunch of classic games removing them from stores and turning off their online services for retro delights like Unreal Tournament.
Too bad to see UT 1999 go. I always enjoyed playing this with friends at LAN parties. I guess as long as the server can be hosted locally or on a dedicated machine, we can play on. ๐ฎ
screw Epic, they're modern line up sucks & they're EGS is garbage compared to Steam. The Unreal Series is a classic, Unreal Tournament is an incredible game. The community will keep it alive & Epic's Fortnight obsession will do them no favors in the long run.
I used to be such a big fan of UT, disappointed they killed the UE4 version for Fornite, despite both series could have co existed. This comes in no suprise tbh and just shows what a disappointment Epic Games is, not even a good Vulkan port of their engine, or supporting open standarts to begin with.
They've gotten comfortable with the massive piles of money they're getting from fortnite and unreal licensing, so they no longer give a rat's ass about their longtime fans. Last game was Oculus exclusive Robo Recall and before that MOBA Paragon that bombed.
Wish they at least threw a bone and open sourced Unreal Engine 1 so fans can maintain the games.
@gamingonlinux: I've already had it on GOG. Best classic shooter for me. I ever made my own levels back then. UT level editor is really easy to use despite of its UI bug I had to avoid.
The trailer for 65, starring Adam Driver. "After a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet, pilot Mills (Adam Driver) quickly discovers he's actually stranded on Earth...65 million years ago." Sort of a Jurassic Park / Planet of the Apes remix? youtube.com/watch?v=bHXejJq5vrโฆ

Welcome to the new home of the Flickr Foundation! We are a new US 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to keeping the wonderful Flickr collection around for 100 years. Big goals, little steps.
One of those exceedingly rare cases where an organization that I support turns out to be better than I thought it to be, rather than the opposite. Good on Flickr. This is an amazing step toward long-term digital preservation.

"The removal of shows from HBO Max means WB Discovery is able to save money in residuals paid to cast and crews of productions, on top of the money saved by not continuing with the shows at all." variety.com/2022/tv/news/westwโฆ
Popular on Variety โThe Neversโ has been canceled halfway through its first season by HBO. The Joss Whedon-created sci-fi drama will be pulled from streaming on HBO Max, along with the recently canceled HBO series โWestworld,โ Variety has confirmed.
fuck this shit. Actually The Nevers was one pleasantly watchable series on the hbo max crap. Cancelled. Put next to Firefly I guess.
Another very good incentive to the people to actually download stuff instead of paying for it on some corporate-shark site which may pull it anytime. Stupid, stupid.
Iโm still mad they removed Amsterdam, a delightful Spanish language show set in Mexico City. And thereโs no way to watch the shows when theyโre gone.
So weird that HBO Max is removing shows (like Westworld?!) to, uh, "make room" for other things? It's a digital service โ it has infinite room? vulture.com/article/hbo-max-reโฆ
I believe they're referring less to system limitations than attention. Less choices equals less options and less attention away from show HBO will make more money on. Just thinking.
Yeah, this is more likely for accounting rather than technical reasons. These are the same guys who put a finished $90 million film in the closet for the tax writeoff.

unfortunately, as of yet, I have not been able to get the GoG version installed via Heroic to work. If you browse for alternative EXE there is an x64 and x64_dx12 folder, choosing witcher3 from the former says it's running, the program uses lots of CPU... but the game never starts. I could try using galaxy directly, but this requires a redownload :S I'll do it #ForScience and let you know what I found

@Joshix Oh, I see. But what about their own format: webp? Now this it's getting more and more popular and there is also a newer format, too: AVIF. Too much formats?
So, since I guess the CDNs weren't part of that, what unfortunately amounted to a, circle-jerk, they basically removed a feature before the world even got to use it?
I wish more "normies" knew about this and pushed against it. It would also help if chromium forks and website devs push against it. Messaging like "this doesn't work in chrome try ... browser" would really put pressure on Google.
