For games and other media that gets “released”. Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn’t come out. A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn’t get said it was cancelled for example. For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I’ve never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.

Shut down is the correct term. A cancelled game is a game that never released. No need to muddy that definition.

Yeah it was out for a year or two and went free to play for another before being shut down

Star wars 1313 was THE game I was waiting for. Got very sad when it got cancelled.
Also all is the in-progress and for some completed content that just got shelved for Disney infinity because the new management at Disney forgot why games mattered. (Same time when they absolutely gutted lucasarts). Just for them to start from scratch again a few years later when they realised they still need a videogame presence. Which makes the losses of what could have been hurt more.

That game came out. I still miss it though, but it isn’t a cancelled game.
Still keep going for a private server. That game ruined other mmos for me.

I thought that game came out?

That’s not cancelled, that’s just a game that was taken down.
There’s a bunch of private servers for it too. My first experience is the game was through one of them and it was pretty great.

My gaming pc has just switched over to bazzite (as I use it like a console/htpc). Been wanting to do it for ages but needed to get an amd card beforehand for the best experience. Windows really started to grind my gears in the last few months too.

This is a very common dialect thing. Like in the UK, especially the North east “you alright?” Or just “alright?” is just a simple greeting that is often also just repeated in response.

Not a fan of the water, the new visuals somehow make the texture look even more obviously tiled

If you wash things that have been tested to be hydrophobic, eventually it’ll wear off so you have to reproof it. If you ever wonder why an old waterproof jacket is starting to let water in, it’ll be because you’ve washed it

Bit of a sidenote.
Are the English numbers 11-20 influencer by the base 20 system of french back when we had French speaking royalty? And for some reason they’re the only unique “digits” for lack of a better term that survived because once we get to twenty it’s a pure base 10 system with a consistent pattern throughout.
I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can tell me if my thinking is correct or not.

It’s crazy to me that some countries have everyone double check they’ve paid the right amount of tax. It’s wild to me. That would be your governments job, and then they either tell you you owe them money or they give you a rebate. That’s how it should work everywhere.

That’s hilarious haha, that has to be the best autocorrect from my swipe typing I’ve seen yet. I’ll have to figure out what was meant to actually go there now (I’ll stick it in an edit at the end though cause that is too funny to remove)

Alan wake 2 had massive critical acclaim what you on about and they’re now in a financial situation to publish they’re own games because of it.
And their store definitely runs better than steam and gog. Gog is the worst hanging most of the time with it often losing its penis place when going back to the previous page, and the latter is often the same on steam. Even big picture mode struggles with the steam store some times.
