Warcraft 3 owners who don't own Reforged can no longer play Warcraft 3 since the new 2.0 update.

Multiple people including myself being hit with a menu saying "This account does not have a valid Warcraft 3 Licence. Click here to purchase one" and the link takes you to the page to buy Warcraft 3 Reforged.

I have had WC 3 on my battle net account for over a decade at this point. I still have the old physical games with the cdkeys on the manual. Is this even legal?

What Old Games Hold a Special Place in Your Heart? Anyone Else Jumping Back Into Retro Games?

Recently, I’ve found myself diving back into some old favorites, and it’s been like rediscovering a piece of my gaming past. Just picked up Wartune Ultra, and the nostalgia hit hard – all those late nights, guild battles, and the grind from the original Wartune are back, but now it’s on mobile, which has been a surprisingly awesome experience.Seeing both familiar and new faces in the game’s community got me wondering – what other games did you all spend hours on back in the day? Anyone else reconnecting with their old go-tos or rediscovering retro classics? Share your memories, and if you're hopping into Wartune Ultra too, maybe we'll cross paths!

Try to survival Today - The DEMO is already on STEAM

Hi, I am a single developer of the game Try to survive Today.

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3082840/Try_to_survive_Today/

A little bit about my game:

In 2507, the planet Manoan was abandoned due to the depletion of its resources, but the legacy of these crystals lived on. Over time, scientists have mastered the process of synthesizing energy crystals on space stations, opening up new horizons for research and technology development in the country and beyond. So the settlers began a new chapter in the history of space exploration, leaving a mark on every tiny star system they explored.

During the long-forgotten and lost centuries, when people went to the far reaches of space in search of new worlds, each colony sought to increase its population. To explore minerals and the suitability of planets for exploration, geological expeditions were sent to unexplored territories - desperate researchers who were ready to risk everything for the sake of what they wanted. One day, a young girl, Zlata, who has completed an internship on Mars and won the hearts of the scientific community with her knowledge, is sent on one of these daring outings.

Such expeditions were sent on small spaceships without weapons. The team consisted of a geologist pilot and a mechanized exoskeleton.

And so, in the very heart of the abode of ancient forces, where darkness is woven from timeless years, she hears the echoes of the SOS signal coming from the planet Manoan. This signal strikes her imagination, because the planet has been abandoned and uninhabited for fifty years according to all known archives. Having decided to take an amazing step into the unknown, Zlata is faced with mysteries that can turn all her beliefs and ideas about the cosmos upside down.

GAME FEATURES:

A distinctive feature of the game is its character leveling system, which allows players to experiment with different strategies and game styles. The combat system is based on the use of various types of weapons and magic, as well as on the competent use of the character's skills and abilities.

TYPE OF GAME:

When scrolling the mouse wheel, you can switch between three different views: first-person, third-person, and top view.

This allows players to choose the most convenient angle for passing the game and viewing the game environment.

CHARACTER SELECTION:

Two modes: "MECH Warrior" and "MECH Pilot".

In the "MECH Warrior" mode, the player controls a huge and powerful robot combat mech. The mech is equipped with weapons, armor and special abilities that allow it to fight enemies and complete various tasks. The player controls the movement of the mech, its attacks and special abilities.

In the "MECh Pilot" mode, the player can use his robot as a companion that helps in battles. The robot can attack enemies, protect its pilot and help him in various tasks. The ability to play as a pilot without being inside the robot. In this case, the player becomes a full-fledged participant in the fighting on earth and can use his weapons and abilities to destroy enemies.

An incredible adventure awaits you on the planet Manoan, where every step is filled with danger and mysteries. Your first task is to turn a geological exoskeleton into a powerful combat robot suit capable of protecting you from all threats.

After studying many types of weapons, from firearms to magic, you will be able to choose the right tool for each type of enemy. Magic crystals will surround you with magic, giving you the opportunity to use unique abilities in the fight against enemies.

Every riddle, every puzzle on your way will be a test of your intelligence and resourcefulness. By solving them, you will come closer to understanding the mysteries of the planet Manoan and its amazing secrets.

Faced with a difficult choice that will affect the outcome of the entire operation, you will have to weigh your decisions and take responsibility for every step of this dangerous journey. Your courage and ability to think on the move will become your main weapons in the fight for survival and victory.

I have released a demo version of the game, and you have the opportunity to evaluate my work on the game.

Anyone else miss Fuser?

I have recently just remembered i used to have the game Fuser, until i built a new pc. I loved it, but i recently realized the game is no longer available on any major retailer. I now realize no game can scratch that awesome itch, for easy, awesome DJing and song creation. There is no way it is coming back, since the company now just makes music for Fortnight, but i can only dream.

What do you think went wrong with Spectre Divide?

As of writing this there are 323 players in game with a 707 player 24 hour peak.

I played this game a bunch in the beta and remember having high hopes for it, but the 2 player gimmick didn't feel like it had any lasting power and the devs shot themselves in the foot with egregious pricing. What were your opinions and do you think this game has a chance at bouncing back at all? Is there even any room for a new tactical FPS in this space?

Hollow Knight is one of the best games ever made

I just think this game is a masterclass. The art is stunning, the music is beautiful, the map is HUGE! the story is amazing, I love how Hollow Knight doesn't shove the story, but instead lets you put the pieces together the lore for yourself. The combat is just incredible, It's so simple yet so complex. The charms system allows you to customize your play style in so many different ways. The detail in the game is just outstanding, each place has a different color scheme, with millions of details to make each place feel different from each other. The sounds in the game are spot on, and pogo is so satisfying. The platforming in this game is also masterclass, with fun platforming challenges, and I like how the knight can do a tiny jump, or a really high jump. it has alot of versatility with the platforming, which when combined with the pogo is just amazing. The healing system is so smart, to heal you need to fill your soul tank, and you fill your soul tank by hitting other enemies, making it you have to earn your right to heal. And then in a literal level, the game costs 15 USD, with it taking around 45-60 hours to complete the main story, (which would include the true ending) And like 100 hours probs to complete Everything there is in the game. And then the sequel Silksong, doesn't yet have a release date, but is expected to be at least 2x as much content as Hollow Knight. I don't know how team cherry made such a good game.
