Spintires got a 400MB patch today.

Patch notes


They removed content and nuked save files for everyone. I believe the map can be added back in as a mod. I don't play the game so I'm not really sure what's up, but this isn't something you see every day.

Feels good to not have bought this trainwreck during the last sales.

The notes are fake. It is pretty common for your save files to get borked in EA. The map was having issues. It's just steam forums being over dramatic, as usual.

Oh, okay. You never know.

Wut. What's their reasoning for this non-sense?

It's unknown. They're not doing a very good job of communicating with their community. Add in all the developer vs publisher drama that happened a few weeks ago and who knows what the fuck is going on.

Now that is weird. Maybe that map had some technical problems and caused crashes/save file corruptions and they temporarily removed them?

It's possible. But nuking every save file of every player and resetting everyone back to zero should at least come with some sort of explanation.

Or it could be this. Although I'm not sure how common this is for EA games.

Still, Spintires isn't an Early Access game.

Oh, for some reason I thought it was. Still, an accidental break sucks, but it is no reason to be that dramatic. Dead State did it to me when they pushed a bad hotfix out, but they fixed it shortly. Looks like Spintires pushed a bad update out on the 3rd and they are playing catch up.
 
Sorry to break up the meeting of the creepy dudes but Best Local MP Game of All-Time Samurai Gunn is receiving a content update and Mac port Jan 29.

Please be excited.

I'd be excited, if the game wasn't a broken mess...

And where are you seeing this news? I can't find anything through official SG outlets. What's this update gonna have? Hopefully a buttload of bug fixes.

A certain awesome gaffer with an excited duck avatar didn't want to be thanked for their KAMUI giveaway, so I'm not going to do that, but here's a giveaway to express my joy:

so what is that Nekopara?

I remember I played some cat or dog VN some years ago, but forgot the name. Is that similar? Not sure if I want to spend money on that though.

Okay this is different then. Far be it from me to defend Steam forum madness, but if they did remove a map and nuke saves and say nothing about what they're doing, I'd hardly point fingers at upset customers.

On a more general note, I don't understand why Valve doesn't force developers to upload patch notes whenever they actually patch a game. I still don't know if the Steam version of Far Cry 4 got the 1.6 hotfix that uplay customers got a couple of weeks ago. Considering it fixed a game breaking bug, it's kind of important information.

If it's what I'm thinking you played Wanko to Kurasou? Nekopara seems like cute fluff of running a pastry shop with your pet catgirls and raising them for the censored version.

Yeah. It was that.

So this Nekopara has how many "episodes"? I mean it shows something like it would be the first episode or sth. like that.
 
I started playing the first KF recently and I'm having fun with it. Gunplay feels so good. Though I probably started enjoying the game more when I decided to install this mod.

Oh man, I haven't had internet for a few hours so I missed whatever crazy shit I'm reading about a few pages back. You guys were watching a porno together or something?
