No, we can't have nice things.

Might not be the end of the world.
Perhaps they want to have only Asmodee Digital as one studio making digital stuff for their group, so it would be reasonable to close redundant branches.
If they are firing people left and right and not continuing FFG product lines - that would paint a totally different picture and I would agree with

Gazillionaire, space-themed business sim originally released in 1994, gets re-release on Steam.



Looking at UI, it seems like some kind of new version, that they've been selling via their own website.

They're also going to release other games like Zapitalism and Profitania: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=LavaMind

PROFIT!

GTA 4 no longer available for sale on Steam. What happen?

The ghost of GFWL is still haunting... https://www.usgamer.net/articles/grand-theft-auto-4-delisted-from-steam-rockstar-responds

In a statement to USgamer, a Rockstar Games spokesperson explains that the removal stemmed from being unable to generate additional keys for Grand Theft Auto 4.

"Grand Theft Auto 4 was originally created for the Games For Windows Live platform," reads the statement. "With Microsoft no longer supporting Games For Windows Live, it is no longer possible to generate the additional keys needed to continue selling the current version of the game. We are looking at other options for distributing GTA4 for PC and will share more information as soon as we can."

I remember some years ago when GFWL support was discontinued, some developers updated their games to remove it, but many didn't care. It's crazy that Bethesda can release ten different versions of Skyrim but they won't patch GFWL out of Fallout 3.

Didn't the gog version of Fallout 3 strip that but they were too lazy to update the Steam version?

I haven't really been following its thread, but did Codex ever reach consensus on whether base or Revisited was preferred?

You are Konrad von Meinhart, the son of the Grand Duke of an imperial province. Your father has vanished under mysterious circumstances and has bequeathed to you the title and the family estate. Now the burden of power is on your shoulders.

Trumpets are solemnly playing fanfare while you are ascending the pedestal. You receive the symbols of authority and swear fealty to the Sovereign – the immortal Emperor, who’s lived for innumerable years and governs the known world.

But it’s difficult for you to search your heart. Are you happy? Proud? Or worried? There is a varied crowd of people in the hall – like a many-headed beast that you are to curb. Merchants and priests, war and feudal lords, minstrels and courtiers – there are both friends and mortal foes among them.

FEATURES

• Nonlinear story in the spirit of the old-school RPG
  Take up the path of a medieval ruler and the dangers, challenges and contradictions that come with such an occupation duty. Like a real mosaic, this ramified storyline is composed of hundreds of events and your own decisions, which makes each walkthrough unique. Not only do the conceptual nodes of the story change, but so too do the lines stretched between them.
  
• Governance of the province at all levels
  Take everything under your control: from the minute details to the global strategy of developing the domain. Distribute resources, restore the family estate, punish and pardon, establish relations with your neighbours, barbarians and the capital. The fate of the domain depends on you – will it become a major trading hub, a cultural center or a powerful military outpost?
  
• Political intrigues
  Maneuver between the interests of influential fractions: feudal nobility, the church and merchants. Eliminate conflicts, carry out reforms, lobby for beneficial solutions – you are empowered to either maintain the feudal traditions or shake up the foundations by turning the duchy into a trading republic or even a theocracy.
  
• Role-play
  Make a fresh start and determine the personality of the young Duke through your own decisions: preferences, interests and even character traits. A devout dogmatist or a science enthusiast, a warrior or a hard worker, a recluse or a lover of feasts and hunting – a flexible system of features allows you to get into character and act exactly the way you want.
  
• Elaborate fictional world
  The plot is unfolding in a universal empire that has united the whole world. Society is a bizarre fusion of Modern Era progress and ancient Roman militarism permeated with eastern spirituality. Politics is intimately connected with the dogmas of the Church of Unity: the priests claim that the Sovereign’s soul is immortal and he has been reincarnating in new bodies since the very creation of the world. You are to find out whether there is truth in the holy books or not.
