A huge thanks to Adam Smith for putting together such a well-rounded collection of opinions on the subject, it was fascinating to read how other developers have responded to these changes.

Ogre, the classic game of future tank warfare, will come to PC via Steam next year in a hex/turn-based digital adaptation! We're incredibly excited and proud to be working with Steve Jackson Games.
Originally announced on Kickstarter, the project raised nearly a million dollars for its giant Designer’s Edition, and one of the stretch-goal promises was “We will do a computer game.” We are thrilled to announce that Auroch Digital will be creating this adaptation, as massive fans of the original game.
Work on the project will begin immediately, and the game should be released in late 2017.

We'll be playing Chainsaw Warrior and Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night, trying to beat the highest scores and best times, as well as hardcore runs with no weapons and other such silliness. These will be happening on Friday afternoons, 16:00 GMT / 08:00 PDT / 11.00 EDT / 17:00 CEST.
Our latest title, Last Days of Old Earth, has a Multiplayer mode which our Community Manager, Jake, will be playing at the scheduled times below;

If you would like to organise a game in advance, or you are not available at these times but would still like to play the game, drop me an email and we can look at when is best for you and us :)
Our reason for doing this is we want to open up a more collaborative and involved feedback process, so if users love our games, or have things they'd like improved, they can get involved and let us know. We will be active on the Steam forums for each game, or you can drop Jake an email with any feedback.
All 3 games are included in Steam's Summer Sale. Last Days of Old Earth has been discounted by 20%, while both Chainsaw Warrior and Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night are 50% off individually. If you're yet to pick up either CW game, both are included in the Total Darkness Edition, which is also 50% off.
So get involved! We'd love to hear from you, play games and have some fun! :)
After a truly fascinating journey, four massive content updates, and plenty of feedback from our fantastic community, we're pleased to announce that Last Days of Old Earth has exited Early Access!
Version 1.0 is available for all those that supported us through Early Access as a free update, with plenty of improvements and balance changes for veteran players.
New players are now able to join the battle underneath a dying sun with all features of the game available instantly.
This includes the core game we launched with, the Deck Builder, all the content from Stealth and Air, plus the recently added Campaign too.
If you've yet to check the game out for yourself, visit the game's page on the Steam Store now to see what you've been missing out on.
