  • And some non-GOG gems, to continue this trend:

    Elite: Dangeous - best space-sim out there, no other comes close. Also one of the few live-service games with a great community around it.

    Anno 2205 - Seem by many as the black sheep in the anno series, it’s still a great game with a fantastic future vibe.

    Craft the world ( hey, it’s also on gog ) - dwarf fortress like game

    Civilization: Beyond Earth - Firaxis’ attempt at a contemporary Alpha Centauri, based on the Civ 5 engine. Great game in itself, with some great ideas. Also gets a lot of hate for some reason.

    Planetbase ( also on gog ) - Great space-colony builder


  • 1800 did not have that nimby mechanic. Actually can’t remember if any anno game had it ( maybe 1701 ). 1800 also did away with the separation between campaign and endless and just mooshed them together in what was one of the very few downsides of the game.

    To me this one looks less like an anno and more like a contemporary Impressions city builder, but the potential is there. Fingers crossed that ubi doesn’t stuff it full of anti-features.





  • Smartphones are common targets for thieves because they contain valuable personal data and fetch high prices on second-hand markets. To protect this data, Android includes theft protection features that lock down a stolen phone. While thieves might try wiping phones they intend to sell, Android already has robust protections against unauthorized factory resets. Google announced today that these factory reset protections will become even more powerful later this year.

    Self-contradicting much?

    These justifications are pointless anyway, everybody knows that google and only google has the right to rummage through your data.

    “We will not allow you to reset the data until we can confirm that the data is yours”
