Article:

It is unclear how EncryptHub managed to add the malicious files to the game project but one explanation could be an insider helping out. The developer of the game has not published any official statements on their game's Steam page or on social media.

I don't understand why this isn't done more often. Publishers announce games early, then have to go great lengths to keep the hype up all the time, then the announced date comes close, but game isn't anywhere near finished, so it has to be delayed, fans are disappointed, developers are stressed. Next date comes close, game still isn't finished, delay it again, fans are disappointed, developers burnt out. Next date arrives, game still isn't finished, but cannot delay again, as fans would really be disappointed now, so buggy mess of a game is released, fans still are disappointed, developers have to work hard to restore the reputation of the game and themselves by repairing the biggest issues, and fans are still disappointed as now things work this way that worked that way before. And anyway it's still not what was promised in the first place.

Instead: Work secretly until the game is in a good state. Release, get good reviews. People get exactly what they expected, as their expectations came from the finished game and not some blown-up early-development marketing visions. Fans are happy, more good reviews.

It actually was vaporware. Announced in 2012 and originally scheduled for release in 2014, it was officially cancelled in 2016, only to be re-announced in 2018, with a release probably "several years away".

SteamOS would be a particular poor choice as a desktop operating system compared to basically any other Linux distribution. It uses an immutable file system and reverts all system changes upon every update. That's nice if you don't want to fuck up your handeheld gaming device with some dumb changes, but it's generally not what you will want on a device you use for all kinds of things. Of course, with some effort you can work around this, but then, why don't use a system that doesn't just use such a paradigm in the first place and won't roll back your workaround to make it usable with the next update?

Probably like probably most people still do find out nowadays.

Well, in the world of esoteric candidates, there would be some easy ones, like Brainfuck or Shakespeare, but maybe Whitespace is enough of them in the list.

And while the USA are roughly double the area of the European Union, the whole continent of Europe is larger than the US.

And that's the idea actually. The Guide Michelin was really kind of a guide "what to do with a car" (in 1900 that was a question: now I got this modern thingie, but what can I do with it?). One possibility is to go to a restaurant, of which there are three categories (1 to 3 stars): worth a stop, worth a detour, worth a journey.

Death Stranding is basically Death Stranding mixed with something else?

Au contraire. The terms of service of the Lumberyard engine used to disallow using it in critical infrastrucure (e.g. hospitals, power plants, military facilities) unless there was a zombie apocalypse.

Das Bild ist von 2018, WM, Achtelfinale, Brasilien gegen Mexiko. Thiago Silva wurde nicht am Trikot gezogen, sondern ging im Zweikampf zu Boden und wurde danach (kurz) ärztlich behandelt. Wenn schon nur irgendein Fußballer-liegt-am-Boden-Bild, hätte man wenigstens eines von der aktuell laufenden EM nehmen können.
