If Don't Nod will not find funding (after Tencent abandoned them), they will become insolvent in January of 2027. Most likely only a shell will exist to operate previous games.
They already let people go recently which helped to get a few extra months (previously they estimated the end date as November of 2026).
Vampyr, Banishers, Jusant, Lost Records, and Aphelion failed commercially. Overall the first signs of the downfall appeared back in 2024 when they halted public trading via request to the EU financial commission.
Unlike Crytek above, DN always kept making games from small indie projects to huge worlds like Banishers. They also kept pushing industry forward with the first PBR game (Remember me) up to the unique lighting in Jusant.

EVE is moving to Python 3 in one of the biggest code migrations ever... the game used to run on a custom Python 2.7 since 2010.

Since apparently the studio behind Pioner is faking their online CCU on Steam, they also forgot to turn bots off during the server maintenance when the game was not working π

A few months ago I warned that GFA Games, the studio behind Pioner (semi-online game) is probably faking their online due do 100% persistent chart. Every peak was exactly the same for weeks in a row which is absolutely impossible.
Look at the bottom graph: organic wobbly start, botted few months β consistent line, technical issues β huge downfall, another botted line, then they stopped paying for that in September.
They seemingly stopped doing so and the game is played by like 70-250 people, the servers are often down, and such. Their demo is also down and turned into 15KB placeholder.
Don't make live-service games on an indie+ budget, kids!

Average Grid Legends multiplayer experience (thankfully, offline mode is fine). The physics in this game was never meant to be a multiplayer...

That's a Cuban Crocodile, a rare example of modern croc who lives on land and therefore gallops and hops to move around. It's probably the only spices who can be faster on land than it the water (they are still amazing swimmers and can hunt in both habitats).
They are relatively small and agile, very social and rarely aggressive towards people. And it can be a perfect reference for your games!

Breaking Benjamin concert has been interrupted... by the frontman, who said he has a new mod for Fallout 4 and haters from his competitor are drowning it. So he needs fans support to download the mod and rate it up!
The mod improves first person view and makes the game more immersive.

It's more readable and cheerful. I've noticed that the previous one had 100% saturated background and way too desaturated CatPad.
Which made it crush under compression and lose the details on a small scale. So instead I balanced it out to look good on dark and bright themes.
CatPad is fully visible now!

This is no joke: IKEA has released an official, free mod for Skyrim that adds their famous KALLAX shelf to the game.
The character is named Kallax Storageborn. He's a fully-fledged companion with enormous storage capacity. You can carry him around and summon him with a special "IKEA" shout.
In addition to him, the mod includes a separate questline and new dungeons, weapons in the form of the famous IKEA Allen wrench, a meatball helmet, and a bunch of other IKEA-themed jokes.
The shelf itself speaks with a Swedish accent. It was voiced by Matt Berry (Laszlo from "What We Do in the Shadows").
