This is not a free game but I think it is important to many PC gamers who mod their games via Steam (which is, I think, always free).
It’s a tale as old as time: A major update just dropped for one of your favorite games, bringing exciting new features and much-needed overhauls. But in the process, it’s busted all your beloved mods and all your saves that rely on them, forcing you and countless Steam Workshop commenters to wonder how soon mod authors will push updates of their own.
Hopefully, that’s a headache that just got a lot less splitting. Valve just launched new version control options for Steam Workshop, ideally making it much simpler for players to choose compatible mod and game versions—assuming developers and mod creators have configured the necessary options.
We’ll have to wait and see if this delivers but, if it does, it is a very welcome change. I can say I have, more than once, had to deal with my game being broken because an update made some mods no longer work.
And make no mistake, if you can you should be modding your games. So much there to be had which can improve your gaming experience (I generally play at least one time through with no mods and then add mods for future playthroughs although if I were new to a game like Skyrim today I might mod it for a first playthough…YMMV.)
Smart Factory Tycoon isn’t about an intelligent factory tycoon, it’s about a tycoon of a smart factory, i.e. one filled with robots. Whether or not that’s intelligent depends on you. Also, it’s free until the 20th which is always the smart choice.
Assuming there was actually a reason to believe that would be the game they’d be getting, then it makes sense to me. The bigger the game they thought they were getting, the bigger the disappointment.
