Games on the backburner to be returned to later:

• Avorion 2.0 - probably the single most stable "space empire sim" out there right now.
• Company Heroes 3 - release date TBA
• Divinity 2 - best D&D coop experience on PC?
• Elite Dangerous - current best space combat sim?
• Foxhole - isometric battlefield simulator
• Space Engineers - huge updates to economy and combat. also, water biomes and NPC encounters confirmed!
• Star Citizen - the 800 gorilla; waiting for a "finished game" is unrealistic. the server meshing update might be a game changer; TBD.
• Valheim - our best and most popular "viking sim" game; recommend waiting for Mistlands update (or later)

 

just some things that came to mind we should probably mention:

• decision on existing/future donations? official paypal account?
• update role subscriptions
• update bot video channel sources on Discord - suggest removing some, adding others (move to official videos mostly?)
• status on forums - keep, but is it worth it to migrate to a new host?
