It looks like dark days ahead, but maybe, just maybe, MS will see the light like HP did with their firmware “update” to kill non-HP ink cartridges.

I still use Outlook for the archiving process of important emails, since my emergency backup machine still has Outlook, as well as my backup drives, but With most of our laptops on Linux, Thunderbird is starting to look better, especially since I learned how to successfully manage account transfer between Windows and Linux devices. I have not been able to find what settings are the issue.Īs a result I now use Thunderbird for a lot of email although I greatly prefer Outlook for its single (or multiple) *.pst file format. I suspect that this results from security patches, probably in both Office and Windows. Lately that option is often not available and the only option is to view in a browser, a solution I do not like.

You used to get the line at the top that said images were not displayed due to privacy and it had the ability to download the images. I have noticed a gradually increasing ability of MS Outlook to NOT display images and other features of HTML emails from news sources, tech sites, and companies from whom I get informational updates. I have referred a number of non-tech folks to this site and they are able understand what you and the readers are talking about. Just another positive bit of press for Valve and Steam, which is giving small developers not only the ability to survive, but exist entirely.Woody: Thanks for the guidance. They’re now working on the upcoming Subversion, the team’s “most ambitious game to date,” with renewed energy. With a year of capital now in the bank, Morris says the whole ordeal only brought the team closer together. The sale brought in around $250,000 of revenue, which was quite a lot for the slimmed down four-person team. It might not seem like selling four games for $1.25 each would be able to save a studio, but it was.

21 achievements were added, and Valve agreed to run a promotion that put four Introversion games on sale for $5 total.

Things looked grim, but an idea sparked to add achievements to Introversion’s Steam version of DEFCON to get Valve to run a promotion for the game. Morris called this point “rock bottom” as Introversion was forced to let all of its staff go, and even the studio’s four remaining key members didn’t have any desire to continue the fight. It took us about two weeks to really accept that and the awful realization that we didn’t have enough to continue with the office or the staff.” Morris reveals that sales were low: “Internally we knew within about an hour of Darwinia+‘s launch that it hadn’t done well enough.

Along with other projects the studio had in development, money was running out and the success of Darwinia+ on XBLA could either make or break Introversion. Introversion’s Mark Morris wrote on the company’s blog that Darwinia+ had unexpectedly taken three years longer to create than estimated. That was until recently when the release of Darwinia+ on XBLA didn’t sell very well and Introversion nearly shut down completely, but Steam came along to the studio’s rescue. Despite money troubles in the past, Introversion’s successes have always been able to keep it above water and moving towards future titles.

Introversion Software is a videogame studio based in the UK known for games such as Uplink and Darwinia that explore Tron-like virtual worlds and hacking. The powers of digital distribution, Steam, and achievements have saved independent developer Introversion from dissolving.
