Consider that, whoever did this, is more passionate about this maligned game that died in a few weeks that you are for your favourite games that you played for years.

NeverAwake FLASHBACK, the single-session expansion to Neotro's nightmarish twin-stick STG NeverAwake, has been dated for December 10 on PC, and there's a demo up atm store.steampowered.com/app/3072510/... this was originally planned as DLC but, for various reasons, was spun off into a separate game

Sektori (week 204): There it is. The final "Making Of" video. Last 4+ years of my life. Game's not "done done" yet, but nothing to show left to do really.

I've been playing corru.observer all day. An exploration game where you poke around inside an alien biocomputer and shit goes down. Really good writing and insanely cool presentation with some captivating mysteries. Also it plays straight in the browser!

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

A-cho's staff via @chibax7jp on Twitter have confirmed that the "a-cho GAME" and "a-cho battle movie" channels will stay online, with ownership being transferred to the business that operated the arcade.
It seems that there are no plans for "a-cho Staff" to be deleted either.
