The OpenTTD team issued a cautionary note about changes to their open-source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe due to the revival of the original game by Atari as a commercial offering. As a result, OpenTTD was removed from Steam and GOG, leading to dissatisfaction within the gaming community. The new Transport Tycoon Deluxe currently has a "mostly negative" rating on Steam. A compromise was reached allowing OpenTTD to remain free on its official website while limiting its availability on storefronts to those who purchase the new game. Atari has agreed to contribute to the maintenance of OpenTTD’s server infrastructure. Community reactions are mixed, with some players expressing gratitude for the update and others criticizing the move as greedy. The original Transport Tycoon Deluxe is available for purchase on Steam or GOG, while OpenTTD can still be accessed for free at openttd.org.

Google announced changes to the sideloading process for Android users, allowing "experienced" users to sideload applications through an opt-in system starting in November 2025. The new system includes an "advanced flow" that protects users from coercion and emphasizes individual choice. Users can sideload verified applications, those from developers with limited distribution, or from unverified sources, which requires a multi-step process including enabling developer mode, confirming the decision, restarting the device, and observing a 24-hour waiting period before enabling sideloading settings. A report indicated that less than 20% of Android users engaged in sideloading, suggesting most will continue using the Play Store. The changes are not expected to take effect until 2027, raising concerns about potential increased control over application distribution by Google.

Google has launched an upgraded version of Stitch, a tool from Google Labs aimed at improving user interface (UI) design through a concept called “vibe design,” which allows users to create designs using simple text prompts. Stitch utilizes Google’s Gemini models to interpret both text and visual inputs, enabling real-time design adjustments. It can produce editable design files and front-end code, integrating into existing engineering workflows. Currently in the experimental phase, Stitch aims to democratize design, allowing individuals without extensive expertise to contribute to UI development. Concerns have been raised about the potential for uniformity in design due to its streamlined approach.

Death Stranding 2 is available for preload on Steam, but a pre-release version has leaked on piracy websites two days before its official launch. The leak originated from Steam, where unencrypted game files were mistakenly made accessible, allowing users to download the entire game, which is 113GB in size. While Steam's DRM is easier to bypass than Denuvo, the absence of Denuvo has facilitated this leak. Pirates can download and play the game, but the pre-release build lacks Russian voiceovers. Players who pirate the game will face limitations regarding online features, which are central to the gameplay. The official release is scheduled for March 19 at 7:30 am Pacific (2:30 pm GMT).
