Simulation games have been some of the worlds favourite ways to spend time. And [Pixel Cheat's writter Jordan is] not only talking about 'The Sims' that released in 2000 (16 years ago!), but Simulation games as a genre. Simulation games go back further than the life and career emulator crated by 'Maxis' and published by 'EA' that took PC gamers by storm.

"Today we are happy to announce that ConcernedApe has made a very generous initial donation of $125,000 and an ongoing monthly commitment to the project," MonoGame says in a statement on Twitter. "This extraordinary show of support, alongside ongoing contributions from other studios and individuals, helps ensure MonoGame continues to be the open-source C# framework that game developers of all sizes can rely on."

Stardew Valley is now available on Switch 2 as a free upgrade for existing Switch owners, with a standalone price of 14.99 dollars at launch.
Still doesn’t appear to exist at all on the UK store even when accessing directly from Switch 2.
Just bought it, in order to see whether you can upgrade in-game but nothing at all.

PlayStation Store has removed cross-buy ownership for the PS Plus Essential version of farm life sim Stardew Valley.
"However, Sony now seems to be revoking that digital ownership and reclassifying the game as subscription-only access. In other words, the license is now tied strictly to an active PS Plus membership rather than being treated as a permanent digital purchase."
So it now works exactly as it is supposed to work. All monthly games redeemed from PS Plus Essential are subscription-only access.
I've not been able to download it on my vita for over a year now, perfectly fine on my PS4 and PS5
The last simulation game I honestly fully enjoyed, was Act Raiser, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back on the SNES.
Nothing I've heard about or seen since has intrigued me as much as that one game did, in terms of simulation games; it was truly a game ahead of its time, for its type, due to the action sequences it also blended into it to mix up the gameplay, and add some excitement, between saving the land and its people through the sim elements.
If that game ever made a current-gen come-back, I'd kiss the devs that do it full on the mouth.
