Covic's game, described as a 'rage game,' is reportedly performing well on Steam with a normal refund rate, but his primary concern is the principle of refunding completed games. Separately, a new on-screen keyboard called MaiN_Keyboard has been developed for KDE Plasma and Wayland, utilizing kernel-level input via uinput. AI
