    Oh, the other interesting thing here is that the developers are listed on Steam as World’s Edge, Forgotten Empires, Tantalus Media, CaptureAge, Virtuos Games. World’s Edge is Microsoft’s subsidiary managing the Age franchise, Forgotten Empires is the main developer on all the definitive editions, with Tantalus Media supporting. Virtuos is unclear, but I wonder if they’re involved in the Xbox port.

    But the really interesting bit there is CaptureAge. They build a third-party tool for AoE2, and I think they also have something for AoE4, used for viewing replays and spectating others’ games with a UI that provides more useful data for casting or for reviewing/analysing games. If they’re working to integrate it directly into the game, that’s awesome.
