  "account": "In an ironic twist, a 27-year-old role-playing game (RPG) is still receiving patches to keep it running on modern systems. Planescape: Torment, one of the greatest RPGs ever made, continues to receive updates even after nearly three decades since its original release. The latest patch, a beta update, was released on September 15 and aims to align the game with the 2.7 patches that other Beamdog Enhanced Edition games already have. This update brings several improvements, including the ability to toggle Steam Cloud saves through the Steam client and GOG cloud saves, as well as a UI scaling option that adapts to modern monitors. The patch also simplifies dialog.tlk modding, making it easier for fans to create and use custom content. While there is no indication of when the patch will be released as a full release, it is likely to happen soon. The dedication of fans in maintaining and enhancing classic games is commendable, and it is a relief to see official support still being provided even this far down the line.",
