Hey everyone, We’ve got some big news to share—MetaDock is moving off Steam! 🎉 While it’s been an amazing journey on this platform, we’ve decided to take things in a new direction to better serve our community. What does this mean for you? ✅ We’re still here, bringing you the same powerful browsing and research tools you love. ✅ We will update steam for 1 year, after that we will be moving users to a non-steam installer lifetime copy. This change allows us to focus on faster updates, better support, and more flexibility for future improvements. Thank you for all your support! Stay tuned for more updates, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out. 💙 The MetaDock Team
