Remember Apocryph? The brutal FPS inspired by the likes of Hexen, Heretic, Painkiller and so on. Much like its inspiration, it's set in a brutal dark fantasy world, one that you're going to turn red. Well the developer has announced that they're aiming for an April 27th release!

The announcement was short and to the point, with nothing else really said. Going by our impressions from the early demo, it seems like an FPS that might be worthy of your attention. It's certainly one we're going to take a closer look at, likely a good one for a fun livestream.

It doesn't seem like it's going to be Early Access either, there's no sign of that on the current Steam page for it, so it looks like they might be pushing out the full item. 

Seeing games like this, along with Ion Maiden make their way to look is certainly making 2018 rather exciting.

Find it on Steam now and wishlist away.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleBecause someone will "correct" the numerous wrong things you said in your comment. This will be followed by someone "correcting" them, and someone "correcting" them, etc etc etc until 8 pages later nobody has anything to say about the article any more.

It's a religious war - nobody ever changes their opinion, nobody ever "wins".
This has nothing to do with opinions.
Steam serves, among other things, as a DRM for developers that publish on it.
GOG doesn't. In fact, GOG makes it a point to be DRM-free and even advertises that.

Where in this is opinion?
It's not like I said any word against or in favor of DRM measures. THAT would certainly lead to the typical holy wars. But I didn't, I was just correcting a factually wrong statement.

Quoting: LeopardI can play Skyrim , without Steam on Wine.
Quoting: LeopardSee , having all this DRM free kinda stuff automatically leads to a certain point.
Your point being?
I honestly don't know what you are trying to tell me here.

Quoting: LeopardSo , real purpose here is playing games without constant protection measures or want GOG to take care all getting DRM stuff for you for some purposes?
I don't even understand this sentence.

And yet, if I pointed out the FACT that you are able to copy and play Steam games that don't use Steam DRM without Steam, you would find some lame excuse about why I must be wrong.

Why would I?
You seem to assume an attack where there is none.

Thinking about this some more, Steam is in most cases used as a DRM, but there are whole lists of DRM-free games on Steam.
Guess I should have put a "usually" in my initial statement. As in: If you buy a game from Steam, it will usually contain Steam as a DRM measure. If you buy a game from GOG, it will never (?) contain any DRM measure.

Based onto your example:

I can play Skyrim Drm freed. By simply downloading a cracked version.

I'm asking ; is Drm free means to you freely sharing an app or just being thankful to Gog for saving your time to get rid of these Drm protections?

Because you said someone can download from Gog and upload it to net so you won't need to have an account on Gog.

That's better, but I still don't think this discussion belongs here. In most cases it falls under "off topic", which a lot of forum mods on various sites will slap users on the wrist for, with good reason.

DRM blah blah blah GoG blah blah blah Steam blah ...

Oh look! An awesome looking FPS is coming to Linux! Hooray! I too wishlisted this when I read about it here on good ol' GoL, and I'm pretty stoked to see it's coming soon!

Can we all just stop this pointless DRM bitching and be happy that a freaking cool looking FPS is heading our way?

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI vote we add a 'no more DRM "debates" in article comments' rule to the TOS so we never have to endure this tedium outside the forum again.
Seconded...

LOL, Seriously? Ok so "all" the games are DRM-Free, cause yeah you know you can download cracks... :|

:Facepalm:

But i agree this debate is endless, we need to discuss this on the forum. (This discussion and all the sarcasm reminds me of Windows users VS Linux users, think about it...)
