Quoting: Alm888

Quoting: UltraAltesBrotParadox games are DRM free, see here [External Link].

Sorry, but I see Steam [External Link], Steam [External Link] and Steam [External Link] in the link and as we all know Steam does not allow game downloads without its DRM client (and needless to say neither of the three games interests me). I have nothing against Paradox personally (even brought Tyranny on GOG, which shows, they can do DRM-free when they want to).

I'll start using Steam the first minute Valve removes its DRM-client (or makes it optional).

You got it completely wrong. Yes, you need the client to download the games, BUT after that you can play the Paradox Games and lots of other games without Steam. You can backup and copy it onto many computer as you like. NO DRM is stopping you!!!

Also no developer or publisher is forced to use the SteamDRM, so it is optional already!

Quoting: GuestI'm still going with Space Marine.

I'd be willing to buy a "separate" (GNU/Linux only entry) game rather than expect a free port of an old game that I already have.

Well, it seems to work with Wine somehow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUTkv40UAI4 [External Link] .
Not sure if I would want it, as multiplayer is dead.

If I have time then I play W40K: Eternal Crusade if I want some W40K multiplayer action :). But that is even more unlikely to be ported, as there is only a very small player base left :(. Currently not working on Wine also. Haven't tried Wine 3.0 yet. So, not the best material for an port.

Shame that there is no Steam/GOG-Bundle. So I have to wait for 50% off.

Will you be picking up a copy when it releases for Linux?

Sure. If he decides to use the Steam Beta for the Linux Build then maybe a bit earlier :)

Advance Wars was an awesome game. I hope he gets it right. Most clones failed in comparison to AW :(

Quoting: subSorry, but I don't see the point always mentioning that the absolute number of Linux Steam users "still" grows. It sounds like saying "It's not that bad".

It is that bad - the fraction of Linux users is far below 1 %.
And THAT is ALL that counts to developers (unless they are Linux fans).

Even if some dev plans on absolute numbers, it wouldn't be clever from an economical point.
as every man hour spent to improve experience for the potentially 100 times larger user base is most likely far better spent

Only with absolute numbers you get the real value of a market share.

Sure I go for the biggest one first, but if the smaller share is still big enough to get money out of it, so why shouldn't I support it? Because it's peanuts? It is still a plus. We have reached the critical mass some years ago already.

WOW! It's about time :D Shame that they do not do pre-orders- Would have bought it right away, and it is extremely rare that I pre-order a game nowadays.

Quoting: razing32Whelp. Time to finally play To the Moon and dust it off.

Seriously? You haven't played it yet?!?!?! :O

Well, I think the updates from Mojang/Microsoft are kinda lame as always. There are several Mods which adds a hell lot more "Aquatic" Content & Experience as what they have announced so far. OMG! We get a dolphin! Oceancraft for example gives me Whales, Sharks, Crabs, and lot more. Maybe Jens should have a look on Mods and get inspired instead of the real world.

I wonder where the Shipwrecks come from. Have never seen any Ships on the Ocean (without a Mod) or even build and used one (without a Mod). Also the Rail-/Trainsytem ist still a joke and could use some improvements. No Ships, No Aircraft’s. Vanilla Minecraft is so boring. Without Mods I wouldn't play it anymore :(

Also then I wonder if we will see the "Super Duper Graphics Pack" Upgrade on the Java-Version of the game or if it is Windows & Console only.

What about the copy protection Denuvo which seems to be still built in for the Windows version of F1 2017. Does the Linux version have Denuvo too?

Quoting: Luke_NukemThat may be the case. But I like GOG as a business and want to support them, so my $$ is going their way.

Sure, I liked and supported them as GOG has stood for "Good old Games". At this time GOG was awesome!

Nowadays it is a kind of love-hate relation ship. Linux support sucks. Many Games have no Linux Version available for several reasons. The Galaxy Client is still not available for Linux. Patches have delays. With Luck it is just ONE Day, but sometimes it takes weeks or month if they get any at all. Games with Galaxy Client dependency aren't longer DRM-Free. The Shop hasn't been adapted to the new needs with newer Games, DLC, Deluxe Editions and on on.
