Untold Universe, A Space Sandbox MMO Now On Kickstarter
6 Sep 2014 at 7:52 am UTC

Quoting: zimplex1I personally get turned off by this being a MMO. I usually like to play these types of games either alone or with a group of friends (otherwise you sometimes get griefers).
Me too! I wonder how they gonna handle that problem.

Quoting: zimplex1So unless they change their focus from MMO to single/multiplayer I can't say I'm too interested in this.
Then you might give StarMade http://star-made.org/ [External Link] a try. It has single-/multiplayer including dedicated servers already :)

Quest for Infamy, A Point & Click Adventure Released For Linux
11 Jul 2014 at 9:54 pm UTC

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: FrasierCraneIn the Humble Store it says that it's only available for Windows.
Not for me:
Where did you find that widget? I was looking the site up and down, but didn't see it. xD

I love the games of this company but this release chaos is a shame.

At their shop they don't tell you the system requirements, or if the linux version and steam key is include. In the Humble Store we have only a Steam Key and a DRM-Free Windowsversion. In the Humble Widget - which is different to the Store - we have a DRM-Free version for Linux & Windows, but no word about a Steam Key. On Desura there was only a Windows version available in the beginning. After a while they added the Linux version.

Thanks again for the Widget, but after wasting a lot of time to figure out where I can get an DRM-Free version for Linux plus a Steam Key I gave up and added the game to my $5 Sale List.

Project Cars New Trailer & A Poll On Platforms
2 Apr 2014 at 8:47 am UTC

Quoting: minjI was going to vote but Ghostery blocked it for me. I'll pass if they can't make a proper poll
Where is the problem to deactivate it for one use only (arrow with a 1)? It is just a cookie from Polldaddy.

Wasteland 1 The Original Classic Survival RPG Heading To Desura, DRM Free Fans Go Wild
6 Mar 2014 at 6:19 pm UTC

Quoting: ShmerlI'm not sure that it's always the case. Somehow Steam managed to poison Loom for example, that it's not playable in ScummVM. At least that's what I've heard (I'm not using Steam so I can't verify that).
Well, Steam has re-released the CD-Version from 1992 of Loom including voices, which is kinda messed up, and not the original DOS-Version from 1990.

More about it: http://steamreview.org/external/loom/ [External Link]

I recommend the Amiga-Version of Loom anyway. IMHO the best :)

Wasteland 1 The Original Classic Survival RPG Heading To Desura, DRM Free Fans Go Wild
6 Mar 2014 at 4:44 pm UTC

Quoting: GNU_DawnThe linux version on steam is already drm free. At lease I can move the files and launch the game without steam open in the background. That counts as drm free in my book.
Sure it is DRM-Free! It's not possible to put the Steam-Stuff into an old DOS-Game :D. The "linux version" is the DOS-Game bundled with the native Linux DOSBox binaries. Which doesn't count as linux version in my book :D
