Whew, I checked it a few days ago and it was at just 660k so I got a bit worried, but now it looks we will hit the required 1M in time, and country thresholds have already been met long ago, so it will go through. Can't wait to see what they come up with to try and get it blocked. :-/

@Lib-inst https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam [External Link] in general, if a game is dmr-free on gog, there's a good chance it's drm-free on steam as well
@Caldathras you can download the game using steamcmd: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Downloading_an_App [External Link]

Donating to a failing company is wasted money, I did it many times, for example during the pandemic, and it never worked out. It either ended in a closure or a company sale, and in both cases donators got nothing but sour taste, sometimes not even a thank you. I'm not telling anyone not to do that, just sharing my experience.

Craftlings refreshes the classic Lemmings with mini city-building

I played the demo when it was called The Settlings, wondering if they will manage to fend off copyright claims (iirc the store description explicitly mentioned The Settlers and Lemmings)... I guess we have the answer. The game was fun but it was tedious to fix bad decisions, jist like in The Settlers btw. Still I'll be sure to check it out again when it releases.

> When I can eventually convince my own son and brother to make the move to Linux, the possibilities for Linux will be real

My son was a "forced" Linux user for years, always planning/threatening to buy his own copy of Windows to spite me, until eventually he got a Windows laptop for work... He is now a sworn Linux supporter, lol.
