Quoting: Purple Library GuyThis is getting freaky. I expect progress to be spiky--a zig or two up, then a zag down, but overall the zigs bigger. This is crazy . . . the progress since September is about equal to our whole share at a low point a few years ago!What about +147% since last February?

Great, now that the shareholders are out of the picture, I'm sure they release a fully fledged Linux client and keep doing their thing best as they can. I just hope he has the patience and energy to see this through.

(I'm not judging, I had a pirated version, because in PL we had no access to original games until late 90s - there was no IP law until mid 1994 and only after that the shops slowly started selling original games, but even then games from abroad were not widely circulated because of the prices - Cannon Fodder at launch would cost 7% of the average monthly salary, and that's before any import costs.)
(Completely off-topic, I think that's one of the reasons for GOG popularity in Poland - lots of people always wanted to buy the original versions of the games they loved as kids but never had any means of supporting their developers - not that it's a big support to buy the game right now, but it's a kind of paying off the debt [and yes, I bought both CF and CF2 at GOG]. BTW the company who launched GOG, that is CD Projekt, was the largest shop with original games in the 90s, but they never sold Amiga games, just PC-CD games - they were not widely available from pirates because of the size - and anyway they founded the company with the money made on selling pirated software before 1994; they knew exactly what they were doing launching GOG, maybe it was a kind of redemption for them as well?)

Quoting: chickenb00Yep this was a shareware title I played many happy hours of as a wee kid in the golden 90s.By "shareware" do you mean the cover disk demo (or xmas version), or a pirated game? Because CF was never shareware.

I have 95% on Linux and 5% on SteamDeck. Notably, I also played some hours through GFN, both on PC and SD, I wonder if they filtered it out or if they are now able to tell the device behind the GFN, because I know for sure it counted as playing on Windows in the past.

Quoting: CreepioI wanted a browser that has feature parity with regular Firefox, but doesn't add a crap ton of unnecessary extras. I just want Firefox, but without the crap.it still has the tabs on top, though ;p

I turned it off as soon as it appeared, hopefully they won't try to turn it back on (or add more AI settings that are on by default) in future updates.
