And once again Kickstarter backers are left holding a withered IOU coupon.

Looking at the price hikes, buying it in 2018 and not playing till they release 1.0 might not have been a stupid idea after all. :whistle:

Quoting: TarosCan I see somehow which games are invisible to me because of that?

On steamdb.info for sure. It's not yet known how exactly it will look, but probably games will get some new key like 'de_rating' and it will be searchable.

For example here are all games that have a key "foo" with the value "bar" (yes, that's actually a thing :grin:):

Quoting: Luke_NukemWhen I visited a few factories there the major factor was support for certain applications, usually CAD and graphics.

I'm sorry, I didn't know most of the gaming in China happened at factories. ;-)
Of course specialised software support is a major pain point for Linux, but we're talking about steam survey here, at least I was. :-)

Personally I find this fascinating that China is so Windows-centric. It might be because there's no IP laws and a lot of these are pirated copies of Windows (so basically free as in beer), but still, it's an American product, I would think its use would be discouraged at the very least. I guess Red Flag Linux didn't gain as much popularity as they hoped it would. ;-)

On the other hand, Linux is an open system while Windows is fully controlled plus they might have some deal in place for backdoors and stuff, so everyone is happy (I mean the corporation and the government).

Quoting: EhvisSo basically Epic is still trying to please the publishers instead of the customers while the latter is the only potential source of income.

They've been this way from the start and it's taken them nowhere so far.

Quoting: pbI guess we'll never see Arch 3.0 now :tongue:

Hell, we never got to see v1.0 [External Link]. :P

Yes, that was a part of the joke. ;-)

BTW I hope "coming to steam" means with achievements, cloud saves and all that.

"We are departing from the traditional Season Pass model." - is that a good thing or a bad thing?
"Traditional" means that you pay for future access to fully-fledged expansions, right?
As opposed to "modern" "season passes" that include useless cosmetics, a day-one short sidequest and the future access to a disappointing extra story...
