Off-topic but it would be really cool if all f2p games had the "free to play" tag automatically applied. I have a dynamic F2P category wherein I have all the games with "free to play" tag, but half of the f2p games are outside of it... Alternatively maybe Valve could add it directly to the filters...

Quoting: g000hWith any luck, a bunch of indie studios will pop up releasing games built with passion and good game mechanics.

Ant then they will be gobbled up by one of the conglomerates.

I wonder what's keeping Valve from just officially releasing SteamOS for general use.

Quoting: LoudTechieWell, yes. That is what the third software freedom is about.

It's what the whole human civilization is about. Improvement by iteration.
Greed manifested as patents and copyright set us back decades.

Quoting: sardineIt took some digging to find it again but if anybody is interested the designers themselves assembled a sort of design log [External Link] of the original app version.

Ok, I actually know 2048, and I knew it was based on 1024 but I've never heard of Threes. I guess it's a bit similar to how nobody knows Infiniminer but someone took the original idea, made it better* and stole the limelight.

(*) while I haven't played Threes and I found 2048 pretty boring, it's a no-brainer that powers of two are much better than sums of three :tongue:

TFW a 2014 game you never heard about is "classic". :whistle:

I tried snap once, because a demo of a game I was interested in came as a snap package.
It crashed and rebooted my whole system.

Quoting: Guestscheme that heavily relies on DRM

Quoting: eridanired123If that's what they want, I can start pirating…

It might be the exact contrary to what you said. If the games are only available via streaming, they don't need any DRM and they can't be pirated. So yes, that might be exactly what they want.

"you don't lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there"

Sure, assuming the service is still there or the game's developers have a basic knowledge about data sync (bye bye my Hitman 3 progress on Stadia).
