Quoting: Ehvis

2010
Steam adds MacOS support; we also launch Steam Play to support Linux users.

Ehmmmm.....

Good catch. There was this thing/icon called SteamPlay that marked games that are playable not only on Windows... but Linux only came in 20132, and in 2015 they removed this thing/icon when they changed the Tux icon to SteamOS icon, because it all looked a bit too similar.

But to be frank, maybe there were some Linux versions of games even before the Steam client itself got ported? For example here [External Link] they write "In 2010, we announced Steam Play: a way for Steam users to access Windows, Mac and Linux versions of Steam games with a single purchase."...

Quoting: pbInteresting. My steam account turns 10 tomorrow. ;-)

I really wish I knew the login for my original account, but it has been lost to time :'(

I created the account after HB delivered Shadow Warrior exclusively as a Steam key, to my annoyance. Now I'm more annoyed if the game is *not* delivered as a steam key. How the times change...

Quoting: EhvisTo be fair, you can have all kinds of thoughts on the closing down of a studio. But Volition hasn't really produced anything noteworthy for a decade. And after SR reboot, what reason was there to keep sticking with it? At some point keeping it open becomes charity.

Hopefully they sacked the management and redirected talented staff to other companies, at least those who wanted to stay.

Quoting: subThough, he doesn't complain and sees other benefits.

Yes. It's baffling. I've worked for them for free and got one hint about a bug. I'm so happy…

Maybe it doesn't end here, maybe he'll also get a copy of the game!

> Did you enjoy Unforeseen Incidents from Backwoods Entertainment?

Meanwhile Unforeseen Incidents:
"Explore plenty of intriguing locations with challenging puzzles"
and We Stay Behind:
"Enjoy a puzzle-free experience in a beautiful, stylized 3D environment."

So what exactly does the opening question imply? :tongue:

Techland founder is one of the richest people in Poland so it's not like he had to sell. Pure greed.
