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).

Quoting: SalvatosIf you mean the battle for Caed Nua, I finished the game without doing it, then started the expansions and only went back to dealing with Caed Nua missions well into the White March P. I, so you really don’t have to bother with it (unless you painted yourself into a corner with no saves prior to starting the event).

Ah, thanks! I was under the impression the battle has to be fought before progressing, but maybe I missed something, now I'm even more motivated to revisit the game. I'm sure I have a few saves from before the battle, so I should be alright. I just hope it won't be too hard to jump back in after... 6 years?! Oh dear...

I wholly enjoyed PoE up until the point where there was some massive battle and I haven't secured enough allies so I kept losing and apparently it was necessary to progress so I just dumped it. Maybe I'll revisit with this new patch.
