We'll get Rome and Greece in the base game and then every other civ is a $20 DLC?

Quoting: kuhpunktLike with stuff like Cult of the Lamb - wouldn't "deleting" their game be pointless anyway? Like if I bought the game on say Steam already, I could still download it after January 1.
Not if they delete the depots.
Are they even allowed to do that? Like legally. Delisting is one thing.
I don't know. But technically it's possible to, at least, empty the depot or modify any of the files - even if not delete.

I dunno, I don't think I've ever seen the gamedev community as united about any topic as they are right now!

Steam goes green as Valve celebrate 20 years

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."...

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...
