Let's gooo! :wub:

Lucky! Mine says Q2 2022 (initially said Q1, before they had to delay it over the holidays). I got mine within the first 25 min? The site was being hammered and I had to keep trying. Probably what I get for being paranoid and never saving my CC info anywhere...

Well, it's probably some time in March. I've been on vacation when the reservation started, I set the alarm but missed it, being on a noisy promenade at the time. Realised 10-15 minutes later that it was past due, I did my best to get the reservation, but had to re-do the checkout three or four times. So, paradoxically, maybe (hopefully) I was still pretty early, given that the system was clogged in the beginning. :huh:

Quoting: Liam DaweI asked about it, they mentioned they "can provide all necessary documents" if it came to it.

So, can they? And do the original creators get any cut of the sales?
Because on the steam forums they just continue to delete all posts mentioning copytighs etc.

What worries me is that they were not willing to disclose if they have the permission from the original developers and if they share the profits in any way. One thing that is pretty sure, though, is that they don't have permission(s) to sell any additional levels (like "supaplex hard", "supaplex square" etc.) as they are just packs of levels contributed by various people years ago: https://www.elmerproductions.com/sp/levels.html [External Link]

To be honest, it's probably best to just load up the Supaplex levels in Rocks'n'Diamonds.

"Seeing an Xbox Studios or PlayStation Studios logo shine brightly on a Linux box is just such a strange feeling. Thanks to Valve again, we shall soon even see that on the go or on the toilet."

Ah yes, just like in good old times. :tongue:

Quoting: pbSo what's so special about this box that it costs $60-70 more than the one with preinstalled Windows? I appreciate that they're trying, but I fail to see the point.

It comes with a copy of CrossOver Linux, valued at $59USD per year. I don't know whether it's a lifetime copy, annual, or some variant of their CrossOver One product.

Worth it? Maybe, especially if it's a lifetime copy, which generally goes for about $499.95USD.

"the first 1,000 orders get a free copy of CrossOver Linux"

The difference is that I assume Manjaro get a cut, which is probably part of the inflated pricing.

Well then it would make sense to give Manjaro the cut that would otherwise go to Microsoft for the W10 licence.
Maybe, as said above, the "normal" price is just marketing BS.

Quoting: slaapliedjeGood god! I wish I actually had time / patience / focus to play games for that long. I love the Hitman games, but still haven't spent the time to really play any but the first (and by first I mean the one that came out decades ago before they rebooted the series).

Well, those are my two most-played games on Steam, aside of Civ5. With 274h in Hitman 1 and 301h in Hitman 2, which includes replaying all the missions from Hitman 1, because they haven't figured out how to transfer the progress back then. And then they couldn't figure out how to transfer the progress from Steam's Hitman 2 to Stadia's Hitman 3... Luckily they got there finally (I hope so anyway).

Wow, these reviews. Way to mess up the launch...
I play the game on Stadia and I like it, but was waiting eagerly for the steam release to be able to transfer 575h of progress from the first two games. I guess I'll just keep waiting. :dizzy:
