Quoting: GuestSaw this one coming. I hope Github doesn't get hate for this like they did with Youtube-dl. Github are not to blame for this, they have no choice but to comply with the awful DMCA

I wonder how this one will end.

Quoting: hardpenguin
Quoting: FaalagornI haven't tested them yet, but they are both available as Luxtorpeda packages: https://luxtorpeda-dev.github.io/packages.html [External Link]
Yup, that way I played through GTA3 on Steam just a week or two ago!

So it's 100% completable on this engine? How about VC? I've never played either, but I have them on Steam, might as well try...

Metro Exodus still due on Linux this year, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition announced
16 Feb 2021 at 12:59 pm UTC

Quoting: CyrilAnd you see not a word about GOG release... For the macOS version they mention explicitly some stores, but for Linux it's just Steam... Tell me I'm wrong... :neutral:

Reading between the lines, they are probably porting for platforms that need the Linux version for their current or upcoming cloud...

Quoting: ErzfeindWhooo! Hope this leads to a Linux port for Borderlands 3, now that Gearbox and Aspyr are practically the same company :)

It's already ported (to Stadia). :whistle:

Ludusavi seems like a pretty good open source game save backup tool

I just start steam with a script saying:
HOME=/home/pb/saves steam $@
so I have all Steam games' saves in one place, instead of them being scattered all over my home dir.
I imagine this can be easily done with other clients as well, such as lutris, gamehub, minigalaxy or legendary/heroic

Google shutting their internal game dev studios, focusing directly on Stadia tech

Probably they realised that exclusives will never pull as many people as hit games from other studios. Like Cyberpunk 2077.
