Hopefully this means remasters are in the plans, not just the usual copyright mumbo jumbo. Doesn't concern me much as I have already bought them, I still hate it when a game just disappears from the store without warning.

Doesn't mean they won't be put back up, though. They removed Castle of Illusion in the past and now it's back in the store (apparently the licence has expired and then was renewed).

Happy birthday, GoL! Let's see what the next decade brings upon us. ;-)

Quoting: fagnerlnThey should switch the primary mint to Debian, LMDE is in good shape and off the canonical craziness.

I've used Mint for some time, switched to LMDE pretty early in the process, and never looked back at the ubuntu edition, which didn't work so well for me anyway.

Snap is a good idea on the surface, but it doesn't work that well. It might be useful for distributing some exotic apps that need specific dependencies (games come to mind...) but in everyday usage it's just too messy and feels bloated.

It's definitely the worst and the most confusing sale event I can remember, and that wishlist conundrum only underlines it. I hope the cards will return for the next sale, I have like 30 badges to craft, waiting.

Quoting: cprnI find my 360 controllers not working unless I run the game from Big Picture. No idea why there's actual difference.

Try going into controller settings and *disabling* "xbox cofiguration support", that usually helps.

Quoting: finaldestGRRR. I feel I was denied critical, Neeeeeeeed to know, Information.

I have dropped £60 this week on Games/DLC and now a steam sale appears.:sick:

You can request a refund on the games if you haven't played them for 2h+ yet. "the game is cheaper now" is a valid reason for that.

I guess I've held off getting one of these long enough. Bought one. :-)

Quoting: pbDoes Epic allow devs/pubs to sell Epic Store keys elsewhere? If not, why?

There are Epic codes on Humble. Whether they can be generated free of change remains to be seen though.

That's good to know. However I checked for The Walking Dead and it's not there. I completed TWD 1&2, I'd like to play 3&4 but they are currently Epic exclusive and Epic Store refuses to sell them to me, because payment methods readily accepted by steam, humble, fanatical and lots of others are not good enough for Epic. Which is probably for the better, because I tried to install epic launcher with wine and it didn't, well, launch...

I’d like to challenge critics to state what moral principle you feel is at stake. If it’s okay for one company to avoid the 30% Valve tax by selling exclusively through their own store, why is it wrong for multiple companies to work together to achieve the same goals?

It's quite simple really. Valve gets 30%, yes, but only on Steam Store purchases. Every developer or publisher are welcome to generate keys for free and sell them in their own shop or other stores. So effectively Valve's cut is significantly less. And with all that Steam provides (infrastructure, community, marketing) it's really just about right. Does Epic allow devs/pubs to sell Epic Store keys elsewhere? If not, why?
