Check out a free game from the same dev: https://store.steampowered.com/app/272060/Serena/ [External Link]
Works well on Linux, at least it did a few years back when I played it.

Quoting: vskye$999.00 is a really hard price to justify, even if I could afford it.

It's not essential. It's a niche gadget. The price will more than halve if vr goes mainstream.

Nice deal, but I'll wait till Index and Alyx both work perfectly on SteamOS.

Quoting: Xaero_VincentI'm surprised Valve is allowing people who don't own to play remotely with friends in Co-op. Only one person needs to own said game?

I'm also surprised that game developers are okay with this as well, since it means a friend can play without owning the game and thus less game revenue?

If you invite a friend over and you play together on your couch, they don't need to own the game. But if your friend likes the game and wants to play some more, they need to buy it. The idea is to allow for the same experience here with the hope for achieving the same effect.

Quoting: GrifterOvercooked 2 has proper multiplayer so no need to use this for it

...unless the other players don't own Overcooked 2.

I tested it on a few broken achievements (not unlocking in-game despite fulfilling the requirements) and it didn't work for any of them. It might work for cheating (unlocking achievements that work correctly) but doesn't work where it's really needed, not for me at least.

They have my respect for sticking to the "no discount" rule in today's gaming reality. They have a unique product and make the best of it. And they got my money long ago, while normally I would probably wait for it to go on -75% sale or in a bundle. :whistle:

But isn't various middleware what causes the most problems?

Quoting: shorbergHow come I've never thought about such a simple solution to keeping games from cluttering up my home? Any gotchas you've found with that solution so far?

I had to move or symlink some stuff in .config and .local/share but I've done it along the way when something didn't work etc. One example is .local/share/vulkan, the other is .config/pulse already mentioned by MayeulC. Also symlinked .config/godot so that I can run it either from steam or directly and have the same stuff. And of course it took some time to move all the clutter from $HOME because games can save their stuff in the most obscure places...
