I love the push they do on this now - apparently it's got focus. I'm still hoping for a fully fledged VR experience sometime this year, although I will have to adjust my initial hopes of it happening this summer.

:(
I'm definitely a Feral supporter so it pains me to say so but this will be the first Feral-release I will skip.
I'll make up for it by buying the next one at full price. :)

Not that I have anything against strategy games or turn based isometric RPGs in itself, but there's a serious overload of'em, especially if we talk relatively in the catalogue available for Linux.

Wow, looks really cool - is this singleplayer only, or multiplayer/coop too?

By all means, the privacy concerns regarding internet technology is massive. It can not be overstated. I'm with you there. It's gigantic, and almost impossible to imagine the world will ever be the same again in regards to those questions. But from a pragmatic perspective, I see this as unavoidable.
From a pure security perspective, and from a service providers perspective more than consumer perspective, I'm afraid we just have to realize that the less dependence on user decisions (and with that, privacy) the better. Biometric scans (voice, fingerprint, retina etc) are for example something that I expect will become a lot more common means for identification also for internet services. It's already common on the mobile phones, all that is needed is to extend that usage. And it's in excessive use on modern airports (face recognition).
But yeah - it will become harder and harder to remain anonymous, or to even control the information about you out there. And the morale and ethical questions around this are of course huge.
PS: I never started using Linux "to escape MS's monopoly" - I did it because it's simply the better OS for my line of work. ;)

Quoting: KimyrielleI do otherwise agree with you that we need something better than static passwords.I am however doubtful that you'll like the tech that will replace it, in regards to your privacy concerns. :)

I get Doom vibes. The lava glow in the Feral letters at the end there? Lot's of lava in Doom. The weapon is of course the chaingun.
Please please... Let it be Doom.
