Site update: Content bookmarking system now live

It's not very easy to find the bookmark list, if you don't know where it is. Could you make it available directly from the top bar, instead of going trough the control panel? Maybe a bookmark icon next to the envelope (notification) icon?

Edit: Clarified what I actually meant.

'Factorio' is another game that was being hit by key scammers

Quoting: tuubiAspyr doesn't have a store anymore, right?
Isn't that MacGameStore and WinGameStore?

Liam, I was about to comment that maybe this article wasn't necessary. (Maybe it wasn't after all) But then I read the comments on reddit and holy crap, I am with you. You are doing good and important work, and I will continue supporting you knowing that you deserve it. Don't let malicious people discourage you.

Well, damn. I just assumed that if it says Linux on the package, it's a Linux key. Do we have a whitelist of shops that actually do sell proper Linux keys?

Once in a while I also buy from Indie Gala and Bundle Stars. As far as I know, they are legit stores (right?), but I have heard that they don't sell Linux keys, even if they list Linux as a platform. Can anybody shed some light on that?

I am really looking forward to this one. Great news!

Small site update, new directory page for people with Twitch and Youtube channels
14 Jan 2017 at 1:08 am UTC

Apparently there are quite a few links that are not valid or not actually YouTube. You should do some validation.

Some promotion for high quality YouTube channels would be nice. Maybe Linux gaming related videos could be featured in an article once in a while?

Also unrelated, but would you consider renaming User CP to something like Control Panel? The acronym is not really that well known or unambiguous.

Ballistic Overkill, possibly my current favourite online FPS updated, available in more countries now too

That is a weird selection of countries. Looks like regional pricing issue, except for the fact that Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia are EU countries that pay EU prices for Steam games, and have no special censorship laws like Germany. :huh:

Some thoughts on Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, the real-time tactics game
10 Jan 2017 at 10:03 pm UTC

Seems to be exactly what I need to recover from the trauma that Jagged Alliance: Back in Action gave me.

(Explanation: 10 hours into the game realised that all the weapons in the Linux version had the same range. Meaning that the bad guys with pistols would outrange your guys with rifles. They never fixed that, and it still is for sale.)

Exclusive: Civilization VI now fully confirmed to be coming for SteamOS & Linux and soon too

But the real question is where can I get such cutesy penguin myself? :)
