Congratulations! I'm glad GoL is here for those fellow gamers freeing themselves from the shackles of Windows and macOS!

I believe it was John Carmack (id Software) who stated years ago that if it's just about making money, only Windows matters. Considering around 75% of Windows-only games can be run on Linux, I'm perfectly happy being on the Linux side of things. 👍🏼

As I'd like to not assume; would playing via Proton count as a Windows purchase, or does Steam recognize that a particular title is being played on Linux via Proton and report it as Linux? Thanks.

Quoting: finaldestYes, Another Doom game.

Was not a fan of Eternal so hope the game is more like 2016.
I was going to complain about the publisher but lost my train of thought when I read this comment. I completely agree! Too much dancing, weapons swapping, etc for my old ass self when I wanted a beautfil boomer shooter with a couple of extras. I reinstalled and am trying another go at the wimpiest level 🙄

Not announced, I wonder if X3D versions will arrive later, to stave off people (ie; like the Gamers Nexus and LTT crews) from figuring out that the better offerings for gaming are cheaper and a few months away… again.

Kaspersky release a free Virus Removal Tool for Linux

Quoting: MayeulCI don't want to start a flame war or highly (geo)political arguments here, but you should 1. look up the definition of genocide [External Link] 2. Have a look at https://icj-cij.org/case/182 [External Link] (hint: forced assimilation, killings, indoctrination and deportation of children fit the bill, collateral victims are a tragedy but not genocide). I'm quite sensitive about this topic.
That's the thing about facts, they don't care about feelings. They're calling out Israel on committing genocide so maybe you're the one with the faulty dictionary… or heart.

Maybe comments should be disabled since a pattern is already present, but Kaspersky are not doing operating from a country directly or indirectly involved in mass genocide, if we're going to be throwing rocks, remember that we're in a glass house.

As Liam noted later in the article (I suggest watching the referenced GN video), unless their approach to dealing with customers changes, I personally don't plan on buying from them any time soon. Looks nice tho.
