Quoting: TriasSuch thing is possible, I think. And now I'm suddenly worried about my backer key...
:(.

Thanks for backing this game!

Quoting: headless_cyborgPeople complain about lack of cross-platform MP yet many buy it on sites like Fanatical where it's most likely counted as Windows purchase. That's a part of the problem.
Just bought Deluxe edition on Steam to support RPG Linux devs, we need more games like this supported natively.

I don't get it.
You buy it on fanatical, you give your money to the linux developer which is the same of the windows version.
You activate on steam, you play on steam, they know you are on linux.

What am i missing here? Seriously.

We know that the OS is evaluated in the weeks after the sale. It might be the case that these keys already count as sold, so the target OS is already set in stone - and it defaults to Windows.

Quoting: damarrinThere’s always the option to buy a box, eg here W3 costs around 33€ from a shop. I haven’t actually looked at the box to see if it’s a steam key. It’ll be rather useless to a Linux user if not, plus there’s always the debate about whether it counts as aLinux sale or not.

I vaguely remember boxes might not count as Linux sale even with a Steam key. (I had been so proud of my box with "Linux" printed very small somewhere on the backside back then...! :cry: )

Quoting: GuestI do and it's not the taxes.

The whole rest of your post was reffering to taxes, so I assumed the first sentence would, too.

Quoting: GuestIt's the wonderful 'digital single market' or whatever it's called. Back before this AAA game prices on release were around what 15-20 eur cost now (kind of like the price of the game if you buy it in russia atm), and now we are paying 60 euros.

I can't say for other courties, but if I compare the prices of games in the eighties with thhose today, taking into account inflation, games are actually cheaper (here) than they used to be. (Would actually be interesting if I find my Wasteland I bill. :D )

Sorry, then you probably wanted to reply to another poster.

You're right, I was talking about damarrin's post, which was all about taxes.

Quoting: damarrinAs for the rest of what you’ve written, I don’t know what you’re trying to say? It’s probably illegal everywhere in the eu.

I was naming Germany because I actually don't know about the rest of the EU (and didn't want someone to come up with, "no, it's not like that in my EU member country!" :) ). This, having to state price with VAT from the beginning, might be something ruled by national law.

Quoting: damarrinYou realise it’s the EU screwing us, not anyone else?

I call it taxes, not screwing. They're doing thing for us with the money. But I don't think this is the place to discuss this.

Quoting: damarrinThe price in Europe includes VAT, prices in the US don’t. There’s no VAT on digital purchases in the US. There is VAT on physical ones, but prices are always quoted without it and it’s added at payment time only if the company you’re buying from has business presence in the state you’re in.

At least in Germany, law protects us from such behaviour. Suddenly showing VAT later in the order process is illegal (for private customers), so we're always shown full price from the beginning.

If it's reported to be technically fine, I'll buy it.
