"Allow for more development time to further polish the game, ensuring that it [...] meets the high expectations of fans and beta testers". Sounds like the testers weren't too happy (and sounds a little bit like they'd want to say it's the testers' fault).

Quoting: XpanderGreat to see you are using Linux PC wording. Need more of that!
I couldn't start the demo, altough there is one for Linux:
They've linked an exe file (and manually starting didn't work either).
Need less of that...

Quoting: flesk
Quoting: EikeI loved the original Desperados. Now I tried to play Shadow Tactics, but somehow...
I cannot stand the genre anymore. :-(
I had the complete opposite experience this summer: After finishing Shadow Tactics (in a hotel in Arendal (which inspired Arendell of the Frozen movies)), I tried to play the original Desperados (which is also available for Linux), but I just couldn't get into it.
Oh, I cannot get into original Desperados anymore either nowadays!

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo I'm sure, since everyone will look at that and think about how it would work before posting, we won't get a bunch of generalized inapplicable "censorship bad cuz snowflakes" posts.
Sure. :-D

There's people so easily triggered though, they would call themselves snowflakes if they'd realize.

Quoting: kibblesYay! I love the nanny state!
Weil, as you're confusing Steam with a state, I knew the rest wouldn't be worth reading. Turned out it wasn't indeed.

I consider this very important news. Nobody except some Linux freaks ;) buys from an unknown company mainly producing Linux laptops. But many companies and private people buy from the big companies and may stumble into this.

VirtuaVerse. Good point and click, and I love the music!

Ventoy is my new favourite tool for Linux distro-hopping

Quoting: GuestI installed my current system ten years ago, and am still using it exclusively :wink:

So, I do not think I qualify as a distro-hopper… I guess I distro-settled a looong time ago.
Thought the same... I had my system over 15 years, until I couldn't figure out a problem... created by 15 years old config files nobody tested against anymore. :-) Reinstalled the same distribution.

So, why distro-hopping when there's [insert your favourite distribution here]? ;-)

Observer: System Redux should be available for Linux PC too
