Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: brokeassbenI had multi-factor authentication enabled on my account, wiped the phone with the authenticator on it, and can't find my backup codes. So my itch.io account is now lost forever :(

I imagine if you email them, with some kind of proof, they would be quite reasonable about it. You must have some emails somewhere from itch you can dig up to prove ownership.

Worked for me with Steam. Give it a try.

Quoting: ShabbyXValve ported one of their games to Linux in 2013 and wrote a blog post about how it became faster than windows with so little time optimizing it, and got microsoft knocking on their door, and took directx out of life support.

I won't exactly call us under the radar.

I don't think I'm the only one who thought differently about the chances of native Linux gaming back in 2013...

Quoting: EikeDo you trust random people?
Do you leave your door or car open?

Random people don't come to your house to spy on you or to restrict what you can do.

That's neither what I was taking about nor what the quote from you was about.

You complained that "DRM doesn't trust you and treats you as a potential criminal apriory." - and that's what you're doing with random foreign people as well, and for a reason. There's bad people out there.

So, you cannot demand trust from companies (or other foreign people).

I don't know what to do with this. It doesn't mean that DRM is good and even less so that every measure of DRM is ok. I just wanted to point this out.

Quoting: fleskDoes GOG have the infrastructure to split sales between multiple publishers, depending on the platform a game is downloaded to? If not, that could explain why.

They could still do it as Steam did some years ago for a couple of games, like selling "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" and "Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Linux)"

Quoting: ShmerlDRM doesn't trust you and treats you as a potential criminal apriory. So even from basic security perspective, you should treat DRM as a malware apriori in return. Trust can only be mutual.

Quoting: ZlopezI'm happy about seeing the Wasteland 3 to have Linux support, but I'm sad that this will be probably last inXile game with it. It's another loss for Linux gaming community.

I won't bet, but I'm not sure about this. Microsoft probably doesn't care much about Linux gaming, we're under the radar.

Quoting: ZlopezSo if I am white heterosexual I can celebrate the pride month?

Yes, of course!
I've been to Christopher Street day parades and it's been lots of fun.

Was this supposed to be some rhetorical question?

Quoting: psy-qYeah, when I did try to argue, it usually boiled down to that person not wanting to know or hear anything about Linux (not even that others might use it). Or they were people who didn't mind the telemetry in Win 10.

I found those few who were most interested in talking Linux down were those that had tried it and didn't succeed. Kind of unrequited love...

Windows users insulting linux users, linux users insulting windows users

I never ever heard anybody insult anyone with "You hetero!" (or whatever the heterosexual version of insulting homosexual might look like in English).
