Quoting: fagnerlnA bit off topic, a funny thing about Unity games is that on Proton it not only runs better, it is more stable and have a LOT better controller support, sometimes it maps incorrectly the button layout or not recognize it at all, on proton is perfect.

When I see that the game is "made with Unity" I immediately force some proton version. lol

I hope that games compiled on Unity 2019 have a better penguin support

I cannot remember a single problem with the load of Unity games I've played. Thanks, Unity!

Quoting: CatKillerIs this a Unity problem? I thought the issue with games was that they weren't using platform codecs, but the Unity documentation there implies they do, and playing h.264 files on Linux hasn't really been a problem for quite a long time - unless your distro takes a free-software-only stance, which you'd already have needed to work around to install games.

When testing Encodya, I could play back the video file without problems manually, but it didn't run at all in the game in the first test version. So, it's Unity.

Quoting: LungDragoWhen you walk into a store and literally everything is marked as on sale, the inherent effect of more publicity by the virtue of being on sale is lost. The user experience of that sucks even in real life.

I don't see the problem... In the big sales (Christmas and such), everything is either on sale, very new or practically abandoned. So, buy what you want to play (and can afford). If you tend to miss sales, buy more than you have time to play. If you need it cheap, sort your wishlist by discount.
(Maybe some "sniper tool" like for ebay would help you? Buy automatically as soon as price drops under X bucks?)

BTW and OT, there's a hint for abandoned games I find interesting: Steam changed from horicontal to vertical game images. Every game still having a vertical one can be considered abandoned, I guess.

Quoting: LungDragoAlso let me point out that I did ask for better options. It is not my intention or wish to rip of the devs, if it was, I would indeed pirate the game, but I am not using that option. I am arguing though that G2A does provide a convienience service that is not available anywhere else. There are use cases for it and if it weren't around, games would go unpurchased and unplayed - after all, when I missed it once, what's there to stop me from missing it again?

Yes, the question is legit and I understand your motivation.

Quoting: LungDragoSo, you're saying my best option is to spend hours wishlisting hundreds of games across various stores and spam my email account with a bunch of games I might or might not want to buy at some point?

... I don't think this is so much to ask for, though.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a better legit option.

Is SteamDB token dumping [External Link] trusted?

Quoting: DuncBeware that the recommended specs given on Steam are laughably inadequate these days, though. When it came out, I could run it comfortably in 4MB. Today, it struggles with 8 (which is to say that it's playable, but only with smaller cities, and forget any mods).

You sure it wasn't 4 KB? ;)

You didn't use to go to actual real world markets to see if it has got the game you want and for which price back in the times, right?

Quoting: randylI love these events.

TBH to me they seem often to be absolutely useless. But if it is fun for people, why not.

Useful for what?

Well, it's mainly useful for people who have lost control over their game collection...

... which, of course, is the majority of Steam users. :D

I guess the next is something for everybody, though...
