Somebody can say how it compares to the Portal bridge builder?

Quoting: EikeYou 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 where you're from, but here in France if a shopkeeper starts being suspicious towards his clients, they just leave the shop and never come back.

So, shop detectives, electronic door devices to scan for stolen stuff labels (CDs, clothes, ...) or other theft prevention isn't a thing in our neighbor country? I find that hard to believe (and would search on my own of you insist that would be true).

Quoting: Shmerl@Eike, also, if you want a good exposition on why overreaching preemptive policing is bad, I recommend reading Watchbird [External Link].

You either addressed the wrong person or you made up a totally wrong image of my opinion (which often happens when people got a pure black and white thinking and guess from being opposed at an aspect of something that the other person got a totally different opinion on everything of the topic). If the latter is true, take two steps back and read again what I wrote about and especially what I didn't write about.

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.

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.

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

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.
