Now this [External Link] looks very tabletopish...!

Quoting: TheRiddickThere is more to value then simple monetary cost...

Having my own PC is of high value to me, too. But we have to be clear about the arguments: My bet is (I didn't calculate either) that Stadia is cheaper, and by a large margin, if you don't have special other needs (video editing or whatever). It's to me like saying "Linux is better in every respect!" It's not, it's just the better system for me and my needs.

Quoting: TheRiddick

I'm missing numbers in your post.
You were talking about "cheaper", which is all about comparing numbers.

Quoting: TheRiddickIf only Stadia's business model wasn't so toxic and void of any value to the end user. There are better and cheaper options!

Like buying a gaming PC?
I'd be interested in that calculation...

Quoting: DrMcCoyI played Technobabylon natively with a self-compiled AGS some time ago.

I should really look if I can create a portable package of that AGS for people to download and use. Maybe poke also Wadjet Eye with it, or maybe see if that could go into Steam like that DOSBox container thing.

Dave from Wadjet Eye once said that his wife is making the Linux version, then that she was ill, then silence. This time, I hope it just wasn't worth the effort...

Maybe you can lend a helping hand here [External Link]?

Quoting: BielFPsEither way, I personally just hope they gave us a feedback later instead of been in "Total Silence" :wink:

I mainly see it as a social event TBH. Collective dreaming. :-)

Quoting: BielFPsI hope they actually listen to the games being asked here (or at least give us a feedback about why not) instead just being silent and release another Total War...

They once said that yes, they are reading through the proposals (probably also here, but not sure about that).

But after that, they're silently doing what's possible or financially attractive, of course. To the best of my knowledge, they never said anything about a why not, though, and I guess that's the best way for them to handle it.

(Without reading 10 pages of wishes...)
The most important thing to me here is that it's another good sign for Linux ports that they are asking.

Quoting: jarhead_hHonestly, I'd rather that they negotiate to port their entire MacOS catalog over to Linux than they look for anything new.

I really wonder why they didn't bring any Lego game to us penguins.

Quoting: slapinSorry, phone typing.

Yeah, I know the problem.

Real keyboards and wires are men's best friend.
