Erm... The easiest way to get such exclusives would be to buy the last games still ported to Linux before they get publicly available, no...?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's so cute! Nice to see something with a look that isn't bleak and dark and depressing. I mean, I have nothing against cynicism and post-apocalyptic angst, but sometimes it seems like that's all there is any more.

Sky Racket is nothing for me, but yes, some days you need something positive.
Bought A Short Hike for this yearning lately. (Didn't play it yet, though.)

Quoting: KimyrielleHeh, there certainly have been some debates about that issue. Apparently it didn't help all that much. Tomb Raider existed before 2014, and that's still the only truly major franchise featuring a female lead I am aware of. Other than that, there have been some rare one-hit-wonder gems like Life is Strange (it's successor-by-name-only features boy characters, so I don't count that as a female-lead franchise), Horizon or Hellblade, but in the end, video games are still largely made by men for men.

And to be honest, when Lara Croft was new, she was famous (even among non-gamers AFAIR) for their huge secondary sexual characteristics. Not sure if this was a good example for non-sexist games (back then).

Quoting: fagnerlnAh, and talking about drugs, I bet that mostly of you in the comments support the "free drugs" movement. "People are free to use any drug they want, because they 'own' yourselves, but gambling, nah, please government, save them", ironic

Ironically, you pointed at the difference between adults and kids yourself in the very same posting...

The adult is responsible for the children, not the government, is that hard to get?

We've been talking about your drugs example (that's why I quoted it). So what's your conclusion of "The adult is responsible for the children, not the government" with respect to this topic, drug legalization?

Quoting: fagnerlnHERE WE GO AGAIN...

We don't need the government controlling even more our lives, the parents should moderate what their children are using.

Does this seem to work well?

I watched a bit of it on Saturday.
I wasn't sure every "uuurderrr" was really neeeded either.
You do have some interesting traditions for sure. ;)

Quoting: toojaysYeah, I'm no marketing guy but it does seem like a strange way to position their tiers. It devalues the "premium" tier. IMO they'd have been better to shift existing subscribers over to the premium tier at the current price, and not even have a "classic" tier.

The page itself looks really strange...

"Meet the Classic plan!"
"The Classic plan is the best way to subscribe"
"Don't miss out on the Classic plan"
"Lock in the classic plan"
"To learn more about the Classic plan, read our Frequently Asked Questions."

It doesn't look like they're serious about the other tiers.
