I wish them all the best, but IMHO, such attempts are doomed to fail. In the end, it will cost more than hardware off the shelf, not offer more, and there's not enough people caring enough for the topic to make it a success nevertheless.

Good luck.

Quoting: stretch611Despite proton sales and time in game being calculated as a linux purchase; it does not send the message that there is interest in the game from linux users... the clear message is that they can sell the game and make money without the need to develop a port.

WINE, Proton, DXVK are all wonderful technological achievements. I do think they help the linux community and can aid in making it grow. However, I think it is best used as a tool used to allow people to switch to linux and not leave their existing software library behind. Essentially, it can be a big investment that no one wants to lose by changing OS's.

Nothing to add from my side.

Quoting: tuubiI read that the phrase originates with the Roman lawyer Accursius in the thirteenth century. I'd assume aircraft weren't much of a concern back then. :whistle:

For this very reason, I wonder what the rights towards heaven were worth back then...

I actually thought about adding him, but as a German... :)

Excellent open and honest answer. It was a mistake, but developers are humans, too. Case closed, IMHO.

Quoting: GuestTo follow up what I've said on Reddit - bollocks. Read the Steam forum. The key was revoked as the developer thought it was a regular betatest key and revoked it as the beta expired. When it turned out it wasn't they corrected the mistake. You are portraying this as more than it is. No doubt you will censor this post.

Quoting: GuestYet you are portraying it as deliberate malicious intent when you have no proof of that whatsoever, apart from the posting of a guy who was obviously pissed off that his key had been revoked, and assumed it was due to his negative review.

Don't you think if the developers would have revoked it as a beta key, they would have stated in this very thread?

And you're implying the user citing the developer's email with "Sorry about that, but I thought I you weren't interested in playing the game." is simply lying to us, again without the developers saying so, right?

Quoting: Guestedit: Moreover, this is not a Linux issue - other than the fact that the game has a Linux build, the poster hasnt even mentioned Linux.

Would you allow us to look over the fence?

Maybe Liam is busy incorporating Proton in the stats? :-)
