They're postive and still honest about their support. I see no reason not to cover such cases!

Unforeseen Incidents is a fantastic point and click adventure now out with Linux support

I played through game and met none of the bugs you mentioned. Developers have already released a patch for bugs met by others. If you expect a game not taking itself too serious, it's a strong recommendation from me.

Quoting: NanobangWhat others? Who are you talking about, and why and how are they "a problem" for you? I don't mean to sound strident, Eike. I feel like you're trying to say something, but, really, the more I try and find meaning, the less I see you saying.
If there's 99% sane and responsible people (which may or may not include you, I don't know and it doesn't matter for the point made), there's 1% other people. "I'm an adult and fine with taking responsibility", "I won't shoot anybody with my automatic rifle", "I'm not wanting Adolf Hitler back." (for the records: I met people online who want) and the like doesn't touch the problem at all.

PS: I'm not a native speaker of the English language. "about anybody" was supposed to mean "nearly anybody". If this is not correct, I'm always open for corrections. (Seriously.)

Quoting: NanobangYes, yes, and which are whose, etc. I pretty much had to know that for my response to make a lick of sense, but thank you all the same. :)
You being responsible doesn't help about anybody but yourself, e.g. it doesn't help Valve. The problem always aren't the responsible adults, but the others.

We've teamed up with GOG for another fantastic giveaway: Surviving Mars & Iconoclasts

I'd love to get Surviving Mars.

No joke: My father administrated a Unix computer system of a juristical court. One day he wondered what unknown file that was in the root of the file system. He deleted it. So the system missed... its kernel.

Quoting: NanobangGood. I'm glad Steam has grown up and grown some huevos.
...by taking the most spineless position possible that avoids actually having to actually do anything.
I hear you, but I'm an adult and fine with taking responsibility for my own buying decisions.
He wasn't talking about your responsibilities, but about theirs.

Tell me five title runs on Linux via CryEngine
I don't need to, the amount of titles means nothing.
Well, one would be fine, though...?

Intel has confirmed their plans for a discrete GPU to release in 2020

Quoting: ewertonuriasOmg... I'm Brazilian, our salary is R$ 1000, and a "GTX 1060 Galaxy 6GB 192Bits here costs R$ 1600.
Here practically everything is inaccessible.

Where do you live, it's also so expensive? Asking for curiosity.
I think there's quite different numbers for average wages depending on how you're calculating it, but the first I met for Germany is 1900€ (after tax). The GPU would be about 300€ at the moment. (Do consider that GPU prices have been on a rise for a long time due to crypto mining, but have been dropping lately.)

Please, please, let me have a non-persistent, non-progessing, pure-action option.
Just fire and forget.
Thanks.

Quoting: GuestIt definitely makes a difference! Day-1 releases and games that generally give great Linux support get a great percentage of Linux gamers supporting them, too.
Most people want to play games when they are fresh, when people are talking, magazines writing and YouTube/Switch playing...
