Quoting: slaapliedjeMy point is it isn't really their original art. Battletech has a huge amount of backstory to it from decades of novels, games, etc.

I'm not a Battletech guy, but it seems Jordan Weisman has some power to set its universe. Way, way more than me or you for sure.

Quoting: subFor me it would've helped quite a bit if they had included a slot for the dongle at the controller,
where you can put it when unplugged.

This one has it, but, even more so with shipping, might be a bit too expensive for such a feature:

Quoting: liamdaweAs for the Battle Royale mode, there's actually two variants of it. One with building and skills and one without. Apparrently the map will have a car you can find and drive too, sounds amusing.

As I've got no skills, I'd prefer the later one. ;)

Quoting: TheSHEEEPBut: What I say is that there is a difference between hypocrites (people who say A and do B) and do-gooders (people who say A, do A, claim that A is good, but A is actually a bad thing once you think about it more deeply).

So, a try-do-gooder?

A naive hypocrite then? :)

Erm, no, not at all. About the opposite.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThere is a difference between between doing good and being a do-gooder as I described them. Yes, the words, I know... don't blame me, blame the English language.

Language is not something happening to us, it's something made by us. I feel (strongly), we shouldn't perpetuate the connotation of "doing good" and something bad. (There's something similar in German with "Gutmensch" (eng: "good human".))

I'm a proud do-gooder/Gutmensch. I hope.

I wondered if I got it right and there is another meaning of "bum".
Image googling did confirm it. :D
Wondering what a simulator about those would be like...

Quoting: EikeYou're fine when you activate and start it on Linux, this overrides the selling system. I've set my work hrowser's user agent to Linux for the Steam page just to make sure.

Does this account for all games? I bought Trailblazers from GOG, first downloaded and played on linux but been dual-booting to play the actual thing because linux build has a game-breaking bug atm

Not sure if GOG is the same process as steam? Would feel bad as hell if they count that as a windows purchase when I bought it with the intention of playing it on linux

Sorry, what I wrote is valid for Steam, I don't know how other stores handle it.

Quoting: tmtvlOh right, there's 1 wargame in there.

Also, a game about war isn't a wargame, otherwise Valiant Hearts and Skyrim would we wargames as well.

Well, I'm surprised by this rather narrow definition. I'd call every game of the collection "Kriegsspiel" (literally "war game" ). Valiant Hearts would be an anti war game in my book, and Skyrim neither, as the war is not central to the game.

Quoting: HoriDamn!

I hurried and bought it on Windows by mistake (I'm at work, I don't have Linux here)
I got excited about Day of Infamy, which is the only one I want from there.

Will it still count as a Linux purchase if I activate the keys on Linux?

You're fine when you activate and start it on Linux, this overrides the selling system. I've set my work hrowser's user agent to Linux for the Steam page just to make sure.
