Quoting: PatolaIt's weird that it became so apparent for this particular game. There are a lot of other games with "diversity" gimmicks too, like Event[0], Gone Home, Tacoma and several others.

They get their share of hate. Gone Home for sure.

Quoting: zimplex1I can't in good conscience support this game; not with the forced diversity and the "they" issue.

Awwww...!

It is correct. The technology is called PXE.

Quoting: moolnHas someone had luck with this game on Debian 9?

Yes.I didn't find time to play the game, but I was able to run the benchmark with the 390 driver. I think it was from sid, but it's in stretch-backports now.

K, I imagined some starting point for this, but the amount of them is mind boggling :O

So, they should be interested in Linux when they read this GoG thread...

Quoting: ShmerlThe difference is more clarity. Physical goods have an instance to which you can apply common use cases such as first sale doctrine and the like. Digital case is more complicated and way less consistent. And various owners try to get away with messing up the rights of the user.

The difference is they are trying to get away with it? Well... *shrug*

Back to real life: We are able to copy and run a part of the games from Steam. Noone will ever find out. (If somebody would, I'd be ready to take on the fight, but this is not real life again.)

So, Steam is offering DRM, some of the games are using it (I got no idea of a percentage), others are not.
Steam is not DRM, it offers DRM.
