I'm reducing my stack of shame at the moment and I'm undertaking not to build up one anymore.
Not trying this for the first time, though. :)

I think it totally makes sense for such a game. It's old, and it's somewhat special. About everbody who's interested in it will already own it. There's no money to be made by a port except when asking for additional money. That said, some recognition for those who already own it, like a cheaper upgrade, would be nice.. On the other hand - it's so cheap in the first place...

It's totally awesome, as the main character would say!

And, by the way, the third part is the only thing I ever backed on Kickstarter.

Quoting: ShmerlWhy is contractor work called "consulting"

That's normal in software development.

Quoting: STiATI wanted to comment to @Shmerl. But gamingonlinux decided to time out on me. Again. As daily several times. Too pissed to write more right now.

The new server was supposed to be better, since we got it, I have more timeouts and low loading times from austria than when I ask my wife to cook dinner (I'm cooking... for good reason ^^).

How long does it take you to write messages? I never had this (Germany), but then, I'm mostly writing short messages...

Quoting: meggermanValve were right about Microsofts goals with regards to gaming on windows via the app stores and a walled garden approach. Recently MS has been moving forward at a faster pace with their xbox integration and valve are ( relatively speaking ) running out of time for a viable alternative.

It really looks like their lever on Microsoft.
"You're doing more app store enforcement? Well, we can hire Linux developers..."

Quoting: gehneoI accidentially bought it a second time today on the Feral store (first time in Steam Winter Sale but didn't play it yet). So, whoever reads this comment and wants a Steam key for Mad Max – PM me and I'll send you the key. Though I am not 100% sure if the code still works after I tried to activate it and it failed because I already owned the game.

Ooops. :-)

It will work, as it didn't activate anything.

But maybe Feral would exchange it for another game?

Quoting: GuestI haven't seen any hate in the chat yet. But I'm playing on the GOL server not sure of that made a difference. But then what game doesn't have hate in the chat. I just don't pay attention to it.

I ye goode olde days, where you had server browsers (like in this game, it seems), it was enough for me when there was one server without hate. And then there seem to be games that don't attract haters: Frozen Synapse was special in this regard (among others) for me. I'm just not able to overlook hate.

Quoting: GuestBO is great though and I haven't had an issue with it, but then I have only played 90 odd mins of the game so far! I am also one of those ppl that doesnt really read comments on a game I find someone playing it on youtube or twitch and see what I think from that.

What about the other players? I don't like players hating around in chat...

Quoting: saildataTwo games that I've avoided because of the negative comments on Steam : / I've gone back and forth on Ballistic Overkill since, as you said, it's so cheap. Dumb comments, lol. I'll get it.

I just wanted to write that I'm avoiding it due to early access. Now I saw "Last weeks of early access" and "Its cheaper now, and you’ll get some exclusive vanity items that will never be available again for participating and contributing with our early access. Because you're awesome."
Hmm...

Anybody can tell if it's realistic that they are getting out of early access soon? Did they reach the goals they are mentioning?
Does it have a healthy player base? Cross platform?
