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?

Quoting: AryvandaarI've been playing Pillars of Eternity The White March. It's quite fun, and I really like the new companions in the DLC. I have yet to finish Pillars of Eternity, and I have logged over 100 hours but I'm the kind of guy who play RPG as a competitionist, if the content is good of course.

I'm surprised that you play White March before finishing the main line. How does the DLC integrate?

Quoting: harfieldAnd what about performance ? The game looks very GPU and CPU demanding, do you guys think a GTX750ti + a quad xeon CPU at 3.0ghz and 16gb ram could handle it?

The game takes a stutter sometimes on even better systems, but as you are between minimum and recommended, you could give it a go.

Quoting: wolfyrionI have a Laptop 5-7 years old with an i5 and an NVIDIA 525M so I cant play any descent games.

(I think I should make a request to Liam to create a list for games that crappy computers can play)

There's still this list full of small and big games:

How about Limbo e.g.?

Quoting: dmantioneI disagree. Downloading and compiling your own Mesa, patching your AMDGPU driver, I have done it all to play some of their games, is not a good user experience and not the user experience a game developer should aim for their customers. This is the user experience that Feral gives their AMD user at the moment, and yes, at this point it becomes their problem, because it is not a motivator to buy their games.

What do expect?!? They are even improving the drivers for the users, which is not their job at all. It's not their fault - but the manufacturer's - that the drivers are not at a better level!

Did we already hear apologies from everybody that said that Feral doesn't do anything for supporting AMD?
