Quoting: Geppeto35when we buy on Feral, we have steam key or something more like GOG linux releases?

At least a Steam key, don't know if there's a pure download as well.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSounds like they took the drivers from testing and backported it for SteamOS.

... or are they using the Debian backports [External Link]?

Quoting: ArkonaIf I was you I would delete this post from the site. There are so many people who's family members and close friends were killed only in the last year, or raped, or raped and killed, who will find all this very offending.
I sincerely surprised that some publisher answer like that to people they expect to buy there's games talking about such a controversial thing.
This is also a huge black spot on this site and you should not write about such an incident. Except, of course, if you are hoping for financing from Soros and company. But I think that it's not a good idea.

It seems you are implicitly connecting regfugees to raping and murder? That's strange...

Personal view: I learned just yesterday that four flats in the house I live in are used by refugees. Didn't know there were any. My wife wasn't raped and I wasn't murered. Just met some politely greeting darker skinned people lately.

As personal view doesn't have any relevance for societies: I'm living in Germany, and as you're aware for sure, we took many refugees. Germany's rate of murder in 2015 was 40% lower than 20 years ago.

Quoting: EikeI feel you missed a joke here.

Can you explain the joke? Maybe isn't funny in my country.

I think M@yeulC did a good job explaining it, but here's my attempt.

This is the original message:

Quoting: Segata SanshiroSince apparently all the content of Paradox's games reflect their views, then they must also be in favour of religious genocide, cultural assimilation, genocide of indigenous peoples, be followers of every major religion that has existed since the year ~800 concurrently, be fans of both Stalin and Hitler, colonialism, free trade, protectionism, etc.

Political correctness gone mad, something has to be done about these Marxist loons.

These games contain lots of controversial stuff and lots of stuff that's hopefully not even controversial. The guy complaining about refugees policies turned a blind eye to all of them. He could as well called them fascists, rascists, murderers, ... Or he understands that the game is just reflecting stuff humans do or have done and does not attribute a certain cherry he picks from it to Paradox. Calling them Marxists ist just one other (semi-random) cherry on could pick.

Quoting: cprnAll of it isn't as simple as described. I work for an Internet Payment Service Provider in Poland. Users (sellers, people receiving payments in general, i.e. acceptants) have a choice when they subscribe to a service (in our case, they sign an agreement, in some cases registering an account is sufficient). They can either pay extra (higher commission) for fraud prevention or not. If they don't, they have to deal with chargebacks. If they do, great deal of fraudulent operations is rejected before the card is charged and those that went through are charged back (when we get a proper complaint from a cardholder or card issuer, of course), however, there's no fine and the user gets a refund on commission. The problem is, some tiny percentage of legitimate payments gets rejected in the process and users are greedy... they don't like to hear they'll get less payments and they don't understand it isn't something bad. So what they do? They decide to subscribe with the lowest possible commission taking responsibility for all the frauds (but 3ds) and at the same time they don't get any other fraud protection service (there are 3rd party risk estimation providers, just google "maxmind"). What happens at G2A is a sad thing. But seriously, people should know all the facts before they are fed with opinions.

Thanks for your insights!

But isn't it the case that G2A doesn't have interest in hard fraud prevention?
Because they're not the ones having to pay when fraud happens?

This motherfuckers ain't marxists.
I'm communist and i can't understand this level of stupidness about the SJWs.

Btw, it's funny how 2 or 3 comments from stupid people can make an ideology to be "loon", they don't represent us. This SJWs are just Soros puppets.

I feel you missed a joke here.

Quoting: medvePlease, developers, let your product be free of real-world politics!

If we want to see computer games as kind of art, being free of real politics will not and must not happen.
(If we don't, it still will not and must not happen.)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere is actually no irony in organized anarchism. An + archy = no ruler. Not, no rules. It's perfectly possible to be organized without a boss.

You won't find your definition in a dictionary.

I wondered the same, but di the lookup:
[It is adapted from the ancient Greek (ἀναρχία-anarchia) meaning "absence of a leader”.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy_%28international_relations%29#Etymology:)

A word's etymology is not the same as its meaning.

Merriam-Webster, first explanation:
1 a : absence of government [External Link]
