'Factorio' is another game that was being hit by key scammers

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: Eike... like Feral and Aspyr.
Aspyr doesn't have a store anymore, right?
I though the same, but when I looked it up, it seems they had a store on another website, closed this one - but still have their store on their own website.
All the "BUY IT NOW" links seem to point to the Steam store though?

Hm.
https://blog.aspyr.com/2016/11/15/game-agent-sunsetting/ [External Link] says "All Aspyr games are available directly at Aspyr.com [External Link]." But there, the links go to Steam. The Mac App Store link at least looks like it could have some affiliate benefit.

Quoting: tuubiYou don't need a whitelist. Just stick to Steam, GOG and Humble or buy direct from dev.

... like Feral and Aspyr. If you want a game ported by them, optimally buy it from their respective store.

Quoting: LinasOnce in a while I also buy from Indie Gala and Bundle Stars. As far as I know, they are legit stores (right?), but I have heard that they don't sell Linux keys, even if they list Linux as a platform. Can anybody shed some light on that?

http://www.epicbundle.com/official-steam-reseller [External Link] says they are official Steam resellers. Didn't find info from Steam/Valve itself.

But they are selling "Windows keys", which does not mean you can't play under Linux, but does mean that whoever is getting or counting money won't see that you're a Linux customer. This has been explicitly said by Feral:

The 'Humble Bundle's Best of 2016' has some great Linux games for cheap

I've put 20 hours into Shadowrun Returns and 34 into Shadowrun: Dragonfall (Director's Cut).
I'm sure Shadowrun: Hong Kong is worth it as well.

Quoting: DribbleondoA distinct Lack of Payday 2 is quite strange for the music category.

Sorry, I forgot to nominate it for you.

SteamVR support for Linux looks like it's getting close

Quoting: tuubiWell I'm not German. Arcades never were that popular around here. I'm sure there are some, but I wouldn't know where to look for them.

Me neither, but it seems they are coming back. VR arcade does sound like lots of fun, you wouldn't have to care for hardware and software, ... Like with exit games or paintball. Let's see.
