Quoting: Segata SanshiroThat's very interesting... I think if companies like Aspyr and Feral knew about this then they'd be tempted to have some strong words with these companies maybe because this would no doubt take a healthy chunk of their profits away. That, or they already know about it and are trying to sort it out.
They totally know, AFAIR someone from Feral even said this about Bundlestars explicitely. There's just nothing they can do against it.

Yes, I've made it more clear now below the quote.
Thanks. There ain't such thing as "too clear". ;)

Valve Is Trolling Us With A New Half-Life 3 Leak

I once had a game which was praised for its physics simulation, but I ended up with a box stuck half in a wall in the very beginning, probably the tutorial. It was in some kind of cellar if I recall correctly... Unfortunalety, I neither recogince the scene in HL1 nor in HL2, but I still think this was what made me stop play one of them. Unfortunately. Never got into them when I got them later, 2013 or 2014. So, I'm adding to the crowd...

Little Inferno was an amazing experience to me. I sat down and played it and wondered and wondered what all this is about and if it's really only burning the right stuff in the chimney and watch it burn down...
... until after the ending, I realized it was about half past 2 in the night and I had played it for many hours while my girlfriend had gone to sleep long before.

First things first: It's great to have a day 1 Linux realease, after all the struggling the developer had with Linux and its users with The Stanley Parable. Thanks, mate!

I bought The Stanley Parable and it didn't appeal too much to me, so I watched this one in a let's play. Perhaps I shouldn't. While it's still very strange and even less a game than The Stanley Parable, I feel it has more to say, at least to me.

So, consider not watching, but buying it...
