Quoting: sarmadKeep in mind that "globally" doesn't actually mean globally since the Steam Deck isn't selling in every territory, with big markets still left out.

So the place it had is even more amazing...

Quoting: fleskLooks interesting, and so does their previous game, which I hadn't heard of before I read this article.

To be honest, I found the previous one... bland.

There also was one specific thing I disliked: I'm not overly happy to be taught by a game to dump waste in the bin. The cause is fine, but... no. But am I really supposed to do that when I need to rescue somebody urgently?!?

Quoting: F.UltraHere in Sweden the music producers managed to keep this tax going to modern media so they get a cut of external HDD:s, cell phones and SD cards.

For some seconds, I thought you'd be able to close this nicely.

Quoting: Purple Library Guyand Germany's not doing well because of expensive/scarce natural gas due to geopolitical reasons

... which we're depending on more than we should.

But I found these GNP numbers:
2022 +1.9
Q1 23 -0,1
Q2 23 0,0
Predicted 23 -0,4
Predicted 24 +1,4
Predicted 25 +1,2

So I've got hopes we don't bring trouble to (gaming) world economy. ;-)

Back in the late nineties, a customer of the little company I worked for called: He asked us to write the bill now, so he could pay us at last. Those were the days, my friend!

Quoting: GuestI hate the people saying "Who cares about FIFA/overpriced overmade game" etc. Its not about that you fools - it doesn't matter if you don't like the game due to some deluded conception of privacy or whatever.

Stopped reading here. I propose not to devalue other people's ideas (or the people themselves) - especially if it's not really what you want to talk about.

Quoting: ljrkThat is indeed true! I just wanted to assert that "no wonder this breaks if you sandbox it" has little ground for argument if even the official Steam runtime uses sandboxing to increase portability ^^

It seems it wasn't the problem for CS2, but I do see people in the Steam forums from time to time who have problems they can solved by installing the native/pure/you-know-what-I-mean package. Often accessing other files/discs, but I think it also included sound. Sandboxes can sandbox stuff away you want. I'd bet Steam's Linux Runtime is built in a way that doesn't.

Quoting: ljrkFurthermore, the same sandbox tech that Flatpak uses (bubblewrap) is also employed by the Steam Linux Runtime... so the game runs sandboxed, no matter what.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that you do not need to use the Linux Runtime.

Quoting: lejimsterEdit: that's a shame if they've given up their engine and native support for this release. I wonder if the Linux programmers have left? I still will buy, but that is disappointing to hear if the person above is correct.

I think it was only one programmer and he left for Stadia.

I guess in this case he's got time again now...
