Quoting: GuestWadjet Eye never really supported Linux, their ports were unplayable.

Blame the engine. Poor old AGS simply isn't very portable. Although unplayable is a bit harsh. The ones I have from GOG work just fine.

I just skimmed the trailer, but I'm getting a definite Thimbleweed Park vibe. Which is not a bad thing at all.

Quoting: tuubiBought it.
Note that if you're in the EU at least, $2 is the price without VAT. (...)
I paid 2.48€ in the end. Of course that's still really cheap if the game is up your alley. I believe I'm going to enjoy Flux Caves, although I've got so much on my plate that I doubt I'll play it until it's properly finished.

Am I know this isn't a solution, but as I write on the itch.io site: Everyone who buy the game on itch.io, will get a steam key after the steam release, around May-June. Hope it makes this litle uncomforted feeling better :)

I actually like Itch.io despite this minor issue and of course I'm not blaming you. I do appreciate getting a steam key as well though. :)

Bought it.

Note that if you're in the EU at least, $2 is the price without VAT. Due to the way Itch.io and some other smaller stores deal with the whole EU VAT MOSS process, there doesn't seem to be a way to see the final price until a couple of steps into the checkout process. I'd be so much happier if I could just set my country in the preferences and see prices with tax in Itch.io listings and game pages.

Quoting: scaineIn 6 years of using Steam, I've only had one game fail to launch (Little Racers Street). It was incredibly common on Desura - in fact it was a key reason I never really used that platform. I'll be gutted if this becomes a theme on Itch.

Itch does not check the quality of releases on the platform (nor does it have the resources to do so). It kind of makes sense, as they want the platform to be open to more than just games or software. It's an open sales and publication platform for indies (as in independent artists, not just self-published games) and hobbyists and game jams et cetera as much as it is a game store. Of course this has drawbacks if you want to put it on the same line as some competing services.

My opinion is that we need Itch. It fills a niche Steam or GOG never could. It's likely that you'll always find some broken or abandoned stuff on Itch, but I don't see how that could be solved without essentially downgrading the service in the process.

Why doesn't Hitman GO show the Tux icon on Humble? I had to make sure before I bought it, but it definitely sports the SteamOS icon in the Steam store. Lara Croft GO was a decent diversion, I'm hoping for more of the same.

I also bought that Deus Ex game everybody used to rave about back when my GPU (and my wallet) were neither able nor willing.

I'm ready when you are, Feral. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is another one I'm excited for.

Quoting: subWhy not Dirt Rally 2.0?

Is Codemasters against a simultaneous Linux release?

I haven't given up hope yet. Doesn't have to be now, as long as it's coming.

Quoting: scaineMS fanbois desperate to re-enforce their Helsinki syndrome.

I think you mean Stockholm syndrome. They're our neighbours, but they can keep their icky syndromes.

Quoting: GustyGhostI remember trying this one when it was still called "Leaving Lyndow". An absolutely gorgeous game. It looks like they've added a bunch of new areas since then.

Leaving Lyndow is actually "a short, first-person exploration adventure game, set in the Eastshade universe" to quote their website. The game is still available, but it's only officially supported on Windows and Mac.

Brave or impatient?
