Quoting: EikeThere are still multiple years during which I might want to play again and was promised that I could. Also microsoft grrrr, of course.Quoting: gaboverstaYou didn't play anymore, but now you're angry you couldn't? I can relate! Didn't mean to make you angry. :)Quoting: EikeWell now I am angry.Quoting: gaboverstaI still remember many years ago when I bought Age of Empires 3 with both DLC on physical disc.

Even back then I was shocked by the possibility of some day not being able to play just the online multiplayer anymore, more than a decade in the future. The game itself and local multiplayer would still work and yet young me realized that having the thing I bought with my money being downgraded later was bad.

Oh no, the download button and shell script wrapper can no longer be trusted to handle my login credentials, if only there was something I could do about it, like, say, just not use it.
On a more serious note, I have not found myself using Lutris or tools like it (Heroic) in ages. As a library to launch titles from they don't work for me because the design does not suit my taste (trying really hard not to be mean to people who like to have their entire screen being taken up by rounded corners here). As a place to download the installers through they don't work for me because my accounts keep being logged out. As a tool to handle the configuration to make a game actually playable they don't work for me because the scripts, if present at all, keep being outdated or specific to some hard- or software I don't have -> simply don't work. As a tool to manage Linux native games they add no value for me as I still have to manually reinstall dependencies after a SteamOS update. And finally, even the add to Steam button doesn't work reliably.
More trouble than it's worth. Also grrrrr, AI!

No specific launch timings or pricing has been announced yet.I was ready to order a steam controller right now, since my original one got ruined by leaking batteries.

Multiplayer save games sound like the most important change. This should make multiplayer games on flaky network connections feasible. Will definitely try out!
