Quoting: StoneColdSpiderBetter than Mighty No 9????

Yes, but let's be fair, that's not a high bar - getting your eyeball cut out with a rusty soda-can is better than Mighty No. 9, after all. :tongue:

So it will make you cry like an anime fan on prom night?????....... :wink:

Quoting: PenglingI just have to point out that Mega Man 11 is an excellent revival for that series and well worth grabbing at a discount - it works great under Proton.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderI think you need to be looking at the shareholders for why its in the games...... Shareholders have way more influence in what a business does than people seem to want to admit........

Also this might be the conspiracy theory side of me coming out...... But it would be interesting to see who is a publisher shareholder and also a Denuvo shareholder......

Based on what experience?

Working for several large nation wide companies for past 23 years here in Australia.........

The major shareholders almost always have the final say on how the company operates...... The shareholders vote for the Board of Directors (Who vote for the CEO)....... Shareholders also vote on proposed operational alterations such as shifts of corporate aims and goals..... Or fundamental structural changes........ Or Changes to what the company actually does (For example the shareholders could vote for the company to expand from being a just telecommunications company to also being a video game publisher)....... And they can call for a vote to have the Board of Directors fire a CEO.......

So yes they have a lot of say........... If the majority of shareholders say "Put Denuvo in your games......" Then Denuvo WILL be put into the games...... The CEO and the Board are there to implement and run the company the way the majority of shareholders want.....

Quoting: scaineYep, the lack of Denuvo had no appreciable effect on the sales of this title. Glad I was sitting down when that bombshell landed, eh?

Makes me wonder how Denuvo pitch their shitty technology to any big-name studio who wants to do Early Access.

While Denuvo is shitty and I refuse to purchase a game that has it...... I think you need to be looking at the shareholders for why its in the games...... Shareholders have way more influence in what a business does than people seem to want to admit........

Also this might be the conspiracy theory side of me coming out...... But it would be interesting to see who is a publisher shareholder and also a Denuvo shareholder......

Quoting: PenglingI had my first run-in with Denuvo recently - it got added to a game that I was interested in, so then I didn't buy it. It saved me some money, at least.

I have a heap of games in my ignore list on Steam thanks to them having Denuvo.........

I do wish Steam would make peoples ignore lists visible to others....... I dont want a steam friend buying me a game that is on my ignore list....... And I dont want to buy a steam friend a game thats on their ignore list........

As the Gaming on Linux resident Sim Racer........ The only game from the Sim Racing Bundle that I dont own is Drift21....... I will admit I have only played one of them on Linux....... The others I played on Windows some of them even for thousands of hours according to Steam back before my switch top Linux...... I was also using a Logitech G27 wheel.......

Automobilista 2 ....... It seems to be getting better...... But damn was I disappointed by this on release........ Lots of content and stuff not seen in any other sim....... Great value on sale.......

Assetto Corsa Competizione....... If you love boring GT3 cars..... This is the game for you........ If you dont like GT3 cars then avoid....... The force feedback is very poor in this sim...... And only have GT3/GT4 cars.......

Automobilista....... Built on the original rFactor engine...... A really good game and pushes that engine to the limits...... Just like the sequel has a ton of content not seen in any other sim at the time......

Assetto Corsa....... Base content is lacking to say the least....... Mods are where this game excels....... Drives really well and has great force feedback though the wheel..... But you will want to mod the crap out of the game to best out of it.......

rFactor 2...... Probably the best force feedback on this list....... Feels amazing to drive....... But is very much lacking base content and just like Assetto Corsa requires a ton of mods to get the best out of the game...... Also rFactor 2 is now owned by MotorSport Games..........

NASCAR Heat 5....... I have played this one on Linux and it runs great........ Motorsport Games screwed this game though with the release of the Next-Gen Cars DLC..... Which broke all the other DLC....... They "Fixed" it....... BUT BUYER BEWARE......... According to the Steam discussions........ Two of the DLC in the "Ultimate Version" STILL DONT WORK....... As they report that the "Jimmie Johnson Pack" and the "Playoff Pack" STILL are not working....... I cannot confirm this as I rolled back to an old version of the game to get all the the DLC working before the "Fix" happened....... And I have no plans to update to the newest version...... But I fell like this should be mentioned.......

NOT IN THE SALE
While not in the sale..... I will say that WRC 10 runs great on Linux....... As long as you change from DX12 to DX11 in the WRC 10 options menu....... Well worth grabbing during a sale if you are interested in WRC......
