Quoting: ZlopezIf the game is still fun to play without using microtransactions. But usually you want people manipulate to use microtransactions, so you are making things slower without money for longer playing players.

In Path of Exile, you need to pay at least 10-20 bucks to get some more stash space - you don't really need it but you want it, because it's QoL (quality of Life) for the game.
In Last Epoch, you don't have to pay for QoL. In Wolcen, which also works okay-ish on Proton, as well.

Quoting: ZlopezBut PoE is Free to Play so it's understandable that you have microtransactions. Diablo IV and Last Epoch aren't.

Ok, Wolcen is more similar for funding the game - it's just less successful.
Buy "license" for playing, get access - microtransactions for longterm sustainability of the game.

Last time I tried Last Epoch with Linux native, it didn't work good.
But with Proton it's runs pretty well.
I'll install it anyway again, when 1.0 hits the countdown.

Quoting: ZlopezI'm wondering if Last Epoch has actually better monetization than Diablo IV.

Last Epochs monetization is a little bit like PoE.

Is it more like Valheim or like PUBG?
First game i like very much, last game is not my type of tea.

Well, i do understand this dilemma - in terms of MMO or similar games it is okay for me.
MMOs will die eventually and when they do I'm not shedding tears - but I would get nostalgic about it.
I still have my Steam library and my wishlist is not short, but i play most games only once and never touch them again.
But i do keep my backups of my bought games from GOG.

Quoting: SoulprayerHm, was pondering some days ago to buy new CPU, but the 7000 series is getting so hot, I'm always thinking about that gif where this dogs is sitting in fire and says "Its' fine"... I'd say that as well, when my PC is nearly at boiling point of water.

What do you mean? My 7900 with a 65W TDP hardly ever surpasses 60° with a one minute all-core stress test. Perhaps you should add a cpu cooler?

Well, the news is over a year old, maybe the latest models don't have this problem

I have so much to play with Against the Storm, Baldurs Gate 3 and Shadow Gambit that I am really trying to not FOMO my gamelist. :grin:

Valheim and NoMansSky is also good in Co-Op. (Both work well on Proton, Valheim does work native, but on more than 1 screen take Proton)

If you like a good challenge, then try Offworld Trading Company. (Proton Gold)

For local Co-Op I can recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer. (native)
