being coder my self, all i can say is "leave it to random wanna-be coder to be clueless as fsck, as long as it works..."

i lost so many nerves when talking about specs with coders in our company or friends i know... and it always ends up with "who has the time to study this?"

although .config and .local shouldn't be counted here.
.config is legit location for preferences
.local is legit location for save files
the problematic ones are games that just store into random location outside those 2, like in home or Documents

i'm more interested in what happened with Topware and their "pushing 30 titles". even Raven's cry is not specifying linux version on steam, even though official site clearly says it should.

wasn't it VP that ported that to mac?

Quoting: DCentOne question: Dead Island has been indexed in Germany and so I can't buy it on Steam. However, if I buy a Steam code at another shop and redeem it for my account, will I be able to play it in my country?

hope this helps.

somehow, Dark Souls 1 is not available when I access trough Steam to buy it. bought steam version on GMG and steam didn't have any problems with that. DS is available in my library as any other game

Quoting: GoCorinthiansSTEAM FTW!

i like how they push linux but the idea of steam within gnu/linux is perverting the actual idea of free software. what we trade here is freedom for convenience and the sole reason i go along with it is that i hope when steam dies off one day (and it will, all does eventually) it will have pushed linux a little. whenever i can i buy my games in DRM free fashion and dodge steam like the plague. i like what they do to push the developement of linux but still i see it as a trade with the devil.

there is no trade with the devil you speak of. in order for linux to grow it has to get acceptance of commercial software. as simple as that.

if developer of app A won't write linux version of his software, company that depends on it can never move on linux. that probably means that developer of app B will never see reason to write his own app for linux. every little push matters.

what you preach is false religion that only hurts linux adoption. as long as you can avoid closed software or at least securely contain it when you can't avoid it. free or commercial doesn't matter as long as you're the one deciding

can't wait for full game and i don't even like point'n'click adventures. I ended up trying 1 out of pure boredom and darn thing was so funny that i couldn't stop until i reached the end.

the fact that p'n'c hater finished game in 1 session says it all ;)

for me it is simple. hate mac and windows are completely useless for my needs. consoles are way too expensive in the long run. ooohhh, and i love linux to the point where even trying to imagine my self using anything else ends up with huge headache

i think they should make a thread on /r/linux_gaming. lots more people there

Quoting: GoCorinthiansdamn great game, still not waiting until linux port arrives...to hyped for it(lmao)...later buying it again at most to suport linux numbers!

"looking into it" is usually bait for sales like yours in 90%. i'll buy it when it is native, not a day sooner

Quoting: nlla

Quoting: vulturethey are working on episode 2, not on extending this one.

Yeah, and those who bought the first episode will get the second one for free, so for all practical purposes it's about the same thing.

ok, that's awesome. even 1 only was more than worth its money.

Quoting: nllaI've been waiting for this game release since it has been greenlighted. Old school survival horror is my favorite genre, so the only criticism about Dreadout that could dissuade me from buying it is that it's too short. The developers are reportedly already working on it, so it's definitely in my buying list!

they are working on episode 2, not on extending this one.
