Desperados III sees a second DLC episode of Money for the Vultures

Quoting: ShmerlIt's inappropriate to say that it's something good. GOG aren't supporting Linux well, I agree. But the whole situation is bad.
Well yes, in an ideal world I agree that they should support Linux.

However their love for Linux is matching that of EA, so I'm not surprised by these moves.

That Linux developers do not make it a priority to publish Linux games to a Linux unfriendly site makes sense even if it is unfortunate.

Sounds like what Windows users say when developers make it for Windows only. No, it isn't good. And coming from Linux users is doubly inappropriate.
I don't see how it's "inappropriate" to point out that gog's been so bad for so long that you can't expect anything.

I have hundreds of games on GOG and I have been waiting for YEARS for galaxy for Linux as promised. Now I login so seldom that I'm triggering email verification every time. They also dropped the announced witcher 3 for Linux, and cp2077 isn't coming, why would I give them any slack?

Quoting: ShmerlToo bad developers simply decided to ignore GOG Linux users. This also seems to be the case with Blasphemous and Talos Principle which is becoming a very irritating trend.

How and where ? :shock: not related to the Atari but I'm really curious about this one, I want one :woot:

You beat me to it. It's kind of wonky to order one, you sign up on their page, but you won't get an email from them until they're ready for you to pay for your order. Would be nice if they could get enough stock in ship them out as they're ordered. I think it was 3-4 months for mine? They did say they'll ship it out next week, so I'm guessing I'll have the V4SA before the Atari VCS. I do already have a V2 500 in my 500+ with Checkmate 1500 case. It's a pretty sweet setup, just missing the AGA support!
I've been thinking about this myself, is it worth it to get the non-standalone?

I have a600, a1200, a500, a500+, cd32 and an a4000.
I really wanted them to come out with one for the A4000 (I have two A4ks and an A500+) I bout the A500+ mainly to check out the Vampire, and it's pretty awesome there, and would probably be my goto Amiga, except that it doesn't do AGA yet.

I wanted to replace the A3660 with a Vampire, as that is my Video Toaster version, and the 080 would be sweet there! My other A4000 is my overly expensive one with the PPC in it.

If you don't already have an accelerator / RTG in your A1200, I'd probably get one for that, as it'd be 'more Amiga' to me. But then as you already have all of those, may as well have the 'New Amiga' and get the stand alone :)

I'll let you know how mine is when I get it!
Cool, looking forward to hearing about it. 👍

Life is strange was too long, drawn out and boring.
If this is similar I don't recommend.

I've read that, at least the g920, has full support, including force feedback.

I have the g920 myself, any game in particular you want to play? If I have it I can test it for you.
