What? A ghost car? Where are the drivers?
Great visuals, a custom engine (not common nowadays) and explicit linux support.
I'm interested

Quoting: crabelWhy not just sudo apt-get install beneath-a-steel-sky ?

Not everyone uses *buntu :-)

I played free on suse many years ago, and it could be installed with the package manager (I don't remember the name).

Great game

Spoiler, click me

pacman -S bass

I love graphical adentures. Revolution does make great games, and "beneath a steel sky" was one of the first games I played on linux (scummvm), so, yes, I will buy it.

This update is for everyone or for who has the dlc already? Will we have this fixes if we have the base game?

Quoting: LinasI really don't get this RGB trend. All the blinking lights is a distraction and totally breaks the immersion. But better support is always welcome, because it means that I can turn the blinking lights off. :D

I think the same. RGB lights are anti-gaming. It distracts from the action, it makes you worse, it's more expensive, and sometimes it decrises the performance.
I saw a video a sdd drive with lights that were so hot, that made the drive unusable (the chips has a minimum and maximum temperature).

Anyone knows if this company sells computers to Europe (with the power supply and an non us keyboard layout)?
I do not need a laptop now, but I would consider it for the next one.

Quoting: jordicomaI remember 3 o 4 years ago, I manage to make rune and simcity 3000 to run with some tweeks (on nvidia graphics card). But it's meant to happen on old hardware. When you change apis, you break compatibility.
We have 2 options. Never remove apis or make a wrapper.

ps: I just tested, simcity 3000 still works.

Would a flatpak or snap package do for a wrapper?

I don't know, I don't use flatpaks. But I think probably it can solve something, but probably not all problems.
I'm sure flatpaks also needs some technologies and if it changes, probably cannot work.
I would like to see if someone manages to make one of this games run on modern computers with a flatpak.

How do I refund it?

Playing on linux is cheating, we don't have the slow downs, hangs, random crashes, and auto reboots for the updates that the windows gamers has.
I don't like the current way that made multiplayer games, but its a shame that they are not able to detect properly if someone is cheating or not.
The next step is forcing to have x.y.z version installed with y.z hardware to be able to play. They should put a warning before buying a game like this.
