Quoting: rapakivBut I never seen so much hate in GOL as in this thread, relax, life is short, enjoy it
Hate? Really?! What bemuses me about this discussion actually is that the reaction is more extreme than the dislike of the actual developer. I don't really have a dog in this fight.
Really? What boggles my mind is that all the negativity comes from people that don't have a dog on this fight. The people that actually do play the game are understanding and sympathetic to the dev's decision, go figure...
Hrm. First, I notice you've redefined how I was using that phrase, such that your comment probably would have been better as a standalone than a reply to me.
Second, really? Have you been reading the same thread I have? I'd say it's pretty clear that some of the people who are bothered are in fact people who play the game. Others aren't, but your point is simply wrong. Also meant to be snide, far as I can tell. You can contribute to or detract from a conversation in two ways, content or tone; pity you chose to subtract on both fronts.
I've been very much reading the same thread, I believe, and the comment wasn't meant to be snide. It's really my take on this thread.

I replied to you because I do agree with you about this being an extreme reaction but that's not really what I find surprising at all, it's the people that don't seem to have the game(or if they have it they don't mention it anywhere) and the ones that were planning to buy it(which they still can), that are behind this extremism.

In hindsight I should have expanded on the "go figure...", what I meant by it was that those who have mentioned playing it actively are aware of the issues and thus have a better understanding of things, that's why they aren't crying bloody murder, unlike mostly everyone else.

PS: This whole reaction also started before the devs had a chance to comment on this.

I have almost 900h on this game so this news is unfortunate, and I haven't experienced nearly the amount of trouble people complain about but then again my distro is not bleeding edge and is a few versions behind on both GNOME(3.22) and Nvidia drivers(390.67), so facepunch is not solely to blame for those issues.

The HITMAN: Summer Pack lets you download and play Episode 3 for a limited time

Quoting: wolfyrionTo install it you simply type at your browser (at address bar) --> steam://install/440930 [External Link]
I think that it will work or you can go to --> https://steamdb.info/app/440930/ [External Link] and press Install
That works but still doesn't invalidate my previous posts.
I'll take that back. It downloads but doesn't install, the content is locked.

Quoting: liamdaweThere's a play for free button on the main store page (i own it all and see it) - what happens if you press that?
It just launches the game that's all because the game is already installed, doesn't download anything or add anything to the owned DLC list.

Quoting: GuestAfter playing episode 1 and 2 for free, I wanted to buy the remaining episodes. But it seems like you can't buy specific episodes for Linux. Or did I miss something?
You can. The list is here: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/4854/HITMAN__Game_of_The_Year_Edition/ [External Link]

When companies bundle stuff up, you need to hit the Bundle Info button on the store page, which gives you the individual list.
I have the first two episodes that I got for free, there's no option to get the third episode for free or to buy an individual episode for that matter, I'm always directed to the episode bundles with nothing else I can add to the cart.




As you can see clearly below, I'm on the episode page and the only options to purchase are the bundles.

I can confirm I'm also not seeing specific episodes available for purchase on steam, neither on the steam links opened on the in-game storefront.

Third-person shooter with Battle Royale modes 'Crazy Justice' to launch towards the end of this month
16 Jul 2018 at 3:40 pm UTC

Quoting: liamdaweIt's strange how people assume Fortnite was the first to do cartoony graphics, or the first to do Battle Royale...
As Apple has proved time and again, you just need to be the one to popularise it.

Quoting: liamdaweI don't agree with the lawsuit of PUBG vs Fortnite, but it's very clear Fortnite copied the core gameplay from PUBG.
And PUBG copied the core gameplay from H1Z1

Quoting: liamdaweAs for Crazy Justice, it still seems quite different and unique. Characters have skills, you can build but not destroy buildings and different game modes - battle royale with skills is supposed to be just one of them.
You can say the same about Fortnite in relation to PUBG and this is also true in relation to Crazy Justice as BR is only one of the game modes.
