Quoting: williamjcm25.3.0/1 had a bug that forced me to downgrade to 25.2.7 if I wanted to use SteamVR, so let's hope that one's fixed too.

Also had to do the same thing here. Not in 25.3.2 but it looks like there's a Merge Request open with a fix!

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/836#issuecomment-3665458999 [External Link] -> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/38987 [External Link]

Yup, that's the issue I ran into. Well, I guess I'll keep my Mesa packages pinned a bit longer, even though Arch doesn't like partial upgrades.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer (I beat it and started a NG+ run), Blood Refreshed Supply, Chasm, Xuan-Yuan Sword 7, Halls of Torment, Yet Another Zombie Survivors, and I went back to Earth Defense Force 5 too. And that's just the PC games.

Bit of a shame RWS cancelled the project entirely, instead of asking another studio. For example, the studio behind Vampire Hunters could have been a decent fit.

Quoting: Petethegoatthey are not good for developers in the same way they are good for consumers - especially smaller developers who do not get to negotiate down the 30% cut.

Which developers get to negoatiate the cut?!

None. To my knowledge, the only way to bring the cut down is to reach revenue thresholds: 10M$ lowers a game's cut to 25%, and 50M$ lowers it to 20%.

I've played a lot of House of Necrosis last month, and some Tokyo Xtreme Racer this month.

Oh, and I've been playtesting the next major update for Project Silverfish.

I prefer to install from the offline installers myself.

The offline installers are fine-ish, but in some cases, they can lag behind the game versions available in Galaxy (or alternate clients like Heroic, obviously).

For example, as of this writing, the offline installer for I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is still shipping the ScummVM release and not the newer Unity release from 12 days ago.

IMO, GOG's preservation efforts are kinda lacking. Having games be playable is fine, but having them play *well* is another, and GOG hasn't done much on that front.

Most DOS games still use an old DOSBox version from more than a decade ago instead of DOSBox Staging, GOG doesn't ship things like community fixes that are pretty much *essential* to getting rid of major issues, they completely ignore the Steam Deck and Linux gaming in general (for some time, it was impossible to run their release of the Resident Evil trilogy on Linux, and while it's possible now, it's most likely thanks to the efforts of Wine/Proton contributors), etc...

If you already own Atelier Ryza games on Steam will there be an upgrade path? Or are we expected to buy the games again?

Seems it'll be the latter. Koei Tecmo moment, I guess.

I don't remember the details, but they claimed that they were not allowed to finish it.

Yeah. Not only did Atari make Nightdive's job harder by refusing to give access to Blood's source code back then (they have access to it now, though), they even pulled the licence around a year after Fresh Supply's release.

Whut? Why not just update the existing thing instead of making a new release?

Because Atari and/or Warner Bros.
