Still hoping for the Steam Controller 2.0... Probably in vain, unfortunately. I can't stand dual stick controllers. I'm so clumsy with that.

I know I'm being nitpicky, but it would have been nice to see a Ryzen 5 3400G version of this little buddy.

Still, great job Purism!

At least, the grappling hook now works in Batman Arkham Knight. I will probably try a new run to test the other reported bugs, now that the game seems playable.

Edit: Saving game is now working on JC3.

Quoting: ShmerlWill they release their games for normal desktop Linux too, or they'll remain Stadia exclusive? In general, exclusivity is a bad thing.

Its a streaming service, no desktop versions.

Quoting: Xaero_VincentWhen are they just gonna start offering basic subscription tiers? Not everyone wants to spend $129 to get started with Stadia. I don't want a Chromecast Pro nor a Stadia Controller (I already have several controllers).

Sometime in the next few months. There were some scraping updates to the Android app for it, which found mentions of Stadia Pro trials too.

Personally won't touch GeForce Now. To me, Linux means something big, it using Windows servers and no Linux support is a big turn off.

I have an Nvidia Shield and stopped using GFN for this reason. At least, it's probably the best Steam Link app streaming box you may find around. That's how I use it, lately.

Any news on the subject?

Could the game have sold better on Steam and make irrelevant the Epic crap and Valve's 30% cut? We'll never know. Deep Silver may think whatever they like about the outcome of it all.

The real winner is Epic, because it forced users to create an account on their store. They gained a foothold. Now that they "destroyed" the barrier of account creations, exclusivity deals are not as important anymore.

Edit: It might explain why they seem to have switched from exclusivity deals to a freebies model. It's a lot less agressive and has the same effect.

My two cents.

I tought about boycotting the game because of the Epic Store exclusivity, but then I tought: "If sales are bad on steam because of boycott, it's going to be a huge win for Epic. It's much better to support the game on Steam and try to match the sales figures it had on Epic, just to show them that exclusivity stuff is just a useless and bad idea that probably does more harm (bad publicity) than good."

So, I'm going to get the game when the Linux version is out.

Quoting: EikeYou could also say: If you buy it, the publisher will see that the exclusivity deal did pay, and that the rest stills buys it a year later on Steam.

True... But viewed in that angle, there is no stance that we might take, as customers, that will make an impact, at this point. They may twist the facts to their advantages whatever our decision. Still, I hope they learned lessons from the uproar that happened when they pulled the game from Steam.
