From what I understand, it will not be a free to play title

Great!

It will have no single-player campaign

#%!@$, I'm out.

As much as Ken Silverman got his praise for being a prodigy programmer,
I remember being shocked looking at the build engine source.

What an incredible mess. :D

Looks rather fun to me.

And it has a demo on Steam!

I'll give it a try.

Shouldn't it be a great opportunity to bring an old gem to new life
for a new generation of gamers by "just" taking what you already have?
A fantastic story and gameplay.

So take some capable programmers, gifted artist and make this happen.
Don't "add" stuff beyond minor, maybe subtle, things.

Shame on them. *facepalm*

Will it feature a single-player campaign?
Or is it a pure sandbox game?

Very unlikely but a game that I'd love to see on Linux is

Rock of Ages

Is there any realistic estimate on the value of Valve?

Opus Magnum is an exceptional puzzle game available for Linux

I simply love the Zachtronics games.

Only issue I have on Linux is that my notebook is almost melting.
For whatever reason these simplistic games (presentation wise) seem to require a lot of resources on Linux.
At least for my configuration Haswell+integrated graphics.
This is different on Windows for the very same machine.

The Libretro Team and other emulators are being ripped off by companies trying to make a quick buck

Quoting: pbJust today I was pondering on whether GOG, Nightdive and others keen on packaging old games with ScummVM and selling them for a fine buck actually contribute to the project themselves. With lots of new games added to ScummVM recently, I certainly hope so, but somehow I doubt it at the same time...

Fully agree.

It makes them so easy to monetize old products again,
so they should at least contribute a fractional amount
of revenues back to the projects they use.
Otherwise, it might be legal but unethical.

It's not just the great ScummVM.
Also DOSBox.

What else projects, btw?
