Feels like there's been more and more of these water world games lately. Makes sense, what with climate change and all.

I'm starting to think ill have to start buying things with crypto at some point in the future with the way things are going. As much as I've been against it it might be the only option in the future to have the freedom to purchase what I want.

Really awesome stretch goals. I hope they make them all.

Webcam-based 6DoF head & eye tracking app LookPilot released on Steam

I have a TrackIR so this isn't something I'm interested in. Headtracking is a must for flight and racing Sims IMO. I can see why something like this would be popular as it's more affordable than something like TrackIR, which is hardware based and costs over $100 dollars. I wouldn't choose to use this over TrackIR ever. But glad for people unable, or unwilling to pay for one.

Hunt: Showdown 1896 broken on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to Easy Anti-Cheat

It's kinda funny how it's almost always the shooters that come with these issues. And okay, I get it that while we're not the 1% anymore, but even at 3% market share we're not enough for developers to care about us. But what truly baffles me is that even Windows users are so readily accepting even the most intrusive crap from publishers, just to play yet another shooter. Except for the looks they are all the same anyway (sorry shooter fans, but it's true).
Some of these developers seem to be actually hostile towards Linux and its users. They view us as hackers and criminals. I've gotten that impression from Bungie and Epic for sure. So unless the Linux user base jumps in size to some huge level all of a sudden to where they are forced to make it available to us by the shareholders, then I don't think we'll ever see their games on Linux.

And yeah, It's pretty much been shooters only. I only play single player shooters, so its not been a problem for me. Now, if MMOs start doing this then that will be a different story. I don't know what I'd do if Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft started blocking Linux.

ZOOM Platform also had payment processor issues, say they "have no plans to remove any titles"

Zoom? I didn't know the video chat company was in the game selling business! jk lol
Seriously though, never heard of them until now. Glad they are standing their ground though.

Battlefield 6 will be a unplayable on Linux systems due to the anti-cheat

Good thing I don't play these kinds of games. I haven't played a Battlefield game since Battlefield 2 back in the mid 2000s. The only multiplayer games I play are MMORPGs like WoW, and fortunately I don't know of any that block Linux currently.

Sony sues Tencent over Light of Motiram calling it a "slavish clone" of the Horizon Zero Dawn series

Sony is fortunate that this is such a slam dunk rip-off that it should win, otherwise Tencent would crush Sony in court as they are a far larger company. lol

Super Meat Boy 3D looks fast, tough and enraging in the new gameplay trailer

Meh. Didn't care for the first game, and the character and setting just don't appeal to me whatsoever, so I'll pass on this one.
