Quoting: CJORI love Touhou. Surprised to see this game here, "nobody" knows about this.
On related news today the new official game was released. I don't know if it works on proton.

i know about it ;P
but i didnt tested anything beyond 13 (wich was painfully slow on my computer so i didnt bothered with testing the others relased since then)

kinda awkward having the fan games and not the original, but there are like at least 300 fan games of touhou, and the original games are solo made so we cant expect the developer to port to linux

Quoting: elmapulthe issue is that the public dont want competition, they want convenience at all costs.
people want netflix to be an monopoly so they can sing an single bill and have everything that netflix decides to licence (while ignore that there are a lot of good content unlicenced by netflix), and at the same time they have an single user interface to browser for all the content (lets ignore that its possible to have this by another aproach: separate the content from the presentation, wich is what google tv want to achiev, so you can browser an single ui for the content avaliable on all streaming services)

people want the same convenience on pc gaming, all games in a single user interface, all achievments in a single account, and those steam stickers and other gimmicks on every purchase.

consumers can be quite stupid sometimes, i can understand when an linux user complain that other stores dont support linux at all, the issue is: are we willing to sacrifice everything to push linux foward /keep using it?
backward compatibility is pretty much non existent already.

I personally like to see what I own in one place. I would be really glad, if this was just a frontend that supports thousand of stores and allows you to buy from them, but this means that every store needs to have open API and this will probably never happen.

For now I'm using Steam [External Link] for most of my games, MiniGalaxy [External Link] for GOG games and I actually don't have any idea what I own on Humble Bundle (I'm not buying from it that often, so it's OK for me).

For e-books I'm using Callibre [External Link], still I would be rather to have them somewhere online, so I don't need to bother with storage, with option to download them if I want.

And the situation is much worse for music (where streaming is standard these days) and movies (there is literally no way to buy DRM free movie, which you could play where you want, except indie movies).

So from a consumer perspective if there would be one Callibre like app for games, that just let's you buy from different stores and allows you to manage the game library in one place, it would be awesome. The same for music, movies, books and any other multimedia content you can think of. And if it would be Free Software, that would be just EPIC. Oh the dreams, the sweet dreams :-)

google tv want to do that, i mean, be able to browser the content from netflix, amazon prime etc all in one user interface, maybe even games with gfn, stadia and xbox gamepass...

the difference is that instead of fighting for an open APi they plan to use their market pressure.

Quoting: dubigrasuRichard Geldreich, that guy has a huge chip on his shoulder about Valve, I don't believe a word he's saying. Of course he's siding with Epic.

then you may believe that directX was a good thing...
also, that the earth is flat

Quoting: Protektor

Quoting: elmapulso... the games are licenced? and how the hell they get the licence from nintendo to run games from their catridge formats?

Not every NES or SNES game is owned by Nintendo. So other companies are free to license out their old games to whoever they want and Nintendo can't say a word about it. Nintendo doesn't own the copyright for every NES or SNES game out there.

i'm not talking about the games, but the catridge support.
