The itch.io charity bundle hits over $4 million and now over 1,500 items inside

Quoting: brokeassbenI had multi-factor authentication enabled on my account, wiped the phone with the authenticator on it, and can't find my backup codes. So my itch.io account is now lost forever :(
I imagine if you email them, with some kind of proof, they would be quite reasonable about it. You must have some emails somewhere from itch you can dig up to prove ownership.

Have removed some recent comments. Please keep things calm, civil and be nice to each other.

There's plenty of topics of discussion and debate here that are valid, but some people have been taking it into weird and gross directions that should have been left at the door. If people keep coming to comment, and do things like making it clear they're not interested in discussion and basically just "comment-drop" and such then we will have to lock the comments and warn people on their behaviour here. Please read the rules.

Chat can continue as long as people understand the above. Please don't quote this and attempt to carry on previous issues.

Quoting: hornedfiendhowever if you're playing early access titles or epic store games, you'd have to keep using dual-boot solutions or gpu pass through, which is bit of a pain.
Not sure what exactly you mean but Early Access is no different on Linux to Windows, it all depends on per-game support as always. As for Epic Store, you can try Lutris [External Link] and Legendary.

@einherjar, I honestly can't tell if you're trolling at this point to cause a fuss or just terribly ignorant. I would urge you to go read up on some history of why Pride is an event. As others have pointed out already, very clearly, there's serious reasons why it exists.

Quoting: ZlopezSo if I am white heterosexual I can celebrate the pride month?
Why wouldn't you?
Because I didn't saw anyone in the LGBT... happy, if I say I'm proud white heterosexual. For them I'm racist embracing the culture of enslavers, or at least this is what I see in most media today. People being banned or have to resign from organizations if they take this stance.

But I don't need any special month to be proud about myself. For me it's funny that somebody even needs this :-)
Nobody gets banned for being hetero or white. They might get banned for treating others like shit, but, what's more likely is to get banned because you're *not* hetero or white.

And that's why we need things like these. It's not because of queer people, it's because of homo and transphobia. It's not about saying "I'm homosexual", it's about saying "homophobia has no place here".
Exactly and GOL is a place for everyone if they can show respect for others. I pride myself on (for the most part) having a community that treats others well. I myself am a straight white male, yet I've been to Pride events with friends, it's an awesome welcoming atmosphere.

Yes, we wrote about their latest here.

..how in relation to DRM-free gaming that "98-99% of players don't care"
But it's true. Does anyone disagree?
If anyone agrees with DRM, they're insane. That's actively being okay with your rights being diminished. Convenience is a whole different argument remember, that should be entirely separate. There's also a big difference between not caring and not actually understanding how shite some DRM really is.

itch.io has a huge bundle going to support 'Racial Justice and Equality'

The comments have been cleaned up, again.

As stated earlier, there's no room for inflammatory comments or racism here. There is a clear link to our rules above the comments box I suggest everyone familiarise themselves with and we do moderate. If people post stuff that's clearly aimed to antagonise then do not quote them! Report them by hitting the flag icon and leave them. You make our jobs harder when you keep quoting such comments.

Quoting: dpanterA bit bummed that the bundle lacks integration with the itch.io client. :/
Last I heard the client was going through an overhaul, so perhaps it will come later.
