Quoting: HoriThat's not a solution. Devs shouldn't HAVE to sell their games on every single store out there in order to combat piracy...
You didn't get the point. It's not about "combating piracy", it's about reaching more people who are actually interested in their games.
Me being one of them, there are a lot of games that I haven't bought yet because they are only available through Steam. These "pirates" are doing a service .. or at the very least, a protest.
Seriously? What a crazy way to think. This isn't a protest, they are not provoding a service to anyone, it's completely ripping off hard working games developers.

You cannot just tell developers to put their games on every store they come across. That's utterly idiotic. Every store adds more cost in time for support, patching and so on. Most smaller stores might not even have the reach required in users to fet a game to hit a payout. It is not even close to a solution.

Fully aware it's not new, that's part of the point and the text of the article :)

Quoting: Ehvis"The problem" is not valid anymore.
Yes, it is. It's still a problem, it has not been fixed.

I think he already knows about the wiki.
Yeah he's aware of it.

Albion Online beta now closed to prepare for release, starter packs now ready for purchase

Quoting: Trumpis there a monthly sub or just a one time payment? the packs description doesnt make it very clear.
You pay once, but you can optionally continue a premium status afterwards for slightly more resource gain and that sort of thing.

IMO it balances out any premium subs fine, since anything you buy would be player made - so everything goes back into it. I should also clarify, you cannot buy your way to the top in any way. You still need to play the game to get through the fame board to use anything.

Quoting: 14I almost bought a Founder Pack but decided to wait since I only play MMO's in the Winter and I didn't want to waste my month of premium. If the month of premium was a code I could save and use later, I may have bought it, but those details are not on the site. I didn't want to risk it.

Been watching the game for a long time but I'm not a heavy PvP player. I will be very interested in reviews.
From what I remember, your premium time doesn't start until you make your character.

Golf for Workgroups is a very weird golf game that's now on Linux

Quoting: liamdaweI'm going to be honest, I didn't really get it.
That's reassuring because I didn't get it either. Though rocket powered golf carts do look fun ... maybe they should just make a game about those and leave off any actual golfing. The golf carts could have golf ball Gatling guns and golf-tee mini-missles or something.
The carts are the bit I don't get the most. Why go through the trouble of making a golf game, where the arm is simulated so you control the swing...to put in carts with rockets? It literally makes no sense to me. What is the game trying to be?
