Quoting: iskaputtCan this be bought on steam and then played without the steam client? Nothing 32-bits to ever touch my system.
Why would you then buy it on Steam? The Humble Bundle Store has the game, and I assume it is downloadable without Steam (it usually is).

Otherwise you can use alternatives to Steam, like itch or Lutris or some other that supports 64-bit natively.
No, Humble only has Steam keys for this game, you can see this clearly by the Steam logo with the platform icons inside the badge.

Ballistic Overkill is Steam-only game.

Quoting: HollowSoldierThe next big thing will be everyone calling Linux (distros) an RTS OS. What's the last time a non-RTS game was released. Deus Ex maybe? (Indies don't count.)
Having a few Total War games doesn't suddenly remove all the other fantastic games we do have you know? Even just going by Feral, we're talking four games out of how many they ported now? Like it or not, they obviously sell well or they wouldn't keep porting them.

Also, why don't indies count exactly? There's masses of truly fantastic indie games on our platform.

Quoting: GuestAny word on Vulkan?
Nope, all we have is the announcement. Very doubtful for such an old title though, doubt it would be worth it.

I think the whole gender discussion would probably fit better on The Forum, don't you guys? ;)

Quoting: lagh@liam: Have you actually been in contact with the developers?
How do they justify this behaviour?
As noted:
I've sent an email to the developer to see if we can get this cleared up, as I never like to outright not support a small developer, but nothing sounds good here right now.

Quoting: GoLBuzzkillTalking about Steam crap, I miss overly optimistic Steam survey articles :(
I don't really do them since:
A) not a lot changes
B) some people, like you, don't seem to like it when I am optimistic about things. Take a look at your comments on the "steam has 3k linux games" article as an example
Quoting: Alm888Eeww... What does Steam-link have to do with Linux?
Plenty actually. It requires a PC to use, like a Linux PC.

Cossacks 3 may be closer to a Linux release

Quoting: GuestWhat?
It should not be up to driver developers to optimize for each game.
