A reminder that I rely on Patreon funding to keep GamingOnLinux running

Have you ever thought of opening a key store? People here are complaining the most about getting Linux keys, how to buy it (and when) to make it count as Linux and stuff. It's confusing for a lot of people so why wouldn't you open a store where every sale would count as Linux. So when there is a key in Liam's store it's surely working on Linux and supporting Linux porters/developers. I sure would buy games here with confidence instead of taking the business elsewhere and it would give you some revenue, maybe a lot at some point. I also wouldn't mind game related ads.
We did have one with Games Republic for a time, but they have shut down now. The major problem with this is the time and effort involved with likely little pay-off. It would be a massive undertaking to do my own key store. Not just to get it working, but to get developers to work with me. It's just too much.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI use G2A for to buy Steam Wallet codes for my steam Linux account ...
Because, You know, If you don't spend at least 5 U$D per year, Steam limit your account and you can not even add friends.
No, they don't. That's the limit on a Steam account at the start.

Nonsense. Can Ebay verify that I own and not stole this chair that I am selling?

Its public marketplace.
I'm talking about game keys, electronic content, not furniture. I don't think even ebay should allow Steam keys being resold.

Quoting: FishticonI WAS excited for this but now it just seems like the web-based GDevelop app; which is already there, free, and great.
I don't even see how this is different, other than it costs money and doesn't have a desktop app.
Any time I've tried GDevelop it was gosh darn terrible. The guys at Scirra actually have people making fully-fledged commercial games with Construct 2. It's actually a very good and powerful tool with a good interface. Construct 3 seems to be even better, and we get support, so what's not to love?

This is why I personally prefer itch.io, as they have such clear, open and honest communication.
