Quoting: zikzakDoes it require Steam? It seems so but the website is not very clear about it.

No it does not.

Quoting: Colombo

The examples you gave are completely different issues.

Have you thought for a while, just a tiny second, that the examples were given to invalidate something completely different and not if certain practice is pro-customer or anti-customer?

I give up with you <_<

If you seriously don't understand why this is bad practice, then to be frank, you're part of the problem.

Releasing a game DRM free as promised, then pulling the rug from under customers in the form of not giving them prompt updates, DLC and online features is bollacks. Claiming it's not possible for them to do it I also still claim is bollacks. They just don't want to say the real reasoning, that's all it is.

This exactly.

To call us bitching and nonsensical when you don't even understand the issue at hand is really quite dumb.

Beg me pardon, but where exactly did I showed that I don't understand the issue at hand?

Publisher/dev stopped supporting specific platform. This happens quite more often.

The examples you gave are completely different issues.

Armello is already on GOG and still is being sold on GOG, and the developers refuse to support certain features on it.

Your examples are developers who just don't have their games on the store. Again, completely different and it seems you don't get the issue, hopefully you do now.

Quoting: scaineAnd back on topic - what a save at 2m 20, Liam! Magic!

That was one of those squeaky arse, sweating everywhere moments.

Truly a nerve wracking game.

Quoting: ColomboSo why are people bitching about the last example even here? I thought that here is bit more intelligent community. But rather than intelligent posts, all I read here is just nonsensical bitching with make up reasons why it should be easy.

It's because the (support for the) DRM-free version got degraded after it was sold.

This exactly.

To call us bitching and nonsensical when you don't even understand the issue at hand is really quite dumb.

There's a massive difference to not supporting GOG, to having a version on GOG with official support and then suddenly do shit like this.

Edit: Spelling.

Quoting: TuxeeOh dear... If it wasn't for GOL i'd never notice games ported to Linux at a later date.
Unless you explicitly search for "Rogue Stormers" on Steam, you won't notice its availabilty since it first appeared months ago for other platforms. Valve - are doing this deliberately?

We have a secret pact for them to never fix it so that people come to GOL for news ;)

It's from the same developer who made 'Redshirt', which is not available for Linux.

Say what? [External Link]

Say what again? [External Link]

Linux gaming doesn't start and end on Steam, my friend.

My bad, I checked their official site, Steam and our site for an article on it so I thought that would have been enough.

Quoting: leillo1975.....great game, finally I could play it with my daughter. One Question, can I play in two computers with only Steam Account in local? Can I play in Linux and my daughter in Window$?

That's LAN, this is local co-op (same computer).

Added an additional note:

It turns out the port was done by both Ryan "Icculus" Gordon (mr porter man) and Timothee Besset (previously worked for id software).

Quoting: numasanThis game is very addicting! Very fun gameplay - classic "easy to learn, hard to master".
I also experience the crash to desktop, but only randomly when changing map (single player). Played 4 maps online with no crashes between matches. Do the Steam client or game send back a crash-report?

Not usually no, but they are aware of the issue.
