Quoting: liamdaweIt will support "cross-play" which is online gaming with Steam titles that support it as well.

I am not sure what this means. Is it now a feature to play PC games online with other PC gamers? :dizzy:

A lot of games on Steam use steam servers, meaning if you had a drm free version with online you wouldn't be able to play together. This means for GOG cross-play games you will be able to.

Oh, like this title [External Link], for example?

Quoting: GOGMultiplayer notice: The DRM free version of Brutal Legend is single-player only.

Does that mean that once Galaxy hits, this particular title and others like it will finally get online multiplayer?

10€ say it won't be native.

50€ say my money will go elsewhere then. I have enough native games to play and support with my money.

Quoting: taylorYou should enforce SSL use on GOL. I only found out the site was available over it by adding https:// to the URL.

You should install this [External Link] so you do not have to do that in the future.

Why only Half-Life: Source and not Half-Life? Is it because one uses Source and the other uses Goldsrc? They look identical. The only difference is physics.

No point in ever starting Half-Life 2 as it constantly improves! :O

Quoting: liamdaweUnvanquished sure is one of the prettiest open source games around isn't it?

Quite right. This makes me wonder why Phoronix hasn't added the game to the Phoronix Test Suite for benchmarking. Is it because the game constantly changes and therefore wouldn't provide a stable means for benchmarking?

Quoting: FutureSutureI have no idea myself. Haven't bought Trine or Trine 2 yet. Ever since I found out that a new Linux client for Trine was being made, I held off from buying either game so that I could play them in chronological order. Considering that this new Linux client should launch fairly soon, why not just play other games until then?

Yeah, I'll probably do that - just wondering. I like to play the series in order they were made, that's why I was holding back on Trine 2 or Metro:LL. But I can imagine that for some games it doesn't matter much, like Crusader Kings II or Left 4 Dead 2 (or does it? ;-).

I am like that too! Deep Silver bringing Metro 2033 satisfies me greatly, much like what Frozenbyte is doing here. There is money to be made, but I always feel the developers and publishers here care about uniformity as well and that I admire.

Quoting: AnonymousThese guys and their games are great. I hope they keep making new games too, and continue supporting Linux.

Frozenbyte is currently working on Splot [External Link] but there is not much information available on the game's webpage so far.

Quoting: pbI have both Trine and Trine 2, but I haven't played either of them so far - should I play them in chronological order (i.e. keep waiting for #1 to get to Steam) or it doesn't matter?
