And now I have to buy it, not least because they made a Polish camouflage pack for some reason, not that I'm complaining.

It looks very cool. I need to dig up my Thrustmaster HOTAS set. I wonder if it'll work with Linux. I will certainly need to get a joystick port to usb adapter.

Quoting: Hori

Quoting: GuestCan we as Linux users forget about "piracy"? Illegal downloading is not equal to taking a ship violently (and likely killing everybody/taking hostage on board)! I really don't like that we still use the Microsoft (Ballmer/Gates) lingo.

About the above method: why not buy on GOG directly then? I "bought" (khm. they offered freely) Torchlight I, and it works through Wine.

The term piracy was invented because browsing the internet was called in the past as "Navigating the web", or similar things. Who are the "thieves" who navigate? The pirates. Hence, internet piracy.

The term piracy as pertains to copyright infringement has been in use long before the internet came about. Some 400 years before.

Pretty bizarre move, I can't see how someone at Atlus/Sega thought this would be of any benefit to them. And they publish/make such good games, too.

They don't list LLVM on their compiling page, so maybe it's just that no-one is doing any work to make it compatible?

I just bought the game from GOG to support the developer. I am glad things have worked out for them.

I played one of the Realms of Arkania games back in the day (Shadows over Riva) and I liked it very much. I got the Blade of Destiny remake off Steam a few years back and it was a horrible, broken mess, looking terrible and running at sub-20 fps on my rig. I hope this one's better.

GOG still has the 426 build posted, the same that's been there for the past couple of months, IIRC. Will I find the story unlocked when I get back home, I wonder?

Good tip, thanks. Just the other day I was wondering why I had no mouse problems on my account when another user on the same computer did.

Wishing someone to die or the like is never ever an appropriate reaction to anything that might happen in a relation between people pertaining to a digital product. It's completely unacceptable no matter the built-up expectation, the amount of money paid, time spent waiting or whatever.

Companies are made of people and while most decisions tend to be made based on objective grounds, emotions do play a role.

If 100 Windows users send a developer death threats, they will grow tougher skin, wish they could tell them to fuck themselves but try to ignore the hate and keep on working on their game hoping other non-hate-spewing people will buy it.

When 100 Linux users send a developer death threats, they'll do what they wished they could do to the Windows people: say screw you fuckers, I won't release my game for you. Lots of satisfaction ensues, with very little (if any) financial consequence.

Also:

My son of 13 is currently playing TW2 bought on GOG

Are you sure that's a sound decision?

And:

And here's why we can't have nice things.

The reward I get for my money is this website. I don't need anything more. Except, of course, all the games it makes me buy. I WANT THEM ALL.

I considered pledging $8 to get the key e-mails, but whenever I got any in the past they were all taken by the time I saw the e-mail. Even the one time I saw it 15 minutes after it was sent. So screw that. ;-)

Oh, and with the VAT over here, I pay $6.15. SO SCREW YOU WITH YOUR LOW VAT. ;-)
