Quoting: kfI really hope it's something other than Tomb Raider. The first one was alright, if a bit generic, and the second one was the same game just not as good.

I love the TR games, though that's pretty much how I feel regarding most of their TW and racing port announcements.

Quoting: mishugashuHow disappointing. Why do they expect the chicken to come before the egg? If everyone supported Linux, Linux would be a much larger target audience. I can't even imagine how many potential Linux gamers are playing on Windows because of the lack of support.

They don't expect anything. They just don't see any reason in currently supporting linux.
Most game publishers only care about maximizing profit and will therefore only listen to monetary potential. And that's fine, they're running companies after all. Some of them care about pleasing their (tobe-)customers or wish to improve their image in any way possible, but they're certainly not the majority.

The people/companies who build game engines may often be even more impersonal towards players as they don't always create or publish games themselves and only have to please game devs enough to use their product.

Lack of linux support may turn away certain devs, but not every dev, linux-friendl or not, considers linux support to be a top priority and therefore some of them will probably often sacrifice linux builds in order to work with the game engine they need/want.

There's definitely some long term gain to be made, but there's little to lose in waiting at this point (it's not as if they'd be one of the first linux friendly engines) and that kinda counters things.

I continue to have high hopes for linux gaming, but I understand why companies may sometimes be reluctant to support it.

Quoting: predator8bitI just used my key which I got through a prior Humble Bundle and it let me connect the 'brand new game'.

I'm not sure what you meant by this tbh.

What I said was you have to have bought the game 14(?) days before it shows up on connect in order to redeem it and therefore you can't just buy stuff that shows up on connect from steam sales and redeem.

I think that restriction wasn't always there either so in case you meant you had previously purchased a different game through humble and instantly redeemed that would be understandable too.

Quoting: LumumbaSo one could buy it on steam, claim it from gog and then refund it on steam?

iirc you have to have purchased the game 14 days in advance to be able to redeem a game through Connect, and with "connectable" games changing over time I assume it would be pretty hard to pull such a thing off intentionally.

Quoting: GuestWhen this connect thing was launched I signed up but to this date nothing I see reported as available IS available. Right now when I check it shows Torchlight 1 & 2 both as unavailable and I can't help but feel like this was all a scam by a reputable site/company to try to encroach on a competitors client base.

You should contact GOG support, some users have been experiencing issues ever since the lauched Connect, but their support has always helped resolve such cases (according to my experiences in /r/GOG).

Connect has been working properly for me ever since launch day, but I recall having to refresh the page twice or thrice the first time I used it.

For the record, there's also Weaponized Chess [External Link].

Quoting: DonkeyIf it is Tomb Raider after an easy guess, then that could indicate that the release is imminent.

That's unlikely, the port's hint is marked as "Quite Soon" which is the third, and most distant, category of upcoming ports in the radar.

Sometimes I begin to wonder, has linux gaming just gone too far?

Quoting: oldgaroOr just use a decent Windows Manager like Dwm or i3wm...

Such retarded fanboy posts are what makes me wish we had an up/downvote system instead of an "abuse-safe" likes one.

Quoting: razing32Wait ... so you don't have that issue there ? Never used i3 so curios.

You don't have that cause in tilling wms every worksplace is dedicated to a single monitor (but you can have any number of workplaces regardless) so as long as a window is launched in or moved to your desired workplace there's no way it would show up in the wrong one.

Definitely not getting any awards for original ideas, but it would have to suck so much more to ever get close to being the worst zombie survival game on Steam.

It's probably going to participate in the worst game name awards though. Seriously now, how do they even come up with these names? Is there an unspoken of resource where people vote on these?
