I like their sense of humour.

Innersloth, developer of Among Us, mentioned they would "delay content and features our players actually want to port our game elsewhere"

I dispute the implication that we, as players, won't appreciate it when unity is removed from our games.

For one, I'd prefer devs of said games to have a sustainable business model. For the other I'd prefer that the games I install on my system not be weighed down by potential malware. I firmly believe that we as gamers will also be targeted by unity's monetisation schemes, sooner rather than later.

Offtopic: seeing dark reign in the screenshot, never got that game working in linux.

Now waiting for the other shoe to drop...

because I can guarantee you that over at unity they're also looking for ways to monetise directly from the people who play the games.

True, they seem to have come a looooong way from the harmonica.

Not a fan of the dlc-spamming. Especially at release (and even during the early access?).

Still interested, but going to wait for a lower sales price.

And to all the armchair lawyers out there, the letter to Valve did not make any claims that we were violating a US copyright by including the Wii Common Key, as a short string of entirely random letters and numbers generated by a machine is not copyrightable under current US copyright law. I

Well, as an armchair lawyer myself I can tell you that it's not any alleged copyright on the key that is the legal problem, it's that one can use the key to circumvent digital restrictions.

For the same reason, most linux distro's don't ship with decryption libraries for dvd's or bluray disks.

Quoting: neffoWhoa, Dark Reign - criminally underrated game.

The GOG page has some reviews that playing with WINE is broken, have you had play this version on Linux? I'm intrigued by this game

Doesn't work for me on mint xfce with heroic launcher (tried many different wine/proton versions). Get a division by zero error message when attempting to run it.

I've given up on running it in a wine-alike and installed it on a vm that I prefer to use for similarly obscure old windows titles.

Is there a particular bug you're hoping to be solved soon?

The notification spam on Steam Deck is really annoying.

Don't know how it is on the deck, but the newfangled client has a whole section of the settings dedicated to notification finetuning.

I've all notifications disabled that can be, and haven't seen a single one cropping up since.
