Any word on how the gog version is doing on linux?

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.

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.

Nope; side and bottom intakes only.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThey both eventually launch games though, right? I actually prefer the Lutris method as launchers are crap. :)

Eventually? I guess. With Lutris, you still have to install Epic Game Store (and all other Launchers) separately, and installing GOG games really doesn't need either, Heroic just makes it easier. With Heroic, you skip having to install EGS or GOG Galaxy. There is nothing that Lutris does that I can't do either with Steam or Heroic. I don't see the purpose of Lutris, at all.

Lutris also has scripts for automated installing of mods/fan patches/open source interpreters for your gog purchases.

So, if everyone else is being unethical and scummy, that makes it OK? I don't care about Sony either. Nintendo is an unethical company selling low-quality hardware and subsists mostly off of nostalgia addiction.

I'm not convinced that Nintendo is doing anything unethical.

Attacking game preservation is unethical. Selling hardware you know is defective is unethical. And those are just two very obvious examples.

On top of that it is doing the gaming equivalent of telling people where they are allowed to hang their paintings.

A gross overreach of restricting people's freedoms for no better reason than to protect the dubious business model of catching customers into a console ecosystem.

Yes, that would have been obvious if they didn't say that they don't have any "native" Linux users.

We say native Linux vs not for what the game _target_ is, I'd never heard anyone call their development OS native.

Since we're likely talking about a non-native English speaker, I'll forgive them their lapse.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Also, it seems that the first Reus does have a native linux version. I'll be checking how it runs.

Edit: steam version running fine here. Small fonts may be problematic on smaller screens, though.

Quoting: Guest8.6 tflops is crazy number for a handheld device, it is twice bigger than ps4pro, on par with rtx2070 tier GPU, and just a bit behind current gen consoles. you literally can replace a decent gaming pc with it

It's also being severely restricted by memory bandwith. Even asus's and amd's own marketing materials show just how much of a waste of silicon those extra tflops are.
