Quoting: EhvisBut no Dune 2! I suppose it's mostly similar to Dune 2000, but that's not the one I played loads of. :D

Apparently, there is the D2 mod: https://github.com/OpenRA/d2 [External Link]
On a side note (non-openra), another alternative would be Dune Legacy: http://dunelegacy.sourceforge.net/website/index.html [External Link]

That'll be their first game I'm not buying (and that's not some joke about the f2p nature of the game, I'm skipping this one) ;_;

This game is a poster child of why one should be very weary of spending money on "games as a service". Apart from it being "taking out features games used to have included in their base price and charging extra for them", it has the added "benefit" of having those basic features stolen from you at a moments notice.

Unity for the user interface and store :D

Whoddatunkit.

With the current atari's (infogrames) track record (both in crowdfunding and their history in milking nostalgia with manure), this was rather a likely outcome.

> However, you can also find things like the NeoGeo Classic Complete Collection which comes with with ROMs too legally from places like Humble Store.

Additional legal ROM source tip: On steam itself you can also get the sega mega drive collection. It's regularly on sale for around $10. That collection has notoriously bad emulation and a silly bloated 3d interface, but you can just copy-paste the rom files for use in an emulator of your own choice and then uninstall sega's bloated mess.

Quoting: finaldestI didn't know they were so cheap

I have never used one but I may now look into getting one to use as an emulator at those prices. I have also seen a few sweet custom cases on YouTube that are build to fit so may get one of these also.

Thanks for the heads up.

Make sure that those cases' designs caught up with the new pi's layout.

Quoting: Alm888...

Lots of native closed-source Linux games, like "Aquaria" (which developers went defunct)
...

Funny you mention Aquaria, one of the few exceptions that prove the rule, since it's been open sourced for years:

Colour me surprised. I know I promised not to comment on Atari any more, but this is too rich. They needed months to find out that, contrary to their claims at the time, ryzen thrashes the bristol ridge, even within the same power and thermal envelopes?

What's next, some research into whether a via c3 would not have been better?

It's also going to put them straight back at square one with development: no way in hell are they going to get it shipped in 2019.

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: pbSo much for free updates, welcome a swarm of dlc.

That wouldn't be a bad thing. If you're happy with the value you got from the game's purchase, fine, just ignore the DLC. If you loved the game and would welcome more features and expansion, this is great news.

Unless you wanted all those extras for free...? In which case, I have no words! :)

Up to now, all updates to the PC version of PA have had those extras for free. Introversion's way of supporting games after release is fundamentally different from that of paradox. Crudely stated: Introversion has provided extra value for money, whilst paradox is always trying to sell you more stuff.
