They should start selling special 18+ versions of their steam wallet cards in shops.

If a credit card is good enough, those should also do fine.

So, are those games going to be released on their vcs?

Sorry (not), but couldn't resist after having been bashed here for "negativity" and "sarcasm" before that thing's release.

They said EU users will "follow once laws in your region require it" and other countries as their laws come in.

Interestingly, the eu method of verification seems somewhat more sensible, where the digital attest is restricted so much that the service that requires the age-check only gets to see the verification of the age and the party that issued the attest has no way of seeing what service it is used for.

None of that silly sending of your id to the more seedy corners of the internet.

@Linux_Rocks While it is a good cause in its own right, I will confess that anti-anti-dei considerations add some extra spice to supporting it.

That will go down well, I'm sure.

I know they are not developing any more, but they still face an uphill battle with convincing players, with the distasteful stain of gollum on their reputation and the steady stench of big ben interactive looming over them.

As Stella's comment on inability to view which apps are installed in the application manager . . . that's probably true

Just checked on my install to see whether I was misremembering: it ain't true.

One of the options in the hamburger menu of the software manager is to display installed applications. Furthermore, one can also view said list with the included backup tools which, by the way, by default do not do anything unless one tells them to.

Running mint xfce 21.3. Things may have changed in the new beta, but I doubt it.

We all saw what happened with Fedora when a proposal was put to drop 32-bit didn't we? Sounds like another messy situation. I wonder how much backlash this will end up causing for the openSUSE Leap developers.

Um, leap is based on enterprise, with the latter removing support and the leap developers spending effort to give their users the option of getting it back fairly easily.

No one expects an enterprise product to support gaming and, despite that, leap users can still game. I see nothing here that warrants the comparison.

> Also, wtf Atari, how are they coming up with all this cash?

Who pays with cash nowadays? As with most acquisitions, the likely walked to a bank and got them to fund it.

<sigh>

Another game, another silly eula from entitled devs; they don't want people modding this game.

This genre is poisoned far too much for me to put up with this.
