Quoting: KimyrielleI am a huge Civ fan, but it's honestly not a game I'd play multiplayer. Turn-based games and multiplayer don't mix very well IMHO. Still good to see this implemented for the people who wanted it. :)

Multi-player in TBS games is very fun with a few friends imo. At least it's fun until Ghandi kills everyone.

For racing games, what is it that justifies a new title every year? What makes this one so different from the 2015 version?

I could say a lot of things about re-hashed mechanics in series like Assassin's Creed, but at least each game had a new story with new / improved upon characters.

Quoting: AryvandaarThis is a good step forward, but I'm not going to pay per episode.

Assuming you are okay with all the other problems mentioned in the comments: you can get entire seasons in bundles.

Yeah, but I don't really buy series unless I really love them. For everything else there is streaming.

Quoting: liamdaweWell it is obvious if they put out a Linux beta, they want to support Linux to get more sales isn't it? They go hand in hand.

Yes, of course, I just find the wording to be too misleading. Now that I read the article and announcement again I see that they wrote "open beta", which is even worse than to use that "public beta" and only having it available for people who own the game. I don't think I need to explain what "open beta" means. The entire industry use it, as a limited kind of free demo.

Quoting: liamdaweI think this is being a little pedantic here, but I get the jist of what you're saying.

I may just as well be wrong, but the cynic in me tell me that it's a tactic to get more people to buy the game, which is why I pointed it out. Any tactic that companies use to try to feel players that they "have to" buy a game miss out on something cool, is something I'm against. As I said first, I could just as well be wrong, but seeing how the gaming industry is at this point, is it so weird to be cautious and a bit cynical?

Quoting: AryvandaarDoesn't public beta mean available for all?

Yes, all who own it. It's still a commercial game.

Yeah I know. I was just raising a few eyebrows at what looks like wrong use of words, which in turn could be misleading. If a beta is behind a paywall, is it a "public beta" then?

Quoting: STiATWhat I'm rather wondering:

What's up to Ashes of the Singularity? Didn't hear of that game in quite a while now (9 Month?). Seems as this one will not see any release in Linux. And that one I was REALLY looking forward to.

I think they are waiting for Vulkan to get more development.
