Oh man, I wished they released another Rive game so bad. Loved that game, the main character is hilarious, and the references they included in the game were great.

At the time they said it would be their last game, since they were disbanding. I only hope they can continue, because there is a lot of half backed indie games out there, and Rive had excellent production value. It was a finished game from the start, not a eternal "early access" like so many other ones full of promises.

A demo will only hurt the sales of a bad game. Also, developers can engineer the demo to better hook a potential buyer. Most demos are only the first stage and don't let the player see the big picture. Devs can do better than that.

Quoting: CatKillerI wouldn't be surprised if Valve have hit up Anker to provide the power cables.

Which would be a good thing. The ones I bought from them, were the only ones to survive under my mother and sister usage.

Quoting: NitsugaThis damn game has been crashing for months now, it all started with the ironic "Broken Fang" update.
L4D2 native crashes a lot as well. It truly feels like a joke.

I was about to say it. This is not the first time this happens with CS:GO on Linux.

Also L4D2 on Linux is more crashy than before, and is not only on Linux. My friends on Windows occasionally crash too, but less often than me.

All of these improvements only occur because of the funding from the DLC they release. This is one of a few games I pay for DLCs with gusto, since not only I receive new content that wasn't available at launch, but the core game continues to receive meaningful improvements on a regular basis.

Quoting: drmothI'm keen for this. The decision by gnome to cut a bunch of features and then push everything to buggy, javascript extensions has made my desktop experience worse than it was 10 years ago. Sure, it looks a lot prettier, provided you don't break your experience with lots of extensions.

I want a slick, highly usable, modern DE, that preferably doesn't look like Windows. Gnome is the only decent contender at the moment, but it's not great. Canonical's Unity, once the bugs were fixed, was actually really good. We need something like this again.

It is shocking how much bridges the Gnome devs burned over the years. Canonical only went back to them after facing bankrupt and still their developers do have friction issues. I wonder who back them up inside Redhat to continue in this path of scorched earth.

I don't know if this will succeed. Making a competent, feature rich DE is a massive job. I will not be surprised if they realize their "Blender Moment" (fine, I will make my own DE, with blackjack, and hookers), and simply start to work growing a smaller DE, like XFCE, based (or completing the port to) GTK3 and implementing Wayland support.

Unless a developer want to do a update to the graphics in a new launch (and even that is debatable), I find this type of project a big win for the publisher. They sell a new copy for those who want to pay (unrepentant pirates will never do) and at the same time have zero costs with support, since the player know they will not get any from the start.

Screamer 2 is already available for Linux, huuuuuummmmm. The only arcade rally game to ever come close to the sweet Sega Rally controls, at last in my mind...

Also, MDK is already there, but only for Windows. Lets hope they release it to Linux soon.

But beware: there is plenty of people complaining about the quality of the DOSBox setup, so make sure the game you want was already bug-fixed after the launch.
