I want Castle of Illusion. The original and the Remake.

I got the Redux version on GOG for 1,59 USD, because I have Shadow Warrior 2013... And I have the original DRMFREE thanks to Desura..
For what I saw in comparative gameplays, the original version looks better and it runs on several linux distros via wine/crossover...

Now, is this statement coming from the people at Flying Wild Hog or from the people of Gambitious Digital Entertainment?

Quoting: 7IJ7oTCPA "Trusted Computing Platform Alliance" (first known name)

The Trusted Computing Group is a group formed by AMD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel and Microsoft to implement Trusted Computing concepts across personal computers.
... (Microsoft the only OS developer founding member of this alliance, ok IBM had developed OS2, so far I know but OS2 is good as dead)

Is this related with the Trusted Execution Technology of most intel CPUs?

Quoting: FredOI got these games in a Codemasters Humble Bundle a couple of years ago, and they are currently not downloading. Need to wait for Codemasters to activate them I guess.

I have the same pack with the keys of this game not redeamed.. And I have another codemasters pack from Indiegala...
I wonder if those keys will work

Quoting: tmtvlPeople will stop using the term "PC" to mean "Windows", as soon as people stop using the term "Linux" to mean "GNU/Linux".

I still say Linux, so it might take a while.

Well.. From a commercial point of view, "GNU/Linux" is longish...

Imagine to pronounce GNU Slash Linux several times in the same paragraph

Just "Linux" sounds perfect.

About the topic, I wish and hope that Mocosoft will break Steam someday..

Quoting: VPVP has two revenue streams when it ports games. If it is directly for the original publishers, the revenue is fixed and the publisher makes the decision where it is sold. However, some games are only available if VP covers all costs to bring the game to market, and unfortunately that can mean zero revenue for the version we make if it is sold on Steam. Steam do not split sku's and obviously we cannot release games for free.

THAT is my kind of Linux port; DRMFREE and totally backed by the porter.
Take note, Eddie.

One more thing:
Is this port english only or multilanguage?

Thanks for the answers, Eddie..

Quoting: edddeduckferalFriends Support
Leaderboards
Achievements
Cloud Sync
DLC purchase systems

For example during the game your key progression and decisions are logged and at the end of a chapter see how your decisions match up with all the other players or just against your friends.

WHO cares about those things in a single player game? :huh:

Anyway, in the Steam version of Mark of the ninja, there are all of those things, and in the GOG version, there aren't...
And We are happy with the GOG version..

Quoting: edddeduckferalI hope this explains just a few of the things people often don't think about when they talk about releasing a game outside of Steam, it's likely it's not so much about DRM but all of the other benefits of using Steam that are also in play.

There is no benefit at all in using Steam, because Steam is not only an Store, is also a DRM...
DRM is bad, specially on the Linux plattform.. DRM IS against the Linux philosophy.

If a have two Steam accounts (One from my windows era and a new one for Linux games), is because the publishers force me to use Steam if I want to buy their games... And I like to support the gaming on Linux..

I would like to know the publishing details...
I don't know if Square Enix hired Feral for to make a port.. Or if Feral acquired the publishing rights for Mac and Linux plattforms... If is the first one, I can understand the Steam DRM because Square Enix is a DRM lover... But, if is the second one.. well I don't know... And I want to know..

Anyway, thanks for the porting effort :)

Quoting: ShmerlToo bad it's not sold on GOG.

That is because Square Enix and Feral Interactive are DRM lovers.

About the game: I LIKE IT... I'm gonna buy it for my 100% Linux account.

It works very well with a GTX 970 and a core i7 4790K, more than 100 FPS at 1080p with all details at maximum..

I have to try it with lower hardware, such as a core i3 4160 and a GTX 750ti Low profile.... And a GTX 650..
