Quoting: DrMcCoyThen I saw a shop with loads and loads of stuff, like home decorations for $10 - $100. And a boat for $300. Then I googled a bit and found this Eurogamer article about the real-money housing market [External Link] and yeah... I aborted the download.

You don't need to buy any of that stuff to play the game, but this is a very common sentiment.

like not being able to trade with other players

Note that players with full accounts can trade things to free trial players, you just can't give them anything back.

That's nice, they named it after me :)

I'm really looking forward to this.

Of the three options to purchase do all of them come with game access? Put another way, are they currently in alpha or beta?

Quoting: slaapliedjeI see that both Space Ace and Dragon's Lair is on sale, but sadly Space Ace doesn't show support for Linux. Anyone know if we have to wait another 4 years for it?

They said in the release announcement that all the games would be getting updated to the new engine in the coming weeks.

There are known issues with mouse and keyboard support but the Steam Controller will work.

Steam Controller didn't work well for me at all. Mouse and keyboard work if you edit the prefs file to open the game in a window.

I played this at (I think) EGX Rezzed. The thing that annoyed me was that, having picked an apparently ranged class, the only way I could shoot at things was to run towards them - there was no way to stand still and aim. No idea whether or not they changed that (devs at the show said that this was their intended design, so I doubt it), but I'll wait for a big sale before picking it up.

Quoting: michaUnfortunately, a Unity bug is causing these issues

Shroud of the Avatar is suffering from the same issue [External Link]. Works fine if you happen to be using Ubuntu+Unity DE, but not for anyone else.

Quoting: michaDelete /home/liam/.config/unity3d/Sandbox Interactive GmbH/Albion Online Client/prefs before every start (but you'll loose all setting change you made in game)

If you're happy to delete the prefs file then using a command line argument -screen-fullscreen 0 will probably work too (at least it does on Shroud).

Quoting: nitroflowThis also delivers a story and quests, problem is that only one of the three main quest lines is fully implemented

As of R41 it's now possible to complete both Love and Truth quest lines, however most of the side quests are still missing.

Fedora has been broken like this for a while. I did manually copy some files to make some games work but mostly it's easier just to restart Steam with the runtime enabled.

Having Linux support fall behind other platforms is a sad reality that I think Linux users need to be understanding of. If a game is already released on another platform, then I'd have more respect for a developer who gives priority to existing customers over customers they don't yet have - the opposite only suggests that we'll be treated poorly when we are finally supported!

Except in the case of Kickstarters we're all existing customers, so we're already being treated poorly.
