My 12-year old is going to be so excited to hear about this. He's been asking me for months when Victor Vran is going to have local co-op.

SteamOS makes sense because it's a lean operating system, but Windows 10 on that thing? Yeah, right.

Looks like they've all been snatched up. :(

Well, it's not a no, so I guess that's positive.

I wonder if there is some sort of legal action between Valve and the developer which prevents them from being able to comment?

Quoting: SnowdrakeThis game was so awesome (superior by many aspect to its sequels).

I agree. Morrowind is such an interesting locale compared to the generic medieval settings of Oblivion and Skyrim, and Morrowind had some genuine choice-and-consequences role playing as opposed to Oblivion's and Skyrim's "You can do everything and be awesome at everything!" premise.

Reminds me of the infamous Phantom console.

Linux actually has a huge presence in Hollywood. Every special effects shop uses Linux almost exclusively, from animation software to massive render farms to the final online edit for a finished film. Linux is big, big, big in the world. It's only on the desktop where it continues to struggle.

Quoting: Ignis

Quoting: EhvisIt makes perfect sense.

If all the content is contained within the game, then the DLC is basically just a validation key. Which is DRM by definition and therefore incompatible GoG.

Or they could’ve made it so characters in a network game are limited to what both players have (and having actual content in DLCs, duh). Still better than that.

That would just piss off players who had bought the DLC and fragment the multiplayer community between the "haves" and the "have nots". League of Geeks is obviously trying to avoid this.

I literally don't know what they are doing now. This "no way for us to provide DLC for DRM Free users" just makes zero sense.

It's because if someone in a multiplayer game owns the DLC then all connected players will be able to play as the new characters, which means all the coding and assets are installed on all copies of the game. The developers use an online check -- basically Steam -- to see whether or not a player has bought the DLC. I'm not sure there is an elegant way to allow such a feature in the DRM-free version that wouldn't be trivial to circumvent with a simple .ini edit.

THing is, steam won't stop piracy, especially with stuff like SSE (steam emu) and CreamAPI (a dlc unlocker). THe newest DLC is already on TPB so using it as an excuse is total BS. Steam DRM is extremely weak and so easy to get past.

It's probably not so much to stop piracy as it is to prevent typical users from using trivial work-arounds in order to get the DLC for free. Your average consumer would be more likely to try a simple "hack" like editing an .ini file than they would to search torrent portals and warez sites for cracked copies.
