So they're waiting for an engine that already supports Linux... to support Linux.

Makes sense.

Man, this looks so much like XCOM and XCOM 2 that I'm almost expecting Firaxis to sue the developer. The art design and interface are strikingly similar to the point that it could legitimately cause confusion among consumers.

You know, studios could be a lot more creative with their advertising art for fantasy RPGs since every one seems to use a variation of the exact same image. It gets to the point where I will often overlook a new game simply because the "box art" looks so familiar that I assume I've already seen it before.

For that matter, the in-game art isn't much more distinctive.

Was always disappointed that the official version never had Linux support since it should have been a simple enough game to port, but this is the next best thing.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIIRC launchers are not allowed on SteamOS due to them not able to handle fullscreen.

I think Feral programs their launcher to not run if you start the game from Big Picture mmode.

Quoting: Seegras

Quoting: Mountain ManAt any rate, I'm pretty sure that reverse engineering software is illegal

Absolutely not! Stop sprouting other assholes propaganda!

Of course o load of bad companies would like it to be illegal, but it's not.

It's illegal to copy code verbatim, but "reverse engineering" implies this is not the case.

It depends on what is done and how it is done.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyEnding the statement with "sad"--I wonder if Atari have decided to go with the "Donald Trump" method of gaining publicity. Machiavelli: "Let them hate, so long as they fear". Trump: "Let them hate, so long as there is buzz".

If we want to continue the Trump analogy, the Atari VCS will have detractor after detractor come forward and tell them it can't be done only for Atari to pull off a brilliant success in the end.

And, no, I don't see that happening. This thing is sounding more and more like the Phantom from Infinium Labs which turned out to be a scam from the beginning. Has anybody looked at the names behind this Atari VCS? I wonder if the same folks are involved, because it all sounds suspiciously familiar.

It's a shame, as I wanted it to be success considering it could have been an interesting Linux gaming device.

It's still interesting. Just in all the wrong ways.

Quoting: NovenTheHeroYou can get a Steam Link for $2.50. Insane.

Plus $7.99 shipping. Still not a bad price, all things considered.

I would be more tempted if I wasn't currently saving up for a Nintendo Switch.

Between the give-aways at GoG and Humble Bundle, winning contests at Gaming On Linux, and people giving keys away in forums, I've gotten so many free games in the past 12-months that I'm finding it difficult to justify spending money on new games.
