Super charming. It amuses me how what once needed to be prerendered can now be done in real-time, several times over. Is this anything like The Ship: Murder Party?

They've mentioned that players on both GOG and Steam versions will be able to play friends and join public games from their game client.

Well , you can't on GOG version because there is no platform equality on GOG.

A general tale of warning against relying on Steam multiplayer integration. This vendor lock in trap has prevented some number of titles such as Disco Dodgeball from being brought to GOG due to complications with multiplayer compatibility.

I think you misunderstood what i was saying.

GOG version will have multiplayer but via Galaxy Client.

Since there is no Galaxy Client for Linux (available for Windows and MacOS) , you won't be able to play multi. That isn't the case with Steam though. Steam is available on Windows , Linux and MacOS.

Direct IP and/or hosted server multiplayer without going through some proprietary network == best. I am aware of "GOG Crossplay" but that is only a shoehorn to be able to comply with Valve's multiplayer framework.

Quoting: facePlantedWhat about Amazon Lumberyard (and Star Citizen) ?

IIRC Lumberyard dropped any plans for Linux support, in typical back-stabbing fashion.

Not knocking the GDP or anything, I think it's great what they're building. But gaming is not so important to me that I must be doing it while in public or on the go. In fact, I would be embarrassed to be caught with such a device beyond the age of twelve. But maybe that's just me.

This could be a great gift for the kids, though.

Quoting: NanobangUntil Tripwire decides to man-up and keep their word, I'll see if I can't find a cracked Windows version to run in Wine. I'm sure as shit not gonna buy one, unless they release it on Linux.

Maybe ping that guy who does flatpack+wine builds for some unnamed file sharing site.

The KF2 port has been such a train wreck that it's kind of hilarious at this point. I can see it now: 2021: "Tripwire begin work on OpenGL renderer, say Killing Floor 2 for Linux should be ready for release by 2025"

Is there somewhere one can purchase motivation to play all of these cheap games that I've bought?

I wonder if that percentage would be even higher if Valve would liberate the Steam client and/or make it optional.

Quoting: tuubiI can't say I care about Sam, but I'm looking forward to The Talos Principle 2. I think Croteam already confirmed they'll be working on a sequel or at least another first person puzzle game.

Road to Gehenna was okay but felt like it was just standing in the shadow of the Talos Principle. But then again what should I expect from just DLC addon?

Quoting: TheRiddickI think steam machines should have used those laptop slot in PCIe cards to reduce price (they are cheaper I would assume). However I think only NVIDIA produced them.

Compact and/or mobile versions of anything are more expensive without economy of scale.

Now all we need is Microsoft to force steam games to sign in through their store system, now that would be funny as all hell! (that originally got valve pushing for SteamOS Linux in the first place)

As amusing as it may be, I do not wish for any further lock down even for those on closed platforms. Even then, I doubt many PC gamers would care enough to make any change.
