Oh no, another puzzle game. But at least it looks and plays like a modern game.

I wonder if we'll ever reach parity or even surpass Mac. Heh that will be the day.

Quoting: adolsonIt was just a little joke. But I will never buy one of those black-text-on-white-background "games" and I wish they were separated from the real games. It seems like 50% of the time or more when I see a cool-sounding game title and icon, I click it, only to be greeted by a set of screenshots that all look like a homework assignment.

You should try browsing GOG games then, holy moly it seems like every other game is a turn based point and click retro graphics indie novel. It would be really great if both Steam and GOG would add search filters to make it easier to browse only high quality commercial games.

I know there are some people who like those kinds of games but honestly Linux is no longer in need of any more 1980s text adventures.

Agree with the slowdown. Some of the slowing probably comes from Valve pulling titles from the list for not meeting certain standards as they were doing right before Steam Machine launch.

Once we surpass 2000, it would probably be in everyone's interest to stop celebrating every multiple of 100.

Yay! I was introduced to this game by my family and got hooked. Looks like I'll be adding another 'big' game to my Steam library.

I thought Ouya went out of business.

Quoting: GuestThis going to be on GoG or Steam or somewhere else?

I came looking for the same answer. It's DRM free so GOG is only the natural landing pad for such a game.

How very nice to see that we have priority over both Mac and consoles for this release.

Quoting: khalismurI understand your conservative point of view. But the world has moved on...

I agree with Xelancer. Why exactly do you want to own a game, anyway? Some people like to display the boxes in collections, which they see as hobbys. Other than this, it's hard to see another use of physically owning game media. Accessing offline is possible once you have downloaded, from most online retailers. The world will be soon 100% online anyway (like it or not! I, for once, don't like it. But it's the way it is...)

Naw, I'm not a physical box type of guy. In fact, I did away with all physical media years ago and went on a hunt to find a chassis that doesn't waste space on an optical drive bay (that's harder than you probably imagine). A 100% online world sure sounds nice, but that isn't the reality. With ISPs as crappy as they are and corporations using the "let us host everything for you" as a way to control not to help, I'm not keen on giving up my computing to "the cloud".

More so than browser gaming, complete cloud gaming is a wolf in sheep's clothing and we all need to stay vigilant that our purchases and our data belong to us.

I would hope not the future of all gaming. How would you own the game in such a scenario? What happens if you don't have internet access? To rely on WebGL for all your gaming would be no different than to give in to any other DRM schemes.

If it is the future of gaming, hopefully that only applies to multiplayer-only titles which need network access anyway.
