Hmm... that trailer made it seem like it could be rogue-like. I hope not.

It's only $5?! Well, that might be worth a try.

Were the older games a little over the top like this? This trailer made me think of Far Cry 5 or other games that extort culture.

Quoting: WorMzyI don't think we will see Microsoft actively push software for Linux any time soon.
If we're talking about games, agree. The fact that Visual Studio Code works well on a Linux desktop tells me they are at least trying to support as many people as possible creating things on their cloud platforms, and that means developer tools and frameworks like WSL as you mentioned, Code, and .NET Core.

But what is my opinion of MS? Well... let's just say I've been considering moving to a different part of the U.S. because the tech industry in my area is too entrenched in MS and other old-fashioned vendor relationships for my style.

Wishlisted. As a father, it's fun to see what the kids find interesting to play with, be it building, logic, strategy, art, etc. I don't have any games like this one!

Nice. I'll be watching this one. I really appreciate Faeria, one of the few PC games my wife will play with (or against) me.

I gotta see how well it works, especially if I can do that for free. Aside from the aspects of digital ownership, I'm pretty skeptical that the input response will be acceptable. On the hopeful side, I do wonder if big-name games like Ghost Recon Breakpoint, The Division 2, Destiny 2, and The Elder Scrolls Online will be good experiences from a Linux desktop.

Quoting: marcelomendesSad to say but I'm done with buying on GOG until they release Galaxy on Linux. Manual download and updates are things of the past. Yes, I know about lgogdownloader, and no, it isn't a replacement.
I feel your pain. I still like buying games on GOG, but I'm not all-in. If it's a game that I think I'll be playing online with my friends a lot, I pick Steam because 1) I want to know if they're playing it and 2) I want updates to happen without me having to check for patches like the old days. And, with GOG, when there is a game update, I have to download the whole game! For those reasons, I only buy games on GOG that are either single-player or will be played on LAN instead of across the Internet.
