Fallout 3 removes Games for Windows Live, works well on Linux with Proton
14 October 2021 at 10:01 am UTC Likes: 1
When I had Fallout 3 on PC, on Windows back then, I didn't purchase the game. There was a crack that allowed me to play without GfWL. To play Steam games offline, even if we were to have ALL games on our HDDs, we would need Goldberg Emulator, which to me is nothing more than another crack to bypass the online features of Steam.
Therefore, saving the difference in features, and not counting all the things Valve have done for the gaming community, etc, requiring Steam to play a game is not different as requiring GfWL.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: ArehandoroNo, I'd say it's somewhat different. If you have a game that had GfWL integrated it wouldn't matter how much warning you had, there would be nothing you could do to make your game work once GfWL went away.Quoting: slaapliedjeI thought this happened a long time ago (the removal of Games for Windows). Like back when that service was murdered. Think of all those old games that had integrated this garbage, and the other one that died, Gamespy... definitely made a large section of software unplayable. But I know when it happened years ago, that most things that had any sort of community had Games for Windows removed.
No different to the fact that if Steam were to go bust all our games would not work either, not downloadable.
If you own a Steam game and Valve goes under, unless it's amazingly sudden you can, like, download the game before they finish dying. Sure, if you have massive numbers of games that would take ridiculous amounts of storage you might have to buy a big hard drive or something. But if you purchased that many games you are not poor, so whatever. And if you bought a bunch of games with no plans to have enough storage to so much as download them, it's really on you; I'm actually kind of in that boat, but I don't tell myself it's Valve's responsibility--the decision to not fully take ownership of those games by putting a copy on my own computer was mine, not Valve's.

Anyway, even though with all the bugs, the somewhat wrongly written story, and Fallout Vegas being much better just a couple of years later, I loved Fallout 3 to pieces.

Those are pretty impressive numbers. With those thermals, in winter the Deck will also replace a hot cup of tea for some people :P

The first issues I remember with Remote Play started after upgrading to fedora 34, but I did install Pipewire in fedora 33 for Cyberpunk and the test days, maybe I had issues before 34, and Pipewire was the culprit all along.

Before I edited the message, I had .sh capitalized, but it was hurting my eyes seeing an .sh extension like that xD

One game I didn't know it existed, but looks pretty awesome! It also seems the kind of game that could really benefit from being open-source too.

I'd consider it if it had the Definitive Edition of the 1st Mafia.
