Quoting: Purple Library Guyhost it in some place like the EU and have some kind of region lock where they don't allow downloads from places with DMCA-type anti-digital-lock-tampering laws

I don't know about the rest of Europe, but at least here in Austria we have a similar rule. However, typically Austrian, it leaves a loophole, as here it is only illegal to circumvent an "effective copy protection" - and how effective can it be, if it can be circumvented? (IANAL)

And the worst part? That's all because of copy protection snake-oil.
In the end it again boils down to the DMCA's weird treatment of copy-protection.

Sorry for off-topic (is it?), but this immediately made "The Rush - Temples of Syrinx" play in my head.

Never need to wonder how or why

if you have good ideas for them to implement

They could have a dedicated maintainer for each package, who is responsible for building the package from source, and who is accountable in case the package contains malware. They could set up a system like this: https://wiki.debian.org/Maintainers [External Link]

Oh, wait...

Quoting: dibzInterested, but I'll definitely wait for a store release that supports both Windows and Linux with the same purchase. GOG or Steam probably.

I would expect that the purchase of the DRM-free version includes builds for all platforms:

Quoting: soulsourceIf one doesn't care about Steam additional features (like Steam Input, Remote Play Together), it's probably more convenient to just get it via the distribution's package manager. I only checked Debian and Gentoo, but they both have it in their official repositories, the package name is "uqm".

I'm on Opensuse Tumbleweed and the official repo doesn't have it, and when I search flathub, all I get is a mod? Is that the full game you're talking about?

I have relatively little knowledge about SuSE (last time I used it was more than 20 years ago), so I cannot really help here. It seems though that there is an experimental package for Tumbleweed: https://software.opensuse.org/package/uqm [External Link]

I don't have time.
I really don't have time.

Also, I already spent more money on games this month than I should have.

There are so many amazing games out there to play; you don't need to feel guilty about hopping from game to game.

From a (non-Ubisoft, non-EA) game developer's perspective that's actually pretty beneficial. If people play a lot of different games, they pay for a lot of different games after all.

It's really cool if old games still see support.

I hope this also fixes the keyboard scrolling issue, which is really annoying on the Deck. That issue has already been fixed in Book of Hours, so backporting the fix to CS would imho make sense.
