Quoting: StackMasherThe title is kind of misleading, it makes it sound like the game might not get released and if it does it will only be on linux
I didn't interpret it that way, but now you mention it I can set what you mean. Maybe I'm just used to Linux users getting bad news? :)

Pathfinder: Kingmaker, an isometric single-player RPG has reached the goal for a Linux version

I do enjoy my CRPGs, and have recently started playing old school tabletop Pathfinder - so I'm in! It does look very Baldurs/Pillars-ish which makes me happy.

Quoting: SamsaiDon't think I've ever seen as insane pricing with a video game before.
Heh welcome to Australia where we constantly pay insane pricing for digital content.
While that's true, there are places that will *usually* have them a little bit cheaper (£45-£50 ish)

Considering how much companies overcharge prices in that region it is not that surprising at all.
And considering they claimed they don't do business in Australia.

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2

Quoting: GuestInstead I was roasted alive and got sent (to my work and personal email accounts, and my personal Facebook account, Steam account etc) tons of very hateful mail, telling me/my family to go and die, and such like.
Damn, that's messed up.

I wonder if there is something we could do to show we aren't all jerks. Maybe CDPR needs cookies.

Leaving Lyndow removes Linux support from Steam due to masses of bug reports

Where he is talking about bugs in different distros, is there really that much difference when it comes to gaming? I'm genuinely curious.
If so, that's kind of frustrating. I always thought stuff that worked on Ubuntu would most likely work on Arch etc. Choice is good and all but standards are important too.

It wasn't a bad book I thought. It's a good mix of fiction based on facts. There was also a tv series, for those not keen on reading

Are you ready for some more Tyranny? Something is being teased for tomorrow

Quoting: scaineI loved Balder's Gate back in the day, but didn't really like the mechanics in PoE much.
Hmm.. in my opinion Tyranny isn't really like Baldur's or Pillars. Has a very different feel to it.

It's good for the role playing aspect I suppose but I found it a little bit too simplistic.

You had me at Flashback and Blade Runner. I'm in!

Pyre from Supergiant Games is coming to Linux, should be a day-1 release

Hmm. I really enjoyed Bastion, Transistor a bit less so. This doesn't really appeal to me at all though - and party RPGs are my bread and butter. I dunno what it is exactly, maybe the art style?
