Cool. I signed that the very week the petition started, but as the hyphed moved over I thought this was a lsot cause. It's nice to see a second wave of hype now.
Let's just hope the invalid signatures are not to many.

I played that game when I was 6 I think. I don't think it was ever meant for 6 years old.
Maybe it's time to overcome childhood trauma and finish it. :huh:
The lasgun fights were nuts though.

But if in 2025 the boardroom approves a new engines that does not support linux it doesn't bode well for PDX long term. They are in full short term cashgrab to appease the stock market. Which btw is the signal they are giving since quite a few years already (as I said before, I grew tired of them sistematically not delivering what promised time ago). They are regularly offsetting poor DLC quality with more aggressive commercial campaigns.
It will work until it breakes. When it does, there will be no fallback. It sucks because there aren't many grand strategy alternatives of this magnitude around. So one virtually has to give up the genre entirely.
On the bright side, should EU4 be somehow decent on its last patch, I might buy the last DLCs on some post eu5 release sale and have illimited playtime on EU4.

Quoting: "mr-victory"If PDX is switching engines for the game, that would explain why they dropped Mac + Linux and also give me hope for a more optimized game client.They probably are using a bumped version of Clausewitz.

Ok.
Let's see if with this unpopular move they can finally produce some occasional release that is not a complete bugfest. That is one of the main reasons I stopped playing their games. Even though on linux it was less annoying than windows due to much faster loading times.

Lol at Epic they would do anything to not improve the user experience. Let's see how many users they attract with this yet another "consumer friendly" move. :grin:

Now I'm not a scientist... and putting aside the fact that a graph does not prove any correlation... am I dumb or the graph actually suggests that there is no correlation at all between Linux and cheat? :neutral:The drop trend started way before the Linux support removal and the trend continued practically unaltered after the removal.

Uhmmmm... it smells like Microsoft is going to pull off another GFWL leveraging Battle.net this time.
Let's hope they do it right this time. It won't (and can't) be worse than EGS that is for sure.
