Yes. I just bought it and there is a Keybindings menu in the settings.

Please see the last paraprah on this (luckily preserved) website:

and then you will know how I think about Mojang ... or Notch. They broke a promise they made to me when I bought the game. But maybe they would say that purchases did not die down. On the other hand, they removed that statement from the website so I would say they do not intend to honor that promise anyways. And I somehow doubt (as Dunc also noticed) that the Java edition is seeing many new sales nowadays ...

Tencent is the only thing that makes me disagree. We could fit 100+ Valves inside Tencent's pockets. To put things in perspective, Valve has a total equity of ~2.5Bi, Tencent had 72Bi Net Income in 2018 alone.

Uh ... besides that being irrelevant in total since Tencent has a minority stake in Epic, you need to compare the same unit and the same accounting category to make any sense. Tencent had a net income of 79.984 billion CN¥, which is roughly 12 billion USD.

The equity of Tencent (given on the same wiki site) is 356.207 billion CN¥, or roughly 50 billion USD.

What you wrote is similar to saying "Tencent has 55000 employees while Valve is only 23 years old!"...

edit: fixed units. Used Japenes Yen instead of Chinese :whistle:

It did not the last time I tried about 3-4 Months ago (Radeon VII). Just launched to a black screen. Played the Proton version afterwards, which works perfectly.

After a casual game for the weekend? Runefall 2 brings some more match-3 to Linux

Bought it and it plays and looks quite interesting. Also worked flawlessly out of the box. Can recommend it after having played for ~ 1h.

Unique tower-based strategy game Protolife is heading to Linux, needs more testing

Keeping an eye on this but the reviews say that the trailer is misleading (regarding map size). There seems to be no planetary scale as suggested by the trailer or even map sizes close to it.

Also I read in some comments/reviews that this was written in JS and incredibly slow even on powerful machines. Can someone here that owns the game confirm or refute this?

Seems that the Linux version of Supraland will not be heading to GOG (updated)

Quoting: ShmerlWithout saying when. So you can't extrapolate from there. Basically they can interpret that like they want. So for the user it basically is equal to "you can't, unless we told you you can".
This is not true and you are arguing yourself into a corner here. According to your interpretation of laws you can not make a backup of GOG games either. I don't find the word "Backup" in their user agreement either ....

The simple yet stylish puzzle game SiNKR 2 is out and it's lovely

It instead comes DRM-Free which is arguably even better.
Agreed. But why not both? I like to have all my games registered with steam. You *can* deliver DRM free games through steam after all. It would be great if steam told you if a game was DRM free though.
