Quoting: dvdLet's be honest, this just means they won't ban as many nazis and dogwhistles will be probably OK there now. On an additional note, the reactionaries are such big fucking snowflakes: even as a non-american it's pretty clear that their propaganda flows freely from all mainstream sources. Censorship, of course... Crybabies...
Fighting nazism is affairs of law enforcement, not twitter's lol. If you see a nazi doing nazi things, write a report to police, maybe?

It's not like they'd do anything about it. And these platforms cynically play it off because it drives their ad money.

Honestly, fuck this. Already working more for a tenth of a salary of what westerners get. I for one won't be spending anything on new games in the next few years it seems.

Humble have a nice list of classics in the RPG Legends bundle

Quoting: GuestKickstarter just smells like burnt promises and lies. Obviously this depends on what horses you've personally backed in the past but for me I just got sick of lemons, fall short promises or backing something for feature X for them to yank feature X despite making all their goals and more. (feature "X" is often a Linux build)

I'd really watch out for a demo running on Linux. Of course, it's not a guarantee, but it's a very good sign that they are prepared to do it.

Yeah it's true but it's still a reality they could release with a Linux build then just yank it a year later. I'm old and I've seen such a growing trend of negatives in gaming and tech I don't particularly trust anyone anymore...GET OFF MY LAWN~!

With that in mind I'm not crapping on the devs or the game. Just saying I'll wait and see how the launch goes. Frankly when I read isometric it kinda took me back to Kickstarting Pillars of Crapternity. However when I saw the game was actually 3D and looked good I was kinda like well the article title did a good job of thinking this is going to be meh then the trailer was all KABLOW!

Wait, what was the problem with pillars? the first one was really good, the second one ok, both got linux builds and gog realease too.

Can one even get decent singleplayer games these days?

Well for me this game was one of the most disappointing purchases i made. It's still ok since they have native linux support, but the game mechanics feel a lot less fun than minecraft. The combat is not too interesting and the grind seems harsher.

I simply thought that it was adorable and was just sad it's not coming to linux. After all it seemed like an indie studio so i had my hopes up.

I really don't see how I harm "linux" by not buying games that cost almost as much as a months rent and provide no support for my platform of choice.

Windows only, shame... When i saw the trailer it looked like a nice game.

Well it looks like it's going where it was. The studios/publishers that had several products on linux are continuing to release all or most of their stuff on it, and the rest just dont. I think porting in itself a problem, it shouldn't be a problem to plan for multiple pc platforms at the same time. They did and do it for Mac, and thats a more shifting target if anything.
