Quoting: GamingOnLinuxIn our previous article we talked about how it caused the popularity of the command-line game hosting tool LinuxGSM to explode too. It's since risen from around 750 servers being hosted to well over 1,400 so it also continues being a very popular way to host games.

Thanks!

Quoting: hardpenguinBtw what is the original source of "largely developed on Linux" info? Could not find it on GOL.
The developer has been quite open about it in their official Discord, they mentioned a while ago they completely removed Windows and that they're a dedicated Linux supporter. They even mentioned clearly they wouldn't do Epic exclusively, unless Epic Store supported Linux and so on and so on. They're a big Linux user and fan :)
That's super awesome

Yup, that way I played through GTA3 on Steam just a week or two ago!
So it's 100% completable on this engine? How about VC? I've never played either, but I have them on Steam, might as well try...
Yup, GTA3 is! Not sure about the Vice City though. I think it won't hurt to try!

Quoting: WorMzyI'm kinda curious what the 'RE' stands for. It's probably something obvious, but all I can think of is 'Resident Evil'...

I believe it's "reverse engineered".
