Learn to make no-code games with GDevelop and Fanatical

Quoting: marcoscodasThere are no in-game watermarks, resolution restrictions, restrictions on the number of events, scenes, and so on, in the free versions of GDevelop.
Oh the watermark was removed? That's great. Cheers and keep up the good job! 💪

Disclaimer - GDevelop is free and open source however the default build of the editor will add GDevelop watermark or splash screen to the game.

It can be removed by either paying for their subscription or, as I understand, compiling it on your own from the source.

This is a legitimate business tactic that does not violate open source principles at all.

Heroic Games Launcher 2.9 out now with Amazon Games support

Quoting: Phlebiac
you can now run streaming services like Netflix, AppleTV, and Crunchyroll
By way of browsing to them in the built-in browser, or is there some other feature I'm missing? Edit: I guess that's the "Add Game" / "side loading" feature added in the prior version. Question: is there any advantage over loading in a normal browser?
Well for one it makes it easy to use it on handhelds and big screen console-like setups.

With it you can launch Netflix directly from Heroic and by extension, directly from Steam. (add a non-Steam shortcut to Steam option)

Quoting: amataiI am totally lost with all that game manager.
Steam and Itch.io have Linux clients.
Heroic is for managing Epic, GOG and now Amazon.
Lutris supports everything and the kitchen sink. Use it for anything that isn't from any of the sources above. EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar etc.
Bottles is useful for .exe installers.
These programs have overlapping functions, which means you can use one of them instead of another. I just listed their primary functions.
I also use Heroic for custom Wine and Proton prefixes. No more Bottles or Lutris for me.

Quoting: michaInterestingly, it seems the upward change solely comes from Ukraine:

Can we assume that it comes from an increase in military devices usage? 😰
