A group of players in the r/smite discord made a big impact on this change
This is a big win and it proves to never lose the hope & keep asking (politely) developers for Proton or Linux support.

In other GOG news they're also doing their own thing for Pride Month, and a little differently this time too. Instead of just one game collection, they've made an entire page to highlight games across various categories including Masculine romance representation, Female romance representation, Featuring transgender characters and more.
And you have to scroll aaaaaalll the way down to see this collection. Shameful. Cowards.

No wonder they changed the name :huh:

Developers are being hounded because of the Tetris trademark for decades now. Which is why we are seeing titles like "falling blocks" or "form a line".
