Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: hardpenguinWhile I understand the point of the concerns over intrusive anti-cheat solution, the problem stands. I would rather play one of the most popular video games in the world on Linux thanks to Proton than to use Windows. And so would many other Linux gamers.

Wine and Proton are not kernel drivers. But what if you had to run a binary kernel module of unknown origin before you could do that. Would you still be willing?

Yup.

I would like to remind you that EVERY APPLICATION YOU RUN on your computer has potential to do anything malicious to you, either intentionally or through a backdoor or vulnerability.

You don't trust closed source software? There are open source projects with vulnerabilities discovered years after damage was silently done.

You don't run unknown low level or root applications? Through X server, every application you use can read 100% of your input and what is on your screen, without the need for root access.

And I am pretty sure you do not run 100% of your applications in containers either. You do not run Wireshark analysis of your network traffic 100% of the time. And since you use Linux, you probably do not have an antivirus either. No detection of any sorts of suspicious network activity or webcam, microphone being silently turned on.

Look, I am not saying that privacy-focused approach makes no sense. I am saying that it all boils down to some risk and at least a little trust.

Quoting: GamingOnLinuxthe developer is ensuring there will be a Linux port too.

I love them already 😍

The port will be likely done by Square One Games [External Link]. They made The Bard's Tale (2004) port, as well as brought us Retro City Rampage and the original Wasteland.

I think people commenting here today confused GamingOnLinux with some mailing list for free software and privacy zealots...?

Such a pity.

With these new cores I am more inclined to start using Retroarch on Steam ☺️

Quoting: The_AquabatI'm very tempted to buy this. I just need to know how long it is. Desperados III and Shadow Tactics are just superb games.

"Instead of a revolutionary sequel, you get a few extra levels similar to the larger maps from the main game. It's more of the same, but that's a good thing. Overall the expansion takes about six to eight hours to complete and is a nice slice of what Shadow Tactics is known for."
