As long as GOG are worse they have little to worry about.

Quoting: dpanterAnother day, another Intel security disaster.
It's not like people warned about this back in 2014 [External Link] or anything. :dizzy:

Outside of the regular 7 Days to Die, I've been building stuff in Planet Nomads. The survival stuff is rather easy now. The story bits are ok, but the most interesting part is still building crazy things.

I also started in The Longing. Good atmosphere, but obviously not a whole lot that can be said at this point.

Quoting: toorIs the market so juicy on Linux about those kind of games? It feels like they port this kind more than any other, or is it just me?
One would assume they have a contract with Creative Assembly to port all their games and expansions. Since TW games appear to be pretty popular in general, they have no reason not to do it.
