Quoting: torhamWould buy Gang Beasts but not sure it's actually DRM-Free despite being part of a DRM-Free sale.

It is clearly stated that it's available as a DRM free download.

It was probably easy to predict that this would have an effect. I personally wouldn't start deleting stuff from my wishlist because the chance of winning something is just too small to worry about. But if Steam wanted to prevent that, they should have made it a random pick from the wishlist before the sale started so that any changes wouldn't have an effect. Probably a relatively small effort on their part.

Anyway, it being the top three was already a good solution of they actually made that very clear. Which they obviously haven't because I thought I read it properly and I still missed it.

Edit: On a practical note they seem to have butchered the team selection a bit. Looks like everybody (that is not me) is automatically selecting the top team.

But from the Steam discussions a big question remains for me. Can I rebind the WASD (and other keys) to something that actually works for me?

Quoting: KohlyKohlWhen you pick a few heroes you want and they never show up again, that is a big issue in my opinion.

You can also say that you failed to plan for alternatives. Since the sell price of one star heroes is the same as the purchase price, you can store stock a few alternatives.

So apparently there are people that managed to get beyond the bad gateway.

From what I picked up on Discord, the game works fine in Proton as long as you join servers without EAC protection.

And I don't see EAC working in Wine/Proton. If they actually managed to get a properly configured EAC to work with Wine, I'm sure that EAC will be changed so that it won't. Not as a spiteful act, but because it means that EAC failed in its primary objective.

Quoting: pbDoes Epic allow devs/pubs to sell Epic Store keys elsewhere? If not, why?

There are Epic codes on Humble. Whether they can be generated free of change remains to be seen though.

At the end of day, it seems that Sweeney doesn't get it or tries very hard to make it look different to what it is.

Quoting: denyasisIsn't it a bit of an inevitability, though?

Playing devil's advocate a bit here, but, since 32 bit is no longer being pushed, Isn't it just a matter of time before it would be dropped or that future versions of libraries would have incapabilities with our beloved older games and programs?

There are two things to note here. One, by the time something is given up completely, there usually something in place to still run you old things. Dosbox for instance (or dosemu before that). Right now the only thing available is to actually have the 32-bit libs (or a VM, but that's too problematic).

Second problem is Wine specifically. Microsoft was very late in moving over to 64 bit. Windows software even later. So while most things native Linux have moved on, the same cannot be said for Windows. Which is a problem for those using Wine.

I agree that it is inevitable, it's just way too early.

Quoting: TuxeeEven if not - not everything is doom and gloom:

That's obviously not the whole story. They're looking at minimum requirements to build wine. But let's say you want to run Overwatch on wine with it's braindead 32 bit b.net launcher, then you're looking at a fairly steep list of 32 bit dependencies that the wine team is not going to solve for you.

That said, even if Canonical won't reconsider, I think the packages will be built by others. Maybe they'll move from the base distribution to the "universe" or something like that, but that shouldn't really matter too much for most users.

Quoting: Tuxee... and my 4 Wine applications seem to work perfectly ok with wine64.

That doesn't mean they aren't 32 bit and use 32 bit libraries.
