Quoting: KristianIt does however sound like they have nothing like CEG. It seems like a "You want DRM? You supply DRM" attitude. If they stick to that it is an advantage over Steam.

Or not. The Steam DRM is not particularly invasive. The "other" drm that might be chosen instead could be a lot worse.

That 12% is something they had to do if they wanted to stand any kind of chance since they can't offer a customer base of a few hundred million people. Question remains what they will do for that. Steam is a whole lot more than just a store and it remains to be seen how effective they will be in the competition.

Quoting: svartalfKickstarter, etc. are not buying things, to be brutally blunt here- when you contribute, you are investing into the making of a title, ...

You're also not investing, since that would entitle you to some part of the ownership. You're donating. And if you're lucky, you get something for it.

Cool! I'll happily give up a game of Artifact to see what Kan Gao has to say. I hope this is a prelude to another full game since everything Freebird Games makes will be a day one purchase for me.

So if the game has to run on Windows (let's face it, Ubisoft did not suddenly make Linux/Vulkan port for this) and the client is a browser, where does Vulkan factor in? Even if Linux is in between there for the hosting side, I still don't see a role for Vulkan.

Quoting: M@GOidI reverted to 1.32 (now it says my profile in incompatible, yay...) but at last the performance is back at a fluid 60fps on the cities.

ETS2 backups your profile directory on a version change. So you can just copy it back.

Wait, is this about FF for wheels or some specific devices? Because FF for my XBox controller has always worked (well, since 2014 when I bought the game) without any workarounds in ETS.

It's about wheels. It's also wrong, it is supported, but only the G920 driver is complete enough to handle it. It also appears to be strangely balanced compared to Windows because you have to turn it way down to get a bearable response.

To be honest, I'm kind of glad that it's delayed a bit. I have a couple of other games to play/finish and really no time for another one. Would be nice to have it over Christmas though.

Quoting: GuestSo the impression I'm getting from game reviews: It's design is a breath of fresh air for the shitty online card game trends, but not playable by sane people due to being a microtransaction pay-to-win hellhole.

I think more "...., but not playable according to people who don't play it because it is a microtransaction pay-to-win hellhole." accurate.

Quoting: EikeI never played a Trading Card Game, neither online nor offline.
Is there any introduction to Artifact I could read for some (casual) gaming?

I watched a youtube video from the tournament where they demonstrated the two tutorial matches. Should be easy enough to find and makes things much clearer than reading up on it.
