Quoting: EhvisIt has an ancient lcd game!

Please don't say ancient. It makes me feel so old. :/

We must be from the same era! Just think of it being technologically ancient. :P

Obvious question, why this over Starbound?

Quoting: tmtvlAnyway, it probably is Kubuntu, because the *buntus are still considered to be the golden standard, unfortunately.

It's still better to have *a* golden standard than no at all. At least game devs have a fixed system to test against. Otherwise they may have been scared off by the excessive amount of choice.

Quoting: GuestRepeat after me: "I don't know."

There, was that so hard?

The quote was: "Linux version - no, I don't think so.", so he wasn't really expressing anything with certainty. That's just reverse hype at work.

Colour me not surprised. And excited. I may use this weekend to finally play through the first (well, the remake) one. I only played for about an hour when I first got it.

Quoting: GoLBuzzkillI didnt say that and I didnt say anything wrong, why are you defending them?

All that stuff you wrote about Valve is irrelevant to the remark about the 30%. In fact, only one opinion matters, that of the devs that use. And from the few bits I've heard directly from actual developers, they're actually quite pleased with Steam. It's not just the store, there is whole backend that manages versions, alpha and beta branches, and who knows what. If devs stop trying to do all that stuff by themselves because the cost is too much, then Valve must be doing something right.

Quoting: GoLBuzzkillLast 7-8 years Valve only knows how to take 30% from someone elses work.

Bitter much? You think building and maintaining the Steam infrastructure or supplying the 2 terabit/s bandwidth is free?

Quoting: HoriIt's also the base price difference which is a huge problem... 55€ vs 50$ when 50$ = 45,37€ (at today's rate)

Don't forget that dollar prices generally don't include VAT, while Euro prices must include VAT (typically around 20%).

It looks pretty impressive. They chose a more realistic style compared to the cartoony Cities in Motion and Cities: Skylines, which feels better to me. Also, the editing of railroads looks far superior and easier to what I've seen so far. And of course maybe more importantly, it looks like it follows the (Open)TTD style of economy, which makes things more interesting than the purely passenger stuff in CiM2.

If it all pans out, they may have a winner on their hands.
