Owners of Armello on GOG can get a refund due to it not getting DLC and online features

I think some people don't like the fact that there are disadvantages to DRM free.

If the claim is true that all the DLC content is included in the base game for multiplayer purposes, then the DLC is just a "right to use". Which is DRM and therefore can't be sold on GoG. There is no solution to this other than to take it away from the multiplayer experience. Either way, people will be unhappy.

StarMade, the Minecraft-like spaceship builder now has a brand new launcher, be sure to try the demo!

Last time I wanted to try the demo, it tried to download a jar file and I cancelled. If it comes as a complete bundle now, I may give it a spin.

We Happy Few to release on Linux after the full release, not during Early Access

From what I remember, that's what they always said it would be. I was actually hoping the news post was about the opposite. Oh well, next year I probably still need to take days off to play it. ;)

ARK: Survival Evolved gains a paid DLC while still being in Early Access, reviews are destroying it

I looked at the vid from Xpanded and I think it looks like shit. Completely without detail, like a 10 year old game.

For the hell of it, I checked the depots on SteamDB. And to my surprise, the linux/mac depots are much smaller than the windows one. For this DLC by five times!

That can't be a coincidence. I suspect they removed detail from the world in order to cover up a massive performance problem. So it's basically like "low" when you put it on epic. Maybe someone with both Linux and Windows can verify this.

Apparently we're not allowed to see what it looks like! ;) (or to be more useful: "This video has been removed by the user.")

Refunct, the short and peaceful first-person platformer is now on Linux, I have some free keys for you

I'll just guess the fourth code. There are only like 2.2E23 codes. How hard can it be? ;)

Even saying nothing is an answer. It tells you it wasn't a mistake. I says that they have no clue yet what they will do. And that tells me that it wasn't a mistake, but they found themselves without an easy option to make it happen.

Anyway, I'll see it when it happens. Otherwise my time will be spent playing something else.

Parkitect alpha 5 released, has some fun medieval props, more stats tracking and better performance

About a month or two ago they hired someone from the modding community who is now doing a scenario editor. After that, you should see at least some test scenarios. Final ones will probably not come until the game is feature complete.

Pixar Film Production show off how they use Linux and OpenGL, open sourced a major tool

I don't think it was entirely clear to some people, but what was open sourced is not the actual animation software, but the back end. I'm not even sure there is a rendering engine in there. So it's not something that is usable for an artist.

I'd be really impressed if they put that Presto animation program on Github as well. But I don't really see that happening.
