If this day 1 Linux thing continues, I'll have to start making a gaming budget!

I wonder where it stores that consumables are consumed information. If it's local, then a thorough delete can give you another shot (which would likely result in easy to use tools). I fear it's the server based kind though. Since it needs that for its microtransaction (and drm) stuff anyway.

If only people were smart enough to NOT spend any money in the store, then that crap would die a quick death.

Sometimes these things can change very quick. It wouldn't be the first time that one of the programmers is experimenting with Linux and exports it and finds it works pretty well. It is a Unity 5 game, which is apparently not that hard to get working.

And as others have said. If it's not released, there are plenty of other games to play these days. No sense worrying about this one.

Quoting: pete910mmmm, not convinced , It uses the Denuvo DRM I belive. Thought that wasn't cross platform.

Maybe they just care less when it comes to Mac/Linux releases. Having those without Denuvo is not likely to get Windows users to install a different OS just to pirate that it.

Also, DRM is most useful for the first month or so. After that, the sales peak has gone anyway. I doubt we'll get it that soon anyway.

Looks like I wasn't the only one to check steamdb just after release ;-) It's there with depots and a configuration, so more than just a hint.

Also, that makes my invisible forum post rather pointless. How long do you get moderator queued on there for new discussions?

As I understand it, Unreal Engine only has Vulkan in the Mobile renderer yet. Which means that not all features of the engine are currently supported. Come to think of it, the list of fully released UE4 titles on Linux is pretty small as well.

I assume that Linux confirmation means that they upgraded to Unreal Engine 4 since the kickstarter.

Quoting: emphy

Quoting: grenadecxCool thing, but I've no respect for Phil Fish after his opinion about streaming content.

Anyone not following, here's an article about it:
Fez Creator Phil Fish: YouTubers Should Pay Game Devs "Huge Portion" of Revenue [External Link]

I know he is not the one porting it, but still, I suppose he gets revenue somewhere along the line.

Meh, as long as doesn't go around dmca-ing videos I couldn't care less...

If you think about it, it is actually interesting that people are allowed to put a game front to back on youtube or twitch without the consent of the creator. I'd imagine most would have no problem with it due to the exposure that it creates. But maybe form some primarily story driven games this would not be so good.

Actually, the allowed part is an assumption. I don't recall this ever having been tested. If this is actually challenged in court and ruled in favor of the creators, it could require youtubers and streamers to request approval.
