I’m glad there’s a demo because this looks like it might be a bit too technical for me but I’m still quite intrigued and willing to try it out.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: SalvatosI don’t know what Sui, Web3 or Playtron are, but I like how the shoulder buttons seem to be labelled to be readable by people not using the device.

Just like the tops of seemingly all laptops in the world - to my never-ending irritation.

Ah, that one makes sense to me since you can't be looking at the top of a laptop while using it (plus there's no need to since it's just a brand logo).

Not the type of game I would play, but I sure loved watching the crazy stuff people came up with on YouTube. This ought to inspire more craziness :happy:

Quoting: slackSorry, I see it differently. It's one thing what you think you're buying and another thing what you're paying for. In my opinion, you can never buy a game because it will always be the property of its creator. In reality you are only paying for the legitimate right to use it, with permission of its creator. You cannot resell it, nor rent it, nor make any business with that right without the permission of the creator of the game.

Are renting games (that worked at release) and reselling physical copies (that were fully playable from disk) already gone from people’s memories? The always-online model isn’t a fundamental requirement of video games. It’s a symptom of the greed and lower quality standards of today’s industry.

You don’t own the IP, but you sure should own your copy of it just like books, music and films.

TT's Wonderlands did seem surprisingly cheap at the latest Steam sale. I wonder if Embracer wanted to get as many sales as possible before handing the IP over. But maybe it's just older than I realize and/or hasn't sold enough to justify keeping a high price.

If I'm not confusing it with something else, the worm is probably my favorite thing in the game, and the turtle is confusing but fun, so I do recommend people try them out :P

I bought this game for a friend and remote played with him a couple times, really really fun to mess around in. Glad to see that it will continue to be taken care of.

Good, good. I have my eye on this one, but I want to give it more time in the oven. Them paying attention to Steam Deck should ensure that it runs well on Linux in general as well :)

Quoting: BlackBloodRumdon't you find it ironic devs will turn around and say "We won't provide a Linux build because the Linux market is too small!" followed by "We are blocking Linux because there are too many people on Linux cheating!". Well, make up your mind because both sets of the OS's cheaters are a small subset of that OS's users.

Not really, no, since both metrics have different target numbers (as few cheaters as possible, as many buyers as possible). If Linux as a platform is bringing in a disproportionate amount of cheaters while providing a disproportionately low amount of income, it’s entirely logical to say that the market is too small to invest in it and has too many problematic users to keep supporting it in spite of it not being particularly profitable.

Quoting: CatKillerall they needed - and what someone experienced with community management would do - is just give a "thanks for testing our game, you guys are great!" and maybe some blurb about how great the game is and how they made it.

Hm, yes, if there's one thing people here love it's corporate-approved platitudes that don't address their feedback.

You must be reading mitridas's posts in a vastly different tone than I am, because from here it looks like you are grossly overreacting. Their initial question may have been somewhat tone deaf, but to be fair, we do have people here who only play libre games.
