So how does Auto Chess work? Is Drodo a person or a company?

I'm kind of sad this isn't full 3D as it would make a gorgeous environment to explore. Worth a look at release anyway. That music is beautifully haunting and they seem to have a solid theme.

Quoting: kuhpunktMeanwhile Epic completely fucks up their sale?

https://kotaku.com/publishers-pull-their-games-from-epics-store-during-its-1834828248 [External Link]

They made the sales and not the developers/publishers? That's nuts.

Sweet, sweet Epic fuck-ups.

Quoting: iwantlinuxgames

Quoting: Salvatos.(snip) Although I would feel bad leaving my computer on just for that. Maybe that will finally convince me to install Folding@home [External Link] and run it in my absence.

you turn your computer off????? o_O

I don't see why I should let it just waste electricity when I'm not using it.

Quoting: F.UltraThere is always Wake-On-Lan

Interesting, but I can't see myself setting this all up. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

They finally did remote play? Awesome. I'll finally be able to run games on computers that don't have a dedicated GPU and without having to download them first when I visit family for a few days. Although I would feel bad leaving my computer on just for that. Maybe that will finally convince me to install Folding@home [External Link] and run it in my absence.

Quoting: MohandevirThey did the build but won't publish it... They paid for the Linux development anyway, but won't start to make it profitable by taking profit from Linux customers... Just... doesn't... make... sense. 1-2% of marketshare is still better than 0$... Must have failed my maths courses.

Could be they're wary of support costs outweighing the sales.

Quoting: razing32I have to get to playing both 1 and 2
Damn my backlist is huge

I want to play Tyranny before I buy PoE 2. And I want to play the White March expansions from PoE first. Considering the length of those games, I'm not about to get to it!

Quoting: EagleDelta

Quoting: Salvatos

Quoting: EagleDeltaNothing really PR about it (other than the careful wording). The day-to-day prioritization of tasks/issues is very much a normal thing in development. All Dev decisions are weigh against impact, business need, risk, and so many other factors and prioritized based on that.

They essentially confirmed that they had paused support by neither saying nor denying it but vaguely qualifying Garry's claim and saying there are no long-term plan changes, which was never the subject. If that's not PR talk...

They could have been transparent and said something like "Yes, Linux support is currently on hold while our teams have their hands full with X and Y, but once that's cleared things will be back to normal."

Qualifying Garry's claim, maybe, but that "short term pause" may be for a single 2-week sprint (assuming that use that kind of dev process). We do that in development all the time.... we have to do that or very little would ever get done as we'd always get peppered with ad-hoc work.

I'm not saying they shouldn't pause, just that there's no reason to dance around the issue and release such a non-statement. That just makes them look shady.

Quoting: devnull

Quoting: SalvatosThat's not what I read:

[...] you download or access via Steam [...]

Valve does NOT have rights over you for titles not purchased on Steam nor accessed outside Steam. They DO have control of their platform.

Yes, obviously?
