Valve seem to be tightening their rules on games with sexual content
21 May 2018 at 4:19 pm UTC

Quoting: tuubiI think I've already bumped into a discussion of games on Steam for which you can download official "uncensor" patches from the developer's website directly. If I remember correctly, this list included HuniePop. Don't know if other stores sell "uncut" versions of these games.
I'm aware of one example, Highway Blossoms, that is on both Steam and itch as a SFW version that fades to black during the one or two sex scenes of the VN. On both stores the description links to their website for a downloadable uncensor patch. But considering the number of adult games on itch, I expect most of them are uncut by default; but maybe that's not exactly what you mean.

Rage 2 on Linux would be nice, I enjoyed the first game when I still used Windows. But yeah, Bethesda...

Quoting: EikeI'm looking forward for this! Like the topic and the style, and the co-developer and publisher Application Systems Heidelberg did the same for Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet as well. (Just seeing it's for 50% at the moment.)
Ah, I knew that name was familiar, thanks for that comment.

There's some ridiculously good Linux games on sale at the moment

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is also 50% off on Steam but the Linux build isn't out officially yet so I'm personally holding off on it. There's a beta branch though, and you can read about it in this thread.

Horizon Chase Turbo is a super smooth and fun retro-inspired racer, now out with Linux support

Quoting: tuubiWhaaat? Am I really the only one who lost interest in the NFS series after they introduced police chases in the third installment?
Police chases are about the only thing that can still make me interested in racing games for more than a few minutes, so vastly different experience here :)

That said, I don't think I've seen any other game that does it, so I don't actually own any racing game at the moment.

Party-based RPG 'Tower of Time' is now out in full and it's great

That Discord notification sound in the trailer...

I'll keep the game in the back of my head, though.

Quoting: SalvatosYou're not allowed to photocopy a paperback either

You are allowed, for your personal backup. It's called fair use.
Not necessarily if you go by TOS alone, as you did with Steam (and since laws vary from country to country, that's all we can really do given the scope of this community). One example off the top of my head (emphasis mine):
"Any reproduction or unauthorized use of the material or artwork contained herein is prohibited without the express written permission of Wizards of the Coast."

That's a contractual limitation, not digital rights management, i.e. a practical impediment. Steam's TOS is just the same.

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: ScooptaI disagree simply because once you download a game from steam(assuming it doesn't use the steam DRM) nothing stops you from making a backup of it.

Did you even follow the discussion above? You aren't allowed to do it if you are using Steam.
You're not allowed to photocopy a paperback either, that doesn't mean there's DRM in your stack of paper.

I think they still call them "tongs" in France, but that never caught on where I live.
