Switching CPU governor from ondemand to performance could be very useful for running games on APU.

Quoting: GuestSomeone gave me boxed version of that game when it came out and I never got around to installing it. I wonder if the serial would work for Steam.HL2 was and still Steam-only, so it will work.

Quoting: Grim85Didn't they have a Beta of their Minecraft Story, and it never got publicly released?That probable because I drop this letter to dev:
Hello, Dave!I also asked if they using SDL2, and the answer was:
Is there plans to port other Telltale titles? Like Back to the Future, Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, etc.?
I personally not interested in Minecraft at all, but would be happy to buy some other Telltale games (for example listed above) if this games will be ported.
We are indeed using SDL2. =)Anyway, Walking Dead will be instabuy for me, just like Life is Strange.
Thanks for your interest.

Win32 considered legacy even on Windows (UWP is new shiny thing) so if you hate WINE, you could also hate PCSX or DOSBox for same reasons.
As for WINE ports - I actually prefer to VP get money for eON ports (if Feral or Aspyr porting is not an option for developers).

I don't think this is good idea. Wouldn't it will be better to ask game developers fix their engine?
I also pretty sure someday they will decide to update their engine, probably require higher OpenGL version, discover that Mesa for some reason report 3.2 to the game while support 4.5 or 4.6, they could make another workaround, instead of fixing thing right way, or straight declare Mesa as unsupported driver.

The story of grey market G2A worsens, I really do recommend to stay away

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThat is something that Steam, Humble, Greenman, GOG, etc will NEVER NEVER NEVER do because, unlike G2A, they don't understand how the real economy works outside their bubble...Actually you can pay on Steam and GOG with Yandex.Wallet or QIWI Wallet (Russian electronic cash wallets) and you can pay with Bitcoin on Humble Store. So they do support local payment methods besides usual VISA/MasterCard/PayPal, but probably not for all countries.
