I'm glad to see GOG doing well. I still pick up a few games from them but a lot of my money has been going to itch.io. I did recently pick up 3 games from GOG 2 of which were Linux native and one that was not but it's platinum with regular wine so it's all good.

If they bring Galaxy to Linux, I'm sure many would be happy but I don't want any launchers on my hardware.

I just junked my account. It's been awhile since I used the service and the games that I did have with them no longer get updates. Backed up my games and called it a day. It was fun while it lasted.

Quoting: GuestHumble used to be something quite different, and I stopped being terribly interested in it quite a while ago. Sure I've made the odd purchase, but rarely for games and instead ebooks.

Equally I'm not jumping up & down about it. It once was something I liked, now it's not, and that's really about it. Meh.

I much prefer to use patreon, itch.io, and purchases directly from developers these days.

I feel the same way. I've been buying more and more from itch.io. They have a lot of DRM FREE titles I can not find anywhere else and many of their online MP games work in linux as is.

Man. I am down for this. Most of my library is local MP and while online gaming is decent I really miss playing the games I like with my ppl. Parsec was good but no way to host on Linux. Steam Remote Play is OK but does not work all the time the last time I tried. Hamachi was been more and more difficult to get new ppl get on with. RetroArch's MP is also OK but does not work all the time. I also tried Antstream but did not have the library of games that I own and played all the time when my ppl and I were able to get together.

As a person who's not played an RPG like this in decades which one is the most new player friendly to get?

I still have a bunch of their games still in the box. Keen and Duke were a bunch of fun. I will check out their offerings as they hit GOG or itch.io.

Jupiter Hell - GOG

That new update got me playing a lot more but I did have two crashes while starting up. Never crashed before. Not sure how to do any of the logs to help the devs out. Will dig into the readme and what not when I have more time.

Feudal Alloy - GOG

This has been a lot of frustrating fun. 2D souls like hand drawn sci-fantasy game which has silly elements. I'm feeling it. I'm 30% towards completing it.

Zombie Army: Dead War - Stadia

Mowing down zombies with friends is always great! I started playing this with a gamepad recently which has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. My trusty Logitech F310 has been knocking out all of my gaming needs to the point that my KB and M feel neglected.

This game has been such a great purchase for me.

Quoting: kneekooIt's only 1 month for me, so it's either over or something's off.

By the time you posted it was still up. I managed to help 17 ppl from my family and friends to activate it around that time.

The Legion group stated they will restock the codes soon.

Quoting: SirKatarSo the code worked for me, but it declined 3 different credit cards.
speaking to Google support and they want me to upload government ID and prove who i am!?

like wut!?

i only wanted to try it out, not apply for some kinda google citizenship!

The only CC and gift card I heard getting denied was American Express which seems to be the case with GOG also. I used gift cards to start my account back in April of 2020 not sure if they changed anything since then but you can try that. It has to have at least $1.00 on it.

Quoting: jkaartDo not work me!
Is this new users only?

Nope. Been using Stadia since April of 2020 and I've gotten 4 of these types of codes and they always worked.
