Vehicle battle game 'Robocraft' is now completely lootbox-free

I wonder how many more games developers are going to change their business models in a similar fashion. For a change, I expect this is the result of people voting with their feet.

Now Feral can put the same teaser back up for their next Radar Teaser - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - seeing as it matches the clue so well. =P

Quoting: Ray54Can I assume that Serious Sam Classics: Revolution would give me HD TFE and HD TSE under fusion (even if other parts of Revolution may not work) or do I need to buy HD TFE and TSE separately?
No, Revolution is completely different project from another developer, it won't give access to any Fusion's content. To play SSHD in Fusion, you need to buy HD TFE and TSE on Steam.
I think that I am mostly there in getting HD TFE working, as my Steam library entry for Serious Sam Fusion now has 3 items: The First Encounter, flat support and BFE. However, when I start Fusion it automatically goes into BFE. I was expecting a menu in Fusion giving me an option of First Encounter or BFE (as I have no separate First Encounter game listed in Steam)?

As I already had Fusion when I bought the combined First Encounter and Fusion package today, Steam did not re-download Fusion. Do I need to re-install Fusion every time I add a new Fusion compatible game?
My experience with this is "no", you shouldn't need to get the Fusion component more than once.

Quoting: KelsSo you're a smart bunch, having chosen Linux and all. So let me pose a brain-teaser to you.

If I were to buy only one Serious Sam game, which would it be?
Fusion
Fusion can't be bought directly. It's included with the games that are supported by it.

As for choice, what razing32 said. Depends on taste. Although, with these prices there's little reason to actually choose one. Other than a thought experiment. :D
I have a budget that tends to approach zero, so I normally can't justify spending more than a few bucks on games here and there.
I'd buy the full bundle...

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/2634/Serious_Sam_Complete_Pack/ [External Link]

It is currently 87% off. Virtually all of it runs on Linux thanks to Fusion. I have bought it twice over myself. 87% off is a Serious Fewking Discount.

If not that, then SS 3: BFE is the most up to date FPS, until SS4 comes out (Spooge!).

Well, I'm happy to get my hands on the GOG DRM-Free download version, but owned this game on Steam anyway. I'm quite a fan of Ziggurat. It has procedurally generated levels, which gives it decent replayability. Lots of different monsters, which change from dungeon floor to dungeon floor (i.e. you get more advanced types on later floors). Also the end-of-floor bosses are different per game-run. Liking the weapon variety and upgrade variety too. Unlocking the extra game playable characters is an incentive to keep on coming back, too.

It is difficult, and I rarely complete a full run to the end. Normally I meet my maker on Floor 2 or 3.

Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass has new screenshots and a much bigger world

This is practically the top new game release that I'm looking forward to, on Linux. This makes up for Doom and Shadow Warrior 2 not being on Linux.

Day one purchase, assuming the Linux release coincides with the Windows release. And I'm happy to trust that Croteam will do a fantastic job of it. Hey, I might even buy the T-shirt ;)

Kerr-ching! Just bought a copy. On Humble store = DRM-Free Download + Steam key.

One review I read suggested people who like FTL and Darkest Dungeon would probably appreciate this too. (Well, I'm nuts for FTL, heh.)

Looks like a Linux version of Bounty Train is coming

Also noting that most of the games in the Humble Daedalic Bundle 2018 are DRM-Free Downloads on Humble too. Some include Soundtracks as well (and separate Steam keys for Soundtracks).

This is good news for me - Full Bundle purchaser. Bounty Train and Witch It both look likely to come to Linux.

Beep boop the Feral Interactive port radar has a UFO sighting for a new Linux port

Either a fantastic find or an extraordinary coincidence. Yes, I double-took at the album cover and spotted "The face paint and headpiece" too.

Can't imagine many Mastermind winners would have matched these clues together.
