Supraland is leaving GOG after less than a year, dev says sales were low

Butthurt & ragequit?
QuoteGoing onto GOG I expected maybe something like 10% of Steam, but it's more like 1%. Same with releasing a Linux version. It's all worth so little for us that it's rather annoying to have to do the extra work all the time and carry that weight around. I wouldn't do it again.
-1% here and -1% there, it's -2% already. Later the developer could find that every localization brings only +1% of sales and drop it too. I think shrinking their audience is the most stupid thing a manufacturer can do. Gaben does everything to expand Steam, and that's why he is a billionaire. The Supraland dev is just yet another Phil Fish (does anyone remember him?)

The game is good though, despite runs with poor performance and crashes too often. I should propably try Proton for it.

itch.io has a huge bundle going to support 'Racial Justice and Equality'

Quoting: RafiLinuxThat is exactly how the bundle is designed. You can pick which one to add to your library as you see fit.
In order to add a game I must find it first somewhere on 25 pages of listed games without an ability to sort them or to search by title name or even to jump onto a specific page.

Is there a way to add a specific game to my library without the need to dig into pages of shovelware?

WRATH: Aeon of Ruin to officially launch in February 2021
5 June 2020 at 6:23 am UTC

It takes three months for the WRATH developers to create a single level. There are 4 levels so far. They want to make 15. I don't see how it's going to be released in February 2021 without cutting out levels and/or their size. 2024 sounds more sensible.

QuoteThe developer quickly changed the asset name but there's another problem, as Steam won't update just because file case changed.
Does that mean that Steam servers run on Windows?

Ugh, cheating software...

Serious Sam 4 announced for August, confirmed for Stadia (updated)

Quoting: GuestThey're showing they care about two evil corporations that only care about money and the ultimate form of DRM rather than the free and open world that has supported them.

So disappointed with Croteam.
Don't be overdramatic. I'm sure they will port SS4 to Linux eventually. Croteam used to support Linux well so far. They were one of the first developers who ported their game (SS3) on Linux just after one month Steam for Linux appeared. And the first developers whose game ran on Vulkan.
At least SS4 isn't EGS exclusive.

I want Linux, not Stadia. I hope it wouldn't take them too long to release a Linux version.

Quoting: slaapliedjeTo be fair though, the Switch IS Linux, just not x86...
It's based on FreeBSD, just like PS4.
