Quoting: PatolaI would surely like a service where I could track and be recalled of all these games which are not out yet and do not have a steam/gog/itch/whatever page where I could just wishlist it. This one seems amazing, and also looked to me a bit like The Dark Mod.

This one is on Steam, I have it on wishlist since february. But I know what you mean, sometimes some games happen to fall through the cracks.

Quoting: KelsI don't know if I've ever seen a game give away so many keys. That's what, the second hundred batch that's gone through GoL alone?

I think third.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI heard there is a vulnerability in RSA and it should be switched away from. Of course for WINE compatibility it makes sense to have it no matter what.

What vulnerability? Did not hear anything, as far as I know RSA is still good, because otherwise that would be huge news.

Quoting: rea987Well, I'll give them couple more years and pretty sure the end result would exceed the original game. :-)

Does it not already?

Quoting: SolitaryI don't think ChromeOS is much of a thing in Europe in general, I don't know anyone that bought one. Correct me if I am wrong.

Are Chromebooks even available in Europe? Maybe in some of the western countries, but certainly not where I live.

Stores sell Acer Chromebooks in Czech republic. They also did offer Samsung and probably others as well few years ago, but I guess they stopped (probably not many people bought them).

Quoting: EikeWhile it looks nice, turning right (or was it left?) until you arrive where you want to go doesn't make a puzzle game. Keyboard/mouse control was awful, and the computer generated voice would have been better left out. No, just no.

I don't think the voice is computer generated, but rather backward talking played in reverse (for example like Twin Peaks).

Quoting: fabertaweI'm really interested in this one. I will assess the pros and cons of DLC etc only after the Linux release.

Quoting: SolitaryJust look what they did to Shadow of War (sequel to Shadow of Mordor). I don't even care if they port it or not, it's shameful.

What happened exactly? I don't follow gaming news in general, i.e. Windows/consoles, only Linux related, so I wouldn't know.

As Leopard already said, they added loot boxes and microtransactions... in a single player game. So you can basically pay them to not have to play (grind?) the game. That alone raises so many questions about the gameplay itself. Some people will of course defend it (as always) that you can unlock everything by playing (this is official excuse), which might be true for some period of time when most people will play the game, most of the reviews will be created and most money will come in. Who knows how will the balancing be by the time Linux gamers get their hands on this (if ever)... it might be grindfest to milk the few whales that keep playing and idiots like us. These shitty anti-consumer practices are staple of triple-A gaming industry and it's also why I am unhappy with the direction this game (We happy few) is taking.

Quoting: SolitaryToo bad this kickstarted indie title became another "AAA" game after deal with Gearbox, now with pre-order bonuses, season passes and hiked up price.

How is their price hiked exactly? Their previous price was in-development one, so naturally release price will be higher (since they released their last in development version before the final release if I understand correctly). If you didn't expect the higher price in the end, you just had incorrect expectations. If you just consider their final price to be unfairly high - that's a different matter, and more a matter of opinion already.

For the reference, you can have backed the game during crowdfunding to get the best price for it.

Higher price is fine, but accompanying it with pre-orders, season pass (without even mentioning single DLC), (and in some cases, hopefully not this one, microtransactions) is what creates the stink. I am more than willing to pay full 50-60€ prices, I have no problem with that, money itself are no issue, but if it's the full price, sell me (mostly) everything, don't milk me like I am an idiot or something.

Just look what they did to Shadow of War (sequel to Shadow of Mordor). I don't even care if they port it or not, it's shameful. I just hope people here won't be blindly defending it, because we need big titles. That would be sad day.

It's not instantly a bad thing. For one, this could easily turn out to be one of the best new games released for Linux when it arrives, instead of being a smaller indie title. We do need bigger popular titles to help push us forward after all.

Even though this game might be good, I seriously doubt it will make any dent, it is yet another survival game. Yes, we need big popular titles, but I don't think this is the way to do it. I don't think bad triple-A practices is what will save us. Greed is what usually kills the game in the end, because in this type of business, it's always money first.
