Quoting: williamjcmI've heard a few horror stories about Mattermost, especially from bot developers, and Element is just a client for Matrix, a chat protocol that's so focused on security that they forgot to implement safety features (like banning/muting accounts and servers).

I don't know about banning servers specifically, but banning or muting users/accounts is already available.
Where do you get that from?

Quoting: tohurI will give Blizzard one thing.. their anti-cheat is mostly server side and the bits client side doesn't require kernel access and should be the standard way to implement anti-cheat as they do with their Warden setup

Yeah I agree, even if I forgot about it... but at the time I was playing Diablo III on Linux I never had issues on that side, what a pleasure! Even though I don't like their constant internet connection DRM.

Quoting: CyrilWhat is "silly" is what they did to Overwatch (the first one). I think I will never understand that move.
And about Blizzard as a whole, where is Warcraft IV? WoW II? Starcraft III?

You won't be getting a Warcraft IV ever; that's what World of Warcraft was/is.

But... it's not, WoW isn't an RTS and never will. We can't reduce a game solely on its lore, it's bullshit.
Don't you think it's sad?

Even without the shortages I wasn't really optimistic (if the perfs aren't better than a console released 5 years ago, whith a higher price, what's the point? Who would want to buy that outside our niche?), but now it's even worse... It's really a curse.
The good thing that remains is all the software (Proton etc), it won't go anywhere and will continue to improve. But without the (a good one) Steam Machine the hope to see improvements in other aspects: Linux adoption gain and Anti-cheats mainly is pretty dead.

Quoting: HamishI actually came across this game just the other day while looking into something else. The GOG.com version does not have the patch yet but they usually take longer to get it so.

It's worse that just a delay... The macOS and Linux releases on GOG didn't get any updates since 2019!
That's what I was talking about, we always hear the excuse of "it's because GOG Galaxy isn't on Linux", but what's the excuse for the macOS download then?
I don't think we'll ever see them.

On the topic still, what a changelog thought!

I don't use Google for searches, I stopped doing that many years ago, or anything actually, except watching some videos from Youtube with third-party clients.

Hope we'll see it on GOG as the previous!

Quoting: CaldathrasYet, I am not sure this is entirely GOG's fault. Oftentimes, it seems like the developer is slower to update their Linux packages on GOG than they are on Steam.

It's still GOG's fault. Other platforms got to use the Galaxy SDK to handle uploads and updates; Linux builds they had to use manual FTP and wait for it to be approved on GOG's side. They improved the process somewhat after a number of years, but it's still not as good publishing Linux builds as for other platforms.

Steam just has the same build and update pipeline for all platforms.

You would know better than I would. I see your point...

I understand, and agree, with CatKiller's point, it's like GOG provides a "boring" way to do it for Linux builds...
But still, there really are devs that don't give a single damn, and not just about the Linux builds but GOG as a whole sometimes. And that's not acceptable whatsoever.
GOG should really do something about this issue...
