Quoting: DrMcCoyI played part of the first episode back when it was released, but stopped in the middle to wait for it all to be finished. Guess I can play it now :)Not sure if RL is "Rocket League" or "Real Life", but either way, I get you.
...Once I find time to play it, that is. Curse you, RL.

Quoting: antisolwhen "viable workarounds exist" with Wine being mentioned.I definitely get this attitude, but I suppose you have to think about the end-game, which is perfect, seamless support for all Windows games, on Linux. Might be years away, but as an end-game, it's a pretty special goal. And if that "seamless" support is dependant on using Vulkan, so much the better.
This is exactly what I predicted and why proton is not a good thing. It gives devs the option to just be lazy: "Just use proton. Oh it doesn't work? Well we don't actually support it, so tough. Oh, the problem occurred 2 hours and 1 minute into the game? I guess no refund for you."

I've waiting on this one - I feel a pay day purchase coming on!

I played Act 1 all the way through in 2013 and was vagely surprised, at the end, to discover that it was a episodic release. Sadly, I never went back to it. I suppose episodic releases only really work if you can keep up momentum and stick to a schedule. There's no point in me buying Act 2 onwards now - I've long forgotten what Act I was about!

Great idea! Sadly, I'm not available tonight, but good luck to all the players that take part. I've been meaning to pick this up for ages!

Psyonix really dropped the ball on this. This is just smoke and mirrors now.

Quoting: GuestNothing to suggest it will. They've already disavowed supporting it. To continue thinking "this is fine" is incredibly naive. I mean, maybe this lets passionate players continue playing a bit longer, but it's not like they can buy any digital content anymore, knowing it can be taken away without recourse.Quoting: SolitaryQuite a lot of Epic exclusive games work through Lutris.Quoting: GuestIt works better until it doesn't.Let’s see how it goes with ProtonApparently it works better
There is nothing to suggest they will prevent Rocket League from continuing to work via proton

Well, life as a GOL contributing editor just got fun. Logged in to 16 notifications just there! :)
All great suggestions though, so the GoTY page is really shaping up. And someone's suggestion just reminded me of A Short Hike, so if it's not already added, I guess I'm about to add to that admin workload!
[Edit: It was already there. Strong work, people!]

I love the look of this one. I'm currently hooked on Fate Hunters, but this would be a welcome distraction and continues to scratch the Slay the Spire itch - a game I've played to death now.

I've been wanting to pick up Void Bastards for months, but it's Windows-only and I generally avoid buying Windows games - so this is superb... I get to give a nice chunk of cash directly to charity AND pick up a game I've wanted without a guilty conscious from buying Windows stuff. Superb!
