I just checked - I got this in the "Best of 2016" Humble Bundle, in January 2017. I bought that bundle mainly for Victor Vran and Shadowrun, and I have only 2-3 hours in Rust in total. No interest in refunding the game at this late stage, for me.

I think I've owned this for over a year since the Itch.io release - this was the game that got me interested in playing Slay the Spire actually, and I even replayed a little CardHunter via Steam Play (since it's free anyway).

Great game, easily understood mechanics, perfectly pitched difficulty and now it even has a little bit of story to keep you playing. Love it, absolutely wonderful.

Quoting: MisterPaytwickThe game feels amazing on a Steam Pad, sure you mostly use the assisted piloting but it's really nice to play it that way.

Fun fact: I never use the assisted piloting. Unless you count occasionally using "x" to perform an auto-stop, which can be useful if you've taken damage on one of your thrusters and it's misaligned beyond your ability to jury-rig it back into operation.

The manual flight controls give an incredible feeling of agency in this game. I love it.

Really good to see this confirmed again - I've been looking forward to this.

I can definitely vouch for this - great atmosphere, awesome physics and fluid gameplay. It has a few quirks, but the speed at which the developer engages on Discord and changes the game is awesome and I'm really looking forward to playing the finished article. I've already spent hours just mining and upgrading my ship.

That's a relief. I used to check the upcoming pages quite frequently until it became apparent this abuse was more and more abundant.

Such a smooth and satisfying game, but felt a bit barren and sandboxy in its first release, so I only got a couple of hours out of.it before moving on.

Can't wait to give this another shot!

As a security consultant myself, I can't believe it's 2019 and this guy didn't go through responsible disclosure. He'll get his 15 minutes of fame alright, but at the expense of his credibility for any future security work. I wouldn't touch this guy with a barge-pole, knowing that this is the attitude with which they approach their work.

Quoting: linuxcityfor those of you saying if they don't put a native i won't buy it well then you won't be buying many titles then.like i said in earlier posts proton is what is saving linux gaming.without it we would not be able to play alot of these games through steam.i know you can use wine and such but alot of people do not want to go through all that.

Fine by me. Like I note above, it's not quite that simple for me - I've bought the occasional title, mostly big AAA that most likely wouldn't never come to Linux anyway. But yeah, native is my preference. Too many issues with Proton/Steam Play.

Maybe that will change. Hopefully.

I'm happy to continue to push for native ports. So far, my Windows purchases since 2013 are:
1. Dishonoured 2 (they removed Denuvo, and it's a platinum in ProtonDB, so given my love of the first game...)
2. Doom 2016 (it was my "test Proton" game)
3. Into the Breach (disappointed I bought this - massively overhyped FTL follow up)
4. Deep Rock Galactic (epic game I have no regrets over! Rock and Stone!!)
5. Fallout 4 (in the sale, disappointed I bought this too - horrible mouse issues in Proton)

And at the weekend there, I buckled like a cheap belt and bought Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Would I buy Gloomhaven if it's Windows only? Nope. No chance. So I'll continue to wishlist and nudge developers that native is the way to go, and if it doesn't pan out - no money from me and plenty more fish in the sea. Maybe in a couple of years time Proton will be out of beta, fully supported and will run Windows games flawlessly with not a single issue. At that point, you might consider me a Windows games customer again.

But until then, 99% of my disposable income is Linux native. This month alone that's Nowhere Prophet, Space Mercs, DeltaV Rings of Saturn, Supraland, Baba is You, Gloom, Reaper, Renowned Explorers and a 4-pack of Barony.

Do I have a problem? Yes. Yes I do. But do I use my horrible addiction for the powers of good? Again, yes.

So that's something...
