Quoting: Linux_RocksStill not about to weep for Valve if they lose. lol

This is such a strange attitude to bring to a Linux forum. I don't get it.

I suppose if you only do native gaming, perhaps only buying on GOG and Itch, and so you don't benefit at all from Proton, and don't care about, or for, Valve as a company, that's a valid stance. Even then, you're overlooking the effects of groundswell they've created for Linux by shipping the Steam Deck and promising a Steam Machine, or pushing SteamOS. That groundswell is a big part of why indies still push out Linux builds, from which you benefit.

But I guess if you can overlook all that, AND you don't use Steam ever, then you won't care if Valve are forced to put ID verification in Steam?

But that's a lot of overlooking. And hardly a lol moment.

Pure greed. Plain and simple. Just a bunch of copyright trolls.

Why be paid for our music once when we can bully storefronts to be paid for the exact same effort multiple times!?

I hope Valve decimate them in this case. Sincerely.

It's Capcom, so, Denuvo encumbered, which is a shame, as this is another title I'd definitely buy otherwise.

Only played a couple of hours of the first one - I remember enjoying it, but (as usual) was distracted by other games of the time. In this case, from my Steam "last played", it was Rise of the Tomb Raider! Or it could have been MidBoss, Welcome to Basingstoke, or possibly... indeed likely... Gunpoint.

Goddam, in fact, straight after Gunpoint, there was Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, and then one of my favourite games of all time - Transistor. No wonder I never went back to this!

Anyway, it's an easy wishlist.

Absolutely wild trailer. That felt like an 80's fever dream.

I appreciate that I'm in a minority here, but DRM has never been about performance for me. It's been about respecting your customers and not treating them like criminals. It's about giving your customers a better experience than the pirates. It's about acknowledging that even when DRM works... the pirates wouldn't be buying your game anyway. It's not a lost sale. Or at least not meaningful lost sales. Certainly not lost sales to the tune of a one-off £250K fee, and £25K a month.

So this is a maybe for me now. I've ignored all the RE games of late, because they've been encumbered. Might have to bring myself up to date and play catch up.

This is absurd:

it is important to note that Valve’s promotion of games that glorify violence and guns helps fuel the dangerous epidemic of gun violence, particularly among young gamers who can become numbed to grave violence before their brains are fully developed.

Quoting this tired trope from the early 2000 [External Link]'s is bizarre and ill considered.

Sure, go after loot boxes, they're rotten to the core, mostly. Although as someone has already pointed out, it would be nice to see some consistency - also get rid of Magic the Gathering packs, Pokemon packs, Pannini packs, or anything else that's marketed to kids that is a lottery.

Quoting: ItsRainingSomewhere

There's fixes for the Discover software centre with Flatpaks

I've come across random weird issues with this on my Fedora KDE boxes. Sometimes the Flathub source is listed under Settings, sometimes its not, sometimes its not listed and packages still update normally. It's hit or miss. Noticed it first on 6.5, but seems to be better/normal/fixed now on 6.6.

What distro are you on? The issue I had with any distro that wasn't Arch-based was that Plasma was typically at least one major version out of date! Even Siduction, which is based on Debian Sid, tended to be months behind the release schedule.

Honestly looks like about 75% of contributions mention Linux support. Maybe more - incredible support from the penguins. On the back of that response I hope they devote some time to the Linux version instead of just shoving out untested builds.
