Does this mean that they view their Desura releases to have been successes?

Desura to more clearly label third-party DRM

Quoting: liamdaweWhile we are at it, I hate their comment system with the weird tree view with comments all out of place, I much prefer the standard one after the other.
What I would find to be better is if they adopted the model YouTube uses of having tree-view comments with specific places for uploader responses (very useful), top comments (less useful on Desura, but why not), and the like as it would at the very least makes things more organized. As it stands they can get a bit messy, I grant you.

Desura to more clearly label third-party DRM
26 May 2013 at 4:22 pm UTC

As far as I know the only games on Desura for Linux that have DRM are some of the LGP titles (Cold War does not) and the games that are merely store-fronts for Steam keys, such as the ones I have listed in the article. The great majority are DRM free, but that is why it is so important for these corner-cases to be better labelled.

Quoting: SuperuserDamn it Icculus! You and your vague promises and your broken port of Killing Floor (on NVIDIA GPUs only). I'm glad I didn't buy RO2 in advance.
Hey, be careful there. Don't dis a man who has done more for Linux gaming than most other individuals combined. ;)

Quoting: muntdefemsThe Humble Double Fine Bundle finished yesterday, having grossed moren than a million and a quarter dollars from more than 150,000 sales. Quite a respectable figure but it could have done better, some might argue.
Hey, how dare you reference me in context, you fiend you. :P

You want us to trust you again Epic? Actually pay Ryan Gordon to release his UE3 port. Then maybe we can talk. Sorry, do I sound a little bit jilted? :P

Humble Double Fine Bundle launches, we were right!

The over 8 GB download is also a little bit daunting.

Steam's April hardware survey shows poor Linux statistics!

I have a more academic question - what actually attracted you to this website? I am not asking to try and dispute your complaint by this, but I am genuinely curious why someone would go onto a website that honestly believes in Linux games just so you can try and write them off. You are entitled to express that opinion, but I am a bit at a loss why you bothered to be here in the first place.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is now in Open Beta for Linux!

Quoting: berarmaI'm amazed at the number of new games getting fullscreen right. Multimedia controls, Alt-Tab switch, activities overview, all working. Same with the Double Fine titles.
Not with Psychonauts they don't. Still, do these titles use SDL2? I had heard that it has a lot of those kinds of fixes.
