Quoting: ShmerlLooks like they are in talks with GOG about releasing their titles there as well

If this does happen I will very likely join the cause of making them profitable.

When you put money into a Kickstarter campaign you are investing in an idea, not securing yourself a finished product. Like all investments these can go sour, and it really is shocking how many of the people who get involved in these schemes do not seem to understand this.

Even Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw falls under the misapprehension that crowdfunding somehow allows a game to be successful before it is even out, even though under that same logic every single AAA title from EA or Activision can be said to have been a massive success just as soon as the publisher's initial cheques start rolling in.

Perhaps it is partly the fault of websites like Kickstarter for not elaborating on this enough, but it really is not that difficult a concept to understand.

Yes, all jokes aside, I choose that answer as I have never seen the need for a gamepad. I really do not see what is all that sad about that.

Another month, another survey where I was unable to answer most of the questions because I have not bought any new games since October.

I did buy myself a new faster graphics card in the interim though. That does kind of eat into my gaming budget.

Well, to be fair, I have had something of a backlog ever since the Humble Indie Bundles started coming out, and that was over four years ago.

Quoting: liamdaweSadly, this year I shall not be out getting merry on rum as I have my little one now living with me, but it does mean I am here to post stuff.

See everyone, GOL is on record as supporting responsible parenting. ;)

I can also certainly agree with the comment about having a large gaming backlog, although in my case it does also have something to do with the fact I am increasingly having trouble finding the time and inclination to play them.

Hopefully 2015 will allow me to further reconnect with my inner gamer once more.

As was stated, the 32-bit client has not been updated yet.

Pertinent response to my support request:

Quoting: Kenneth YeastAh, that's it then. We haven't updated the 32 bit client yet, only the 64 bit. It's coming shortly.

So there is indeed a certain amount of jumping the gun going on here.

The file included in the archive does just seem to be an auto-downloader that pulls the latest version, which would of course explain the fact they have the same checksum.

Considering that not even the latest Desurium would launch properly for me before, I seriously doubt I am running the older version.
