Roblox who don't care about Linux support at all while pretending that they are "testing" it.

Eh? Last I heard, they explicitly check for, and BLOCK, Wine. In other words, they went out of their way to make it NOT work. Is there something else happening now? (Not that I care personally, but it seems to be popular with kids)

you cant look to the side that much ... and still look at the screen

Right; the tech is cool, but I don't see the point. Maybe I just don't see the relevant use cases.

I thought The Forgotten City was great / agree with the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

The new Steam page doesn't give developer credit to Raven, unlike the old pages:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2360/Hexen_Beyond_Heretic/ [External Link]

Raven excelled at taking the id engines, and crafting games with better gameplay.

if we could just use publishers and devs as a tag for my collections in my library automatically

More options for automatic collections would indeed be useful.

Search box now shows the price also which i dont think it previously showed, thats nice but again it has big banners on the search list and fits less titles into it..

Comparing the search in the client versus on the web, using "blood" since "Bloody Spell" is in the screenshot (on sale cheap right now; picked it up and found it well worth the bargain price):

a) both old and new show the prices, but only the new makes it obvious when it's a sale price (useful improvement)
b) old shows 5 search results, new only shows 4 (making space for other stuff and keeping it short overall?)
c) both show a tag match and a developer match; the old shows a game count for them, so seems better to me
d) as far as I can tell, the "advanced search" button just duplicates clicking on the magnifying glass or hitting enter
e) old shows when things are in your library or wishlist, new does not

So comparing using those: new wins for a, old wins for b, c, and e, and I'd say old kind of wins for d, but since that's counted as b, we could call it a draw on that point. If they fix c and e, new search would be better.

Pretty small list of supporting games? I'm surprised they didn't get more.

Did Beamdog get folded into Aspyr due to Mythforce not selling well? Nightdive is also "related" to them now, if I remember correctly. All of them used to give us Linux ports, but all of them stopped doing so. :(

Retro games made with AGS is one thing, but actual DOS games with CGA graphics? Why? Nostalgia for existing games is one thing, but does anyone really want that for new games?

Nostalgic when you look at early posts

Wait, it started as an April Fool's joke?!?!? :D

I don't think I was reading GoL regularly back then (happypenguin.org was still a thing), but in those pre-Steam days, the Humble Indie Bundles were HUGE for Linux.
