I'd been tempted when it was on sale on Fanatical recently, so I couldn't resist Dead Island 2 Ultimate for $7.

I assume the first video on the Steam page is the same as the YouTube trailer; YouTube seems to be actively hostile to non-Chrome browsers yet again.

I don't know when they started doing projects like this.

It's been a decade of it:

To add another wrinkle - how about a Flatpak that manages AppImages? :grin:

Once games didn't need to come on disks developers basically stopped caring.

In the days of games that spanned multiple CDs, like Tex Murphy for example, they would duplicate some assets so that you wouldn't have to change discs as often. There was a tangible benefit to that. Duplicating GBs of data on a HDD to reduce seeking sounds pretty asinine; who benchmarked an improvement when doing that, and how long ago?

Millennium + Extendium looks very enticing, for adding SteamDB, Augmented Steam, and ProtonDB Peek functionality into the Steam client. Does anyone have experience (positive or negative) they can share? I don't want to break Steam. :grin:

1500th Capcom bundle, you say? :grin:

Perhaps I misinterpreted, but I got the impression that the Steam Frame could run "some" low-end Win32 games (via Proton and FEX), and Android games, but was intended to stream anything higher-end from something more powerful (like the Gabecube).

people who wanted to see the ending, but not play through all levels

If you don't want to play through the game, just watch the ending on YouTube?

Are there any game studios that have embraced, or even half-heartedly supported, Windows on ARM64? To me, it looks like one of those "nobody wants to do it because nobody is doing it".

Edit: OK, there's a list. Looks like they are mostly casual mobile/tablet style games, and for ARM not ARM64:
