On a side note, I wish there were an easier way to trade Steam keys; steamtrades.com seems so cumbersome. At least steamgifts.com is easy...

Quoting: MrNilssonThanks for your detailed recommendations. I put the most games on my wishlist.If you are interested in a Steam key for Deponia: the Complete Journey (essentially the first 3 games rolled together), send me a PM.

One of these days, I'll get around to Thimbleweed Park; made by a former LucasArts developer, so I'm sure it's good. ;)

Steam said I already own Bendy and the Ink Machine (probably some prior bundle). However, it says the executable is missing; in fact, installing it just yielded an empty directory here. Is it working for anyone else?
Edit: verifying integrity in Steam says everything is good, so it must be an empty depot or something.
Edit 2: maybe I just had the demo, and they screwed up when they merged everything together:

RetroArch, the front-end app for emulators and more is heading to Steam

I suppose having an alternative to the bundled emulator is useful sometimes. After all, steam-dos is nicer than using SteamPlay for the various Doom games (native DOSBox instead of Windows version of DOSBox through WINE).

Quoting: HoriBut I'd much rather have Steam with this functionality built in, like Steam Play.The steam-dos project has shown it is possible integrate with the compatibility tools, but that's only useful if there are games sold on Steam with ROMs. Are there many, besides the Sega Classics that already come with an emulator?

Also worth mentioning, if you enjoy any of the classic DOS games that are only "supported" on Windows, is steam-dos, which hooks nicely into the Steam compatibility tool selection:

There's also a nice GreaseMonkey script, which adds the ProtonDB ratings on the Steam game pages:

Quoting: bekoFedora next?Nope, they will not include proprietary bits by default. It's well supported via RPMFusion though.

Looks like I have the original game on Steam, which made me think about a cool project: a Steam compatibility tool that would auto-download the latest open source engine and launch the game with that.
It would be similar to dreamer's steam-dos project:
https://github.com/dreamer/steam-dos [External Link]
But rather than launching DOSBox, it would have to support specific games/engines.
