Got the release announcement from Steam, and then wondered why it was on my wish list. Now I understand, and have removed it from my wish list until they do a proper release.

Exactly the same here.

Quoting: kozecIt's interesting thing to find one's own application in RSS feed :)
Many thanks for your efforts! I do have one small suggestion, unrelated to the actual application. Your Fedora repo files have the version hard-coded in them, which means the one I downloaded for Fedora 24 quit working. Instead of replacing it with a new one (which I notice are separate, hard-coded for specific versions), I just changed the '24' in both places to $releasever

My respect for Patreon went up, while my respect for the developers of Persona went down. I'd heard they were good games, but I'm certainly less likely to buy any now.

Quoting: qptain Nemoif they wanted to go down this road they definitely wouldn't have open sourced .net and made it available for Linux (at least indirectly through open sourcing, I don't remember if they put any effort into compatibility themselves).
They did; they also bought Xamarin, the company behind Mono.

Soma is a great game, you should enjoy it. :)

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

Quoting: EhvisStasis- Still a few glitches remaining on the Linux build, but nothing that could keep me from finishing it. The atmosphere in this game is awesome!
I'm playing this one now; this and Cayne are nicely done. The isometric perspective is unusual for what are really adventure games, but they pull it off well.

Quoting: EhvisDeponia Doomsday - Must. Finish. Deponia!
Finished that one recently. A great series! Played the originals under WINE (cutscenes were a little choppy in the audio, but otherwise worked perfectly); one of these days I will have to go back and play the "Complete Journey" natively.
