Thank you. You help(ed) me find new interesting games I would otherwise miss and also overcome technical difficulties. Keep it up, please :-)
I hope even my meager Liberapay donations help a little...

Quoting: fagnerlnAh, and talking about drugs, I bet that mostly of you in the comments support the "free drugs" movement. "People are free to use any drug they want, because they 'own' yourselves, but gambling, nah, please government, save them", ironic

Ironically, you pointed at the difference between adults and kids yourself in the very same posting...

The adult is responsible for the children, not the government, is that hard to get?

I known a boy that used their father's credit card, ONCE. The father explained to him that this is a bad thing. Maybe if the father spent some time with the kid, maybe this didn't happened the first time.

You are so incredibly naive and narrow minded, I'm genuinely amazed.

I've seen first-hand how gambling can ruin an adult's life, just as much as a child.

So, because some are irresponsible, we all need to be supervised? Sorry, no. I like my freedom (even to do stupid things). It's my life and my money. And I don't even like games with microtransactions, loot boxes, ...
And yeah, government is like mafia. Probably worse, mafia takes your money and then leaves you alone (mostly). Government takes your money and with it tells you what you can (and can't!) do, how to behave, what to do with your life... I'm a human, not an ant or Chinese. I grew up in socialism and the West is going that way right now with all this bullshit. Sad.
Sorry for that, I'll try to refrain from politics, it's a website about games.

Perhaps one of these will be a good time to check out some cheap games from Windows-only developers for use in Steam Play?

Ultra yuck. Very ultra yuck.

+1. I'm supporting Linux games, not Windows games. And there's already too many good Linux games in my library I don't have time to play.

Quoting: TetsF1 2017 does not run. It spits some message about a bug in my nvidia driver (same as Hitman that runs fine) and then nothing, stops running.
Tried to run it from terminal, but nope:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/F1 2017] $ ./F12017.sh 
WARNING: F1 2017 not launched within the steam runtime

Any ideas? Is it the bug in the driver?

F1 2017 uses Vulkan API only so you'll need the Nvidia proprietary driver v384.90 or better.

Thanks! That is it - I have driver version 390.42, but my system is compiled without Vulkan support. Time to recompile all the related packages :-)

Yeah, few weeks back I realized that your site is full of useful reviews and info and saved my time (and money), so I created a Liberapay account just for supporting Gaming on Linux (not much, just Euro/week, sorry). I "don't care about any special extras" :-) :-D
Thank you for your great work!

I'll wait. The "system requirements" section on the store page still have "Additional Notes: You must install GLIB 2.28 in order to run JavaFX Media."
