Quoting: Guesthow exactly is Tencent "shady"? They are one of the most hands off publishers on the market. If anything, thats a boon for techland

The fact that they interfere so little is part of the 'shady' bit, even if it seems like a better approach than what EA and others are doing. But if a company (seemingly) only throws money somewhere without any obvious motivation and action behind it, one starts to wonder what those motivations might be. Best case: they are the only company that is fine with a positive ROI instead of being greedy and striving to squeeze out every last bit of (im)possible growth. But it's hard to believe such a company exists...

I get the need for publishers/investors. But i won't pretend it is a good idea to consolidate the whole market into two or three big players. And that is not even considering the shady nature of Tencent. So...thumbs down from me...

This should be exactly the game for me. But unfortunately the demo never really clicked for me - i like the flight model and the atmosphere, but the rest didn't get me. One of these days i'll maybe find the time to try and watch some tutorial video ^^

But the accessibility really isn't it's strong point ;)

Nevertheless, congratulations to 1.0, thanks for supporting Linux and respect for keeping at it! :D

I really liked the demo and plan on grabbing it some day (i try to limit my purchases to games i immediately plan to play and rather strip down my pile of shame ^^) - but of course i wouldn't object winning a key :)

I like the design, but even though i'm not one to cheap out on the case, 329$ really is too steep. Maybe i'm missing some key feature that would justify it, but comparing it for example to the new BeQuiet 901 for around the same price (that i already find a bit overpriced) doesn't leave many points in favor of the nebula.
I'm also not too sure about the whole airflow thing and if the side grills have filters and so on...

we’ll keep testing new updates with Proton to make sure it keeps working for the upcoming patches and releases.

THIS is actually what i would expect from all devs if they don't want to maintain a native version.
With such an official statement, i'm perfectly fine in just using the proton version tbh ^^

Quoting: Loftybtw as a reminder don't forget you can further restrict flatpak's with flatseal

I really like Flatpak for exactly the reason that it makes sandboxing stuff (especially proprietary things like games, but of course other things, too) so easy and convenient.
BUT i would almost go as far as not saying 'you CAN further restrict' but to say 'you SHOULD look into flatseal (or the like).
It's not as common as some flatpak-critiques make it sound, but there are indeed more than enough apps that just request full access to the filesystem or the home directory - so checking and adjusting (at least!) file access after installation is almost a must in my eyes!

In an ideal world, employee ownership would be the norm - so good luck to them!

So basically they are launching the more or less already obsolete one now, hope for enough stupid folks to buy that and release the one with enough memory to not be immediately obsolete a few months later to get the money of the slightly less stupid folks...
Oh Nvidia...
