Might have been an issue with marketing tbh - never heard of it before but would surely have given it a go looking at the Steam page (if it still had a future that is...)

Soon, you'll be an adult ;)

Happy Birthday and thank you for all your continued efforts! :)

Two stupid DRM-Layers and the new, braindead EULA (including bans for VPNs, Mods, VMs and very broad data-siphoning) are already more than enough to give the middlefinger instead of money.
The pricing is just the icing on the cake..

tbh, for the absolute majority of users, wayland is a nobrainer nowadays.

Pretty much the only downside compared to X11 left for me is session-restore and that is already on the horizon.

And we're just talking about the DEFAULT here, not about a complete removal of the X11 session as with Fedora/Gnome!

Woah, that really looks neat. I wonder if my old Floppy and CD-Version would also work...yep, they do:

The app requires the player to own and have installation of the original X-Wing game, or have the GOG or Steam versions of X-Wing Special Edition (either the 1993 floppy, the 1994 CD, and/or 1998 Windows edition)

Very cool :D

Kind of understandable. Although the argument regarding multiple distros doesn't really work anymore with valves linux-runtime.

The only real downside i see with proton is that the startup-time is much longer than native builds, but for most games that isn't really an issue i'd say.

I completely agree that pushing for more vulkan adoption first is probably the better approach than to insist on native versions.
At least if proton is officially supported and tested against, as seems to be the case here.

I don´t think that Steam Guard is less secure tbh.
But it is proprietary and forces the use of iOS or Android, that's the real gripe i have with it.

So: Kudos GoG (about time!), now Valve just has to follow up.

And now they should just mandate testing of new updates on proton if a game is verified or marked as compatible ;)

Black Mesa probably is the best remaster/remake in history. Really love what those guys have achieved, so kudos! (and now i want to go for another round, despite this huge pile.... :grin: )

This collaboration highlights the power of programmable money applied to real-world use cases

If only they would highlight even a single, even remotely worthwhile use case, this statement wouldn't be a complete joke...
