We'll see what comes out of it. Besides the end of Win 10 support, HL3 as a Linux-Exclusive would surely boost sales as well *hint hint* ;)

Still one of the best games of all times imho. Really looking forward to multiplayer ^^
For mods, i must admit that i'm yet to find any really groundbreaking ones. But maybe now's the time to give them another look ^^

Quoting: ZlopezPSN account should be optional in this case. Especially if this is single-player only game.
Not should - has to. There is just plain and simple no even remotely valid excuse for forcing any account bullshit on a singleplayer game.

Quoting: scaineLooks lovely! Still wouldn't buy an Nvidia card! :grin:
And wouldn't create an account on one of these cesspool-plattforms for the chance to win one either ;)

The "Remake" looks nice for sure - but 95% of the improvement is either in the assets/textures or could have been done almost as good with non-pathtraced lightning (but 3 times the FPS instead ;) ).

Aren't they ashamed to blabber such bullshit?!

I mean for Multiplayer games - ok, with a whole lot of good will and booze, i will accept that argument. But for singleplayer? Go try to fool your grandma instead of treating us like 3-year-olds...

Quoting: TevurDo you remember the time when digital distribution with its more or less hassle-free accessability essentially killed video game piracy?
Well, they saw how it's going with the video piracy and thought 'We can do better than that and revive piracy even quicker!'

which they plan to have as opt-out and not opt-in.
Oh lord, will they ever learn?!
Even Microsoft has Telemetry as Opt-In - at least in Power-Toys.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered may need a workaround on desktop Linux

Nice to see this sort of thing has been thought about, and to have a developer directly reply with a solution.
On the one hand - yeah, nice that they reply. But on the other (much bigger) hand: Forcing an absolutely useless BS-Login on a SP game is just despicable and an absolute dealbreaker for me. Shame on you, Sony!

Luma Island devs spent an 'enormous amount of effort' to make it smooth on Steam Deck

Maybe they put all the input-options of the Deck to really good use?
Would be kind of a first (apart from Aperture Desk Job), and limit compatibility with other handhelds, but i could imagine it could be offering really neat experiences with a game like this.

KDE is basically the only entity that makes it into my "end of year donation spree" every single year. Maybe it's time to start throwing money early this year ^^
