Talking Point: how about a monthly Steam Game Pass from Valve
24 May 2021 at 6:23 am UTC

My biggest fear with subscription services is that I'm not sure if it is actually viable for smaller developers.
It all depends on the contracts with the given platforms, obviously - but since those tend to be very hush-hush...
Unless leaked like Epic's, of course.

Great news. I always found the UI fairly prohibitive when trying to get into Vicky 2 (and that is after being familiar with EU4 and HoI4) - here's to hoping they'll make it all a bit more accessible without removing depth.

And no mess at launch like Imperator, please.
kthxbye

It is really interesting to me how much work and money goes into this.
This cannot all be just for the few percent of gamers using Linux.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPCan you pet the bears, though?
A friend of mine once petted a wild bear. She's crazy. And, perhaps surprisingly, still alive.
Bears are actually very peaceful. And, probably more importantly, REALLY lazy - if your crazy friend was not perceived a threat, it's quite likely the bear was just like "yeah, whatever".

(still wouldn't recommend, though)

Throwing 1k at a KS campaign....
I'd really hope that's just spare change for whoever does that cause otherwise it seems like a really damn stupid thing to do.
KS is always throwing money at a dream with the slight chance it might actually come to fruition.

I didn't even see that.
You're right.

Quoting: LoftyVery common, none of my windows using steam friends knew that it was available on Linux
To be fair, why would they?
If I was still a Windows-only user, I'd have no idea, either, because it would be pointless for me to even check that.

I only got into Linux because I was forced to for some work-related stuff.
And then noticed it's actually way better for me than Windows, so I switched.

Quoting: Loftysome even thought that Linux was for university labs only.. yes in 2021 with all the power and information of the internet.
I wish I could say that would surprise me :grin:
