Dota 2 matchmaking may be less terrible now for solo players and more difficult for toxic people

Aha. So it's getting satisfaction not from your skill, but from being able to ruin other people's experience with little effort.
I guess that does make some kind of sense if you are a pathetic person.

Quoting: Geppeto35Do you know games like CS:GO danger zone without this mass of cheaters?
All massively popular games have a lot of cheaters in them, sadly. They constantly ban accounts but more keep coming.
Does anyone have an explanation for this?

I just don't understand it.
Why play competitive games with cheats? If you win, you know you only won because of cheats. It's hollow.
And you don't even gain any money from it - I do understand grinding bot accounts for MMOs, someone's gotta farm that gold to sell online.
But maybe I'm just too much Klingon and Ferengi to get the point.

How is this behaviour score calculated?
I can only imagine it being based on other players' ratings.

A game launcher that is not restricted to a single platform?!
What weirdly sensible black magic is this!

Quoting: joaojottaIt honestly doesn't sound that great. Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Where could it be applied?
?????
How about every single game that can (normally) only be played together via local shared-/splitscreen?

I also played it before (1-2 years) and it is quite impressive how much it has evolved since then.

Quoting: Liam DaweAs noted in the article, it's terrible in Steam Play when previously the actual Linux version with NVIDIA was great.
Silly me, thought you were talking about the legacy one there.

"We're looking into ways to support Linux via Steam Play"
Would be fine if that worked, but... does it even?

HopFrog is removing Linux support from Forager and MacOS is not coming now either (updated)

Quoting: rustybroomhandle(…)A developer can't just release a game on GoG. They have to submit it to them and hope that whomever reviews it likes it enough to want it there. (…)
So you imply that GOG rejected the Linux version (because “it's too niche”) while they liked the Windows versions enough to release it?
I don't think GOG can reject platform releases. Just entire games and what platform they release on is up to the developer.
