Microsoft's latest tactics show Gabe Newell of Valve was right to worry

Quoting: s8as8a
Valve is making games exclusive to their "platform", which is Steam, the same way Microsoft is making games exclusive to their Xbox/Windows store
If you're referring to the Source 2 engine, to my knowledge, Valve is not saying that games made using that engine cannot be sold outside of Steam; Valve is simply saying that, the Source 2 engine games must be sold in either Steam alone or Steam in addition to any other store.
I think it was about Steamworks. Steam isn't new to the lock-in game. Developers which use Steamworks and make it mandatory can't distribute their games outside of Steam. It's a nasty tactics to use developer tools for lock-in.

@Mountain Man: They can't say such thing - it would be an anti-trust violation.

Exclusivity isn't a major problem anymore. You can expect exclusive releases when publisher is also a distributor (i.e. MS publishes and then distributes the game). So just ignore such games. It totally doesn't make any sense for others to be limited to one distributor. They are losing a huge potential chunk of sales.

I sent them a message, but may be they already explained it to someone else.

They responded that they know about pink screen in the tutorial and they are looking into it: http://frozenbyte.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=27505&p=49837#p49839 [External Link]

Yes, in fullscreen my KDE panel is also on top, but pressing fullscreen shortcut (F11) makes it really fullscreen.

UPDATE: I tried automatic, and it goes into fullscreen right away like adolson said.

Quoting: ricki42Does the tutorial video work for anyone? I just get a bright pink screen. The voice over plays, and keeps talking even after exiting the tutorial.
I get the same bug. Reported it here: http://frozenbyte.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=27505 [External Link]
Please add your specs to narrow it down or to confirm that it's generic.

The game itself sounds promising, and it's great indeed that they released the demo. It's a good old practice that more developers should follow.

Also, it still doesn't follow XDG base directories spec: http://frozenbyte.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=27504 [External Link]
