Quoting: Creak

Quoting: CorbenFrom what I've seen the goal is not to move across planets or even star systems, it's more about to survive on your planet and crafting your own shelter, vehicles etc.

In Liam's article he says that:

Building a spaceship capable of interplanetary travel is the first end goal

I'm not fluent in English, but doesn't that say that the first goal is to get out of the planet, but then you'll be able to travel across planets as well? I personally really like the idea of interplanetary travels, it still makes me dream ;)

Well, maybe later you can travel to other planets like in No Man's Sky. But this seems to be a goal, where you need a long time to get to. Like the goal to reach the center of the galaxy in NMS. We will see ;) I'm looking forward to Planet Nomads, and play meanwhile NMS.

Homeworld remastered would be cool.
If it is a Linux port, I guess it will probably be a port of a game that's already released.
Maybe something that has already hints on SteamDB and we forgot about?
It will be interesting to find out ;)

When the Kickstarter campaign [External Link] of Planet Nomads started, the graphical style immediately reminded my at No Man's Sky. This was already enough for me to become a backer.
But the gameplay will probably be quite different to NMS. From what I've seen the goal is not to move across planets or even star systems, it's more about to survive on your planet and crafting your own shelter, vehicles etc.
From what I've seen and played in NMS, you "only" gather resources to improve or build better equipment (where you need to find blueprints for), and you buy other ships. To be honest, I think I like NMS survival style more than Planet Nomads style will be. But as I'm not an alpha backer, I couldn't check yet. So it will be interesting on release.

edit: Of course another reason to back Planet Nomads was, it will get a Linux version ;)

Well, as they already have the Demo on Linux, they know what they are doing.
I think the PS4 announcement helped boosting the funding to reach the first stretch goal a lot sooner than without.

My list of games, where a Linux port was announced, secretly hinted at or at least were hopes for:

- Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
- Gas Guzzlers Extreme
- Evolve
- Elite: Dangerous
- Darksiders and Darksiders 2

But I'm afraid none of these are going to happen anymore. Too bad, so sad.

Quoting: liamdaweI've adjusted that one bit

Thank you!

Quoting: liamdawethe rest of the editorial stands. G2A built a business around key reselling, they know fully well this is a big repeating issue.

Key reselling would not be a big earner if it was just legit sales. I will never buy from G2A and I stand by my thoughts on them.

I'm wondering, as G2A states, they don't take a share of the price, just the commission they get from their payment providers. This could be not the truth of course.
So it's just the mass of sales. And those are probably quite high, when the prices of the games are cheap.
On the other hand that would also work with completely legit keys. Sad that the credit card system allows it so easily to do fraud and the scammers win.

I'm just thinking about it... isn't there any law that forbids knowingly selling stuff that is stolen? Like dealing in stolen goods? There has to be a way to get justice for tinyBuild!

Wait a sec... imho it's okay to point this issue out, but putting customers on the same level as scammers goes to far.

What's the problem of blacklisting those illegally bought keys? If they show up in a keystore, they won't work and the keystore has to deal with it. Immediately their reputation goes down and automatically no one buys anything there anymore.

Of course it would be nice of G2A if they would help tinyBuild in this issue, but it's up to them. If they don't check those keys, and they are working... why should they bother? For them it seems to be a correct key. If the key doesn't work, they have to deal with it and refund the customer.

Is it a problem to blacklist those keys? I have no idea, so I'm asking.

As far as I am concerned, I've never heard before, that G2A is selling illegal keys intentionally. And I know this store for a while now. There was a similar issue with Ubisoft's Far Cry 3, but this didn't affect only G2A as keystore. So the article should be rewritten, with a warning that this issue exists with this particular game/developer/publisher, but not accusing customers of G2A being no better than scammers in general! Let the readers judge for themselves, just from the facts.

edit: after having read tinyBuilds article, they do the same: "Make your own conclusions"

The information about the steam summer sale leaked already a while ago, as a dev or publisher didn't care about Valve's NDA :-/

It's for quite a while true, that about 8 of the 10 most played games on steam are available to Linux/SteamOS. Already about half a year already, if not even longer. And among them are always about 3 of Valve's own productions. That's quite cool, but it didn't help increasing the Linux share on Steam (yet?).

Really great news.
But there is a drop of bitterness for me... as a german customer I can't buy the Dead Island series through the steam store. So even though I own the original games, I can't get the advantage of the discount :-(
