Quoting: NoXPhasmaThe max slots count is 16 per server. The 2 free slots are for spectating only.

Yeah, I figured that out quite soon. I was spamming the button just to make sure I get into the game when there is a slot available.

Quoting: abelthorneWhat makes you think it's a native client? the "launch/2/executable" line? Can't it be the Wine wrapper?

Icculus wouldn't be involved if it was a Wine wrapper. AFAIK he has never been involved with non-native ports.

AFAIK he has never been involved in anything good. Always shipping unfinished crap that never gets fixed. He starts to work on a million projects at the same time and ends up with a million broken ports.

Apart from Killing Floor his ports have worked just fine for me. And Killing Floor was playable too, it just had these weird graphical glitches.

Quoting: GuestCurrently on sale for 3€ on the Humble store. I bought it, works fine on Arch Linux 64 bit / Xfce / alsa / nvidia. Not really interested by the game though, I prefer simpler games, but who knows I might change my mind one day.

Something the article does not mention is there is an online play mode.

Thanks for reminding me about the Humble version. I completely forgot it and believed it was a Steam-only release. Added the link for it in the article.

I mentioned the online support on the video. I usually offer only the most important aspects of the game in the article and the video has all the details.

Quoting: pbI have both Trine and Trine 2, but I haven't played either of them so far - should I play them in chronological order (i.e. keep waiting for #1 to get to Steam) or it doesn't matter?

I've played a bit of Trine and 6 hours of Trine 2 and I think you can play Trine 2 just nicely without touching Trine. Of course playing Trine first helps you understand some things like what the Trine actually is and stuff like that, but Trine 2 is enjoyable on its own too.

Quoting: a4644246Im not calling names Im just describing my observation. When there is a problem in F/LOSS just ask your self "What will Linus do", he would throw couple of "f*** you"s then said do it right way or GTFO. My approach is healthy for F/LOSS platform it is unhealthy for corporation and developers, and if they dont care about F/LOSS platform I dont care about them.

Linus Torvalds is in a special position. The kernel team is very exclusive and they have to have a clear authority to make sure the kernel doesn't suddenly break completely. Here you are on an open community website and here your attitude is only poisonous and it won't be tolerated.

Quoting: pd12Actually, I think that was an example, and devs saying "anyone can monetize videos of our games" or "we have no problem with you[plural] monetizing videos of our game" should be OK.
You just need to find that blogpost they said it in .. =D

Apparently YouTube no longer likes these sorts of blanket statements on websites etc. and demand personal permissions. For example for me that would be completely unreasonable, because I have hundreds of videos of games from dozens of developers/game studios and I doubt I would be able to get permissions from all of them.

Luckily the GOL Casts at least fall under fair-use and I am sure we can talk our way through those, but let's plays are on the grey zone between what is acceptable and what is not.

Gaming videos are a major part of the YouTube ecosystem and if they think they can be idiots to the gaming people then YouTube will quite simply collapse. It's not like there aren't alternatives and pushing this sort of stupidity on us will just drive us away from the Google monopoly.
