It pains me that I can't afford it right now, but will do so as soon as I'll have normal salary again.

How about a little Wine? Too early? Well, keep it boxed up then! Ever heard of Boxedwine?

Now that's a proper dad joke if I ever heard one. I laughed at it though, does that mean I'm ready to be a dad?

Quoting: RoosterI would say actually owning the games you buy is quite the groundbreaking feature in this day and age.

That's why I mentioned itch.io and GOG as an exception.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you.

Quoting: x_wingSeriously, Valve needs competition but all the other contenders stores are just "yet another place were you can buy your games". Out of itch.io or GOG, the others stores doesn't offer any ground breaking feature that I can appreciate as Linux user.

Since we are on the topic of GOG and Linux, do we even know how GOG tracks the Linux sales? I brought quite a few games on GOG which I have yet to play and for all I know, the purchase might have defaulted to Windows, as is the case when buying games on Steam through browser (and not playing them within 2 weeks).

Wait so will you be able to control the settlers manually or is that just a different camera view?

Quoting: PublicNuisanceYou can wrap whatever delusion and special wording you want around it to justify it but at the end of the day you are handing money over to publishers and developers who did not put in the effort to make a Linux version

There is no delusion or special wording, buying a Windows game on Steam and playing it through Proton counts as a Linux sale, end of story. Otherwise I agree with everything you said. I prefer buying native games and will do so 8/10 times, but if there is a Windows game I really want to play I will buy it on Steam once it is at least half year old and on at least 50% sale.

Otherwise I prefer to use Itch.io and GOG to Steam, unless there is a special case for buying the game on Steam, like yesterday, I bought Spirtifarer on Steam instead of itch.io, because of Remote Play Together.

Quoting: gojulI don't know for other people but even with a GeForce 2070 SUPER on Debian Bullseye (KDE) I faced dozens of crashes on Metro Exodus. Looks like the port is a bit sloppy given the testimonies on Steam. However the game is damn beautiful... when it works.

I only played it for a few minutes, sure seems with all the things turned on, it's going to require more than my 2080... if only 3080s were actually sold at a sane price...

So I shouldn't even consider buying this with 1080. Gotcha.
