Book of Demons no longer getting a native Linux port, developer plans on 'supporting' Steam Play (updated)

Quoting: subThey're just letting "Proton" handle things for them and see it as the easy way out.
I don't really agree with that remark. If you replace 'Proton' with 'SDL', 'OpenGL', 'PixiJS', or something similar, that'd be awkward. Game developers don't *need* to know certain stuff, as long as they can make their games work well.

There are differences between those things and Proton, of course, but if it's sensible to use Proton, I don't really feel bad about them doing that, as long as, of course, they're supporting it properly.

The new CrossCode trailer shows off some seriously good action

I've purchased this a while ago, but didn't want to play it until the full release. A bit silly, in hindsight, but it does look like it'll be worth the wait and the early purchase.

But is the lore finally explained better? :P
As enjoyable as this game was/is, I didn't understand the story. And for once, I didn't seem to be the only one.

Ah, I've been playing Pathfinder on Roll20 with some friends for some time now, so I'm happy to see a computer game about it showing up. Hopefully they will keep their word on the Linux release.

I just played this and I have to say, it's pretty fun.

If I can get at least one of my friends to play, I'll end up buying it too.

The developers of game launcher 'Launchbox' on porting it to Linux, due to Windows 10 privacy issues

This is one piece of software that I kinda missed when moving over to Linux. It really helped me launch and browse my games in a more organized manner. I was unable to find anything on Linux with the same features I used there, like rom info scraping (I don't know if that's the correct term, though).

I never really used Big Box mode, though, preferring to launch my games with my mouse.

I did not know they had any interest in Linux, so this is a pretty nice surprise. I hope they'll go through with it.
