BATTLETECH for Linux updated, releases Flashpoint expansion – some thoughts

It is Cross-Plattform and supports Linux. That is great!

The only thing that really makes me worry is the "Season Pass Thing" and the DLCs that short after release.

Free to play robot battler ‘Robocraft’ has changed quite a bit with the Infinity Update

Hi Liam,

is the game Crossplattform Multiplayer?
It seems it is some "pay to win title", or do I get this wrong?

Best regards

Total War: WARHAMMER II released for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

I would prefer running it with proton and Cross Plattform.
A port or natural game is better, but not if cross plattform is missing.

For me, that's a big issue.

Not Ferals fault, maybe and sad for Feral themselves off course.

I hope they get more partnerships with game devs. Actually they are really dependend on the TW and TR series :-(

Quoting: raverrebelEven if I would've wanted the game, the missing crossplay would hinder me from playing with friends.. Really hope that crossplay will be implemented for future ports (I know it's hard and sometimes impossible).
Just tell them that it's a good reason to try Linux! It's free! Lol!
No! It is not free. It costs them time. And if you have friends that do not care for IT and just want to play, they just won't switch to Win. And the argument: "Multiplayer-Games on Linux can often not be played with friends on Windows. So please install Linux!" is really weak, isn't it?
It is like: "Try a new OS, it gives you problems when you want to play with others on Win. But no matter, you can Dualboot and maintain two systems in your rare spare time...."

Quoting: GuestIt will have cross-play??
Probably not. None of the Total War games have, as far as I'm aware, so I wouldn't expect it here. A pity really, but not a whole lot Feral can do about it either.
Uhm.. Then i'll force my friends to install Linux if they want to play with me, i'm just sick of windows.
Good Luck!

In my case I have no chance for thinks like that :-(

I hear answers like "Buy a Windows-Licence, it's just 8-10 €"!

So for me it is really shit, that there is no cross plattform multiplayer. I think i won't buy it.

The Long Dark is leaving GOG tomorrow although it will still get updates

My son bought the game on GOG. It didn`t even start. So he refunded it.

In my opinion it doesn't matter if it is on GOG...

Drives are cheap. Buy one for your friend(s). Give them no excuses!
That's not really your opinion?!
Most of my friends don't want to use Linux. I will not get them on the nerves. I will just not buy this game...
BTW it is not a good marketing for Linux, to tell them what does not work.

Quoting: GuestSad, really.
I have no cross platform multiplayer on my CoH2 Linux native build but i have it with the CoH1, with no native version under proton !
:dizzy:
Hmm, that leads me to the question, if it would work with proton and CoH2. I would like to play CoH2 with a friend of mine, but he is on Windows....

Space sim 'Helium Rain' has left Early Access, code is open source

Quoting: daishordAnd is it possible to support the devs without paying a Steam tax? Just when there are real alternatives to buy PCs without the MS tax.
Without Steam and all the money valve invests in Linuxgaming, the Steam tax is ok for me.
Also Steam brings other services to me, that it is worth it.

First-person adventure about sunken Russian sub KURSK to have a delayed Linux release

Quoting: ArehandoroGames that are based in historical scenarios are a great way to manipulate and change certain aspects of what in reality happened.
Yeah, and the russians perhaps have found out, that video games are a great part of information war.
You need a better story than "our ship failed because of technical issues", make a cool game with the story "an enemy spy caused the problem"...
