Wow, they created a HIDDEN path for the game's files back in the day!? They were way ahead of their time.... way ahead even of THIS time :O

Quoting: chancho_zombieyes I mean g2a exists for a reason and that's because the payments options are not enough in some countries.

And because it's cheaper, most people probably just buy there because it's cheaper.

Quoting: chancho_zombiePeople still keep coming over to buy games to g2a, so the service they provide (even if it's piracy) maybe it's not that bad.

Then just pirate the games without paying fraudulent stores already.... even the developers prefer that way. Better getting free than paying someone in the middle money that the devs won't ever see.

Quoting: LeopardI thought key reseller sites are selling keys that are generated by publishers?

You might want to take a look at this:

There have been a few more recent articles showing some change in that respect, but the problems with key resellers in general still exist, so that article is as relevant today as it was back then....

Quoting: Avehicle7887Despite this game's 2 years old now, I bet many Linux users would buy it if it was ported.

No. That's the problem - the Linux users who want to play Witcher 3 have already bought it, and would want the Linux port "for free".

I bought Witcher 2 and am awaiting the green light to drop the money on Witcher 1 and 3....

On the subject of Metroidvanias, I recommend Demon Peak to anyone who likes such games. The game had to launch before completion for some reason and was broken on both Linux and Windows, but the devs wasted no time to fix the issues and it is completely playable now. Very fun Metroidvania.

Did Softpedia just say Half-Life is a failed project? I wish I could "fail" like Half-Life....

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääIt's wonderful for them to provide these old classics truly available. We don't miss too many classic SW titles no more! Episode I: Racer would be nice...

I am still longing for a star wars Galactic battlegrounds port...

One day, ONE DAY.... I will still see og Battlefront 2 native on Linux.

What stops anyone from partnering with Dell, and making them provide Linux options on all their models, and not just on a couple of laptops? I agree though it requires money. I'd also like to see KDE used for such purpose.

Honestly, if someone tried that, Microsoft would strike back their own deal with Dell to keep it from happening.... maybe they would even strike a deal to make Windows only on ALL of their computers. And Dell themselves would be the ones alerting Microsoft of the Linux negotiations expecting a better deal from them.
