GOG suspends all sales in Russia and Belarus
4 Mar 2022 at 6:20 pm UTC

While I can understand what GOG is trying to do, I should say they aren't very good at explaining it to the customers. Yes, they wrote a statement, but that statement is somewhere at the bottom of the site, and on the second page already. And if I try to buy a game from them today (I'm from Belarus), I will only see that there is no box to enter my bank card number. No explanation, no link to the statement - simply no way to finish order. Looks like a site UI bug more than anything else.

Spoiler, click me

Also, on a side note, I would like this approach so much more...

Quoting: damarrinYeah, I don’t agree with gog here. They should keep selling the games and donate all proceeds they make from those sales to Ukraine. And put up a big banner telling their Russian costumers they’re doing it, let them vote with their wallets.

I scroll through all download page and looks like they are distributing 32bit version of NWN:EE [External Link] for free? I don't really need 32bit version anymore, but still, free distribution is unexpected...

Hmm...? Liam, are you sure with those stats? I don't see Pop!_OS in Top5. Ubuntu 21.04 is №4 and Linux Mint 20.2 is №5.

Quoting: BielFPsAny way I could make steam use the game launcher instead of the official one? I want steam to track my hours played.
You need to download windows version of re3 and unpack it over steam GTA 3 directory, replacing files. Then, in that directory, make backup copies of gta3.exe and re3.exe (just in case), delete original gta3.exe and rename re3.exe as gta3.exe. That's all, you can launch the game from steam.

Tested it for Windows D3D9 64bit re3 version, but it should work with any.

Quoting: TriasOut of curiosity - will deleting and reinstalling the game will be enough?
No, because the game's files and the gane's Proton prefix are not stored in the same directory. If something is wrong with the prefix, nothing that happens to the game installation directory will have any affect on the prefix.
O. K, thanks for explanation!

A shame. After 2.0 patch I finally played a long campaign, till end year, and had lots of fun. Was really looking forward for this game...

Two days after 2.0 update and game recent reviews in Steam finally climbs over 70%. (Now it's "mostly positive", 73%).

Tried the game for a second time yesterday (first time was in 2019, when it was released) and the game looks promising so far. There is a decent chance that I will stay around this time. :).

P. S. One I:R video [External Link] I particularly liked yesterday. Maybe it will serve as advertising...

Quoting: headless_cyborgPeople complain about lack of cross-platform MP yet many buy it on sites like Fanatical where it's most likely counted as Windows purchase. That's a part of the problem.
Just bought Deluxe edition on Steam to support RPG Linux devs, we need more games like this supported natively.
I don't get it.
You buy it on fanatical, you give your money to the linux developer which is the same of the windows version.
You activate on steam, you play on steam, they know you are on linux.

What am i missing here? Seriously.
We know that the OS is evaluated in the weeks after the sale. It might be the case that these keys already count as sold, so the target OS is already set in stone - and it defaults to Windows.
Such thing is possible, I think. And now I'm suddenly worried about my backer key...
:(.
