Telepath RPG: Servants of God on desura

The price is keeping it from being an impulse buy for me, but not a complaint. This game is on my list of game to buy and I don't feel the price is too high.

By way of comparison, Deadly 30 looked kind of interesting and it was very cheap. Realm of the Diggle Gods was also very cheap and I knew I like the base game. I grabbed both while buying Trine 2. Likewise I might jump on a sale if I see one. As long as it isn't a problem for Sinister Design that I'm going to wait to buy it, I don't see any problem.

On an unrelated note, I'm not sure if I missed it but I thought you might want to include a link to the [URL='http://www.desura.com/games/telepath-rpg-servants-of-god']Desura profile for Telepath[/URL].

Oh bum thanks i will edit tonight to add the link (on phone during the day - work yawn)

i stopped caring about desura. it's basically just another form of drm. you can't update your games without desura, you can't download anything game related without desura and you can't sell your game. while it is a "moderate" form of drm, it still restricts me. i tried to like it, but i don't for the same reason i'm not happy about steam coming to linux either (if it really ever does).

You can download games straight from the website if you prefer assuming the developer put up purchased downloads. I am not sure why using their software to update games on their service would be considered unreasonable. And the main difference, the most important difference between Desura and Steam (and I am sure Stallman would agree with me on this one) is that Desura can not remove binaries from your machine. It has no contact with your system. At best they can remove games from your account, but that is it. The binaries are there and can be copied to places separate from their service, and I have in fact done this to give a demo I grabbed from there. So I am not sure exactly what you are upset about.

I hear because of Adobe Air version mismatch (Adobe Air stopped supporting Linux), the game would not run on some systems. (heard complains but didn't try for myself).

Yeah it is a pity they chose to use Air.

Add to this the fact that you don't even need the client, they have downloads on their website if the game developers chose to support it so if they don't - it's not down to Desura. As for games downloaded via the client, you can move them out of the Desura folders if you want and remove everything to do with Desura - unlike steam Desura gives you all bits of the game to run outside of the client.
