I really like that you report both desktop and deck separately like this, it's great

"Boomer Shooter" is such a weird term when you consider that the original boomer shooters were made by Gen-X.

If only HB didn't add me to their black list for 0 reasons i would have bought this one the one with scarlet nexus....

:) i think a similar format will do for all going forward, although i'll see about a way to make it prettier maybe.

Definitely getting this one. It fills 3 entries from my wishlist, and I'll probably be happy with the others.

Well thats because people that spout the word boomer had no fucking idea what it means

I don't much play FPS but bought this for Ion Fury. If anyone wants one of the others PM me. Edit: All gone!

Hilariously, Ion Fury downloaded quicker than I could write this comment. 90MiB! That reminds me of the old Duke Nukem days already!

Ion Fury is a blast, works perfectly under Proton
Amid Evil already had it, RT works fine under Proton, but not DLSS
aall in all and awesome bundle.

Why Proton? IIRC Ion Fury has a great native Linux release.

Man, this reminds me again how upset i still am that prodeus dropped the perfectly working linux version - i want to play that game so bad (the demo was truly awesome), but i can't justify supporting such asshole-moves -.-

Yeah, that feels bad. But then again, many games that NEVER HAD a native version are recently promoted on Linux sites if they run on Proton. :D
So let's be fair.

Well i'm not sure whats more non-supportable: not caring at all or going 90% of the way and then drop it without any explanation or answering the questions why ;)

They haven't actually dropped anything. A demo is very different to a full game, often a quick export of a game at a very specific moment in development. It's still Early Access remember. Either way, works just fine in Proton and you know how it goes, might even be better than any native Unity export.

I know what it means. I think it's hilarious that it's become a catch-all term for "old people," because we all know the actual boomers are the real assholes.

"boomer shooter" inaccurate but I love it 😂
