Quoting: Purple Library GuyI immediately thought "Wait, couldn't you use that to make malware that was basically unfindable and undeletable?" ... I don't really know anything about computers, at a technical level. If I could figure that out in three seconds, why couldn't the engineers at Intel?

Not an expert on the issue, but my bet would be DRM and enterprise environments where they want to lock down and control everything. Many of those "security" and "management" applications are not that dissimilar from spyware in the first place. At least that was probably the original intent. In practice I am yet to see this used for anything other than an attack vector.

All of the bundle sites are going downhill. Groupees is garbage, Indie Gala - mostly garbage, Fanatical - some good bundles padded with garbage.

And now Humble Bundle has steadily been decreasing in quality and increasing in price. They are still the best, but there's only so far you can go selling AAA games for a $1.

A solid selection this time. My Friend Pedro is also a whitelisted title.

Sad, but unfortunately not that uncommon. I've seen (and participated in) projects that have grown way out of proportion, and missed every deadline imaginable. Larger companies can recover from this by burning money that other more successful projects generate. But smaller ones can easily go under.

Quoting: CybolicIf they detect all browser as Windows, that would be terrible for my statistics. I didn't use Steam before I moved to Linux but practically all my purchases were done through the browser ... I'm not feeling too well about this :/

All my purchases are through a browser, simply because I have my PayPal password saved in the browser. Also it is much more convenient to navigate the store in an actual browser... :'(

Quoting: mahagrEdit: The main reason why I've not touched this game anymore were the comments on my review -- people were telling that I'm an idiot as I use Linux and not Windows.

Don't let this get to you. Most people don't know or care much about Linux. In their minds the idea that some obscure system like Linux could be used for gaming is completely insane. They are probably nice people in general, but they care about different things.

Quoting: bingusSame as if I buy something from an Android phone... is that technically counted as Linux?

Android is not a supported platform, so it simply defaults to Windows.

Holy crap! I just wrote a random comment on a dead thread on Steam this morning. Did not expect them to actually answer.
