Quoting: StrangerHey PublicNuisance ! We will ship the game without DRM, so no worry on that front. :)


Now that's what I call service !

Sad to see them go but I never bought anything from them. Like others have said they didn't stand out. For DRM free games I have itch and GOG. For DRM games I have Feral store and Steam.

Linux Gaming in 2016, an end of year review

I'm very happy with the progress made this year but I just hope it continues to get better. I really hope GPU drivers get better as my main hope. Overall any progress is good though.

I had never heard of this game but I am very interested. Hopefully they plan a DRM free version but either way I'm interested. I added it to the GOG wish list for anyone interested in voting.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceIt's weird but having the full game DRM free is more important than the demo if I have to choose.
The demo is DRM free on Steam and works completely without it. It's possible that the game is DRM free on Steam, too.

I was a little bit disappointed to find out, that GOG does not have the latest version (1.1.1 vs 1.1.2). I hope there's not a huge delay in the future!

How do DRM free games on Steam work ? When you click Install does it still download the install executable that can be copied to an external ? Do I still need the Steam client to install at a later date ?

Looks like something I would enjoy. I emailed the publisher asking if they plan a DRM free version. Hopefully they will have good news.

GOG has the Linux version of the full game but not the demo. I downloaded the demo on Steam. It's weird but having the full game DRM free is more important than the demo if I have to choose.

Edge Of Eternity, a beautiful indie tribute to J-RPG classics is waiting on Unity & Vulkan

I remember enjoying the Kickstarter demo on Windows so I hope they are able to not only make the Linux version that they promised but do a good job.

It looks like more classic Topware Interactive games are coming to Linux

The more the merrier. I could do with some X-Blades action on Linux.

ZeniMax are flexing their legal muscles towards DoomRL

I saw the word Zenimax and got giddy for a second thinking Hell had maybe froze over and they were bringing games to Linux then read the rest of it. This is not the news I was looking for. As long as they are only asking the guy remove trademarks and aren't trying to shut his games down I can abide but anything more and their just bullies.
