Supraland is leaving GOG after less than a year, dev says sales were low

Quoting: scaineBut yeah, from a Linux perspective, GOG is just worse for everything. Worse support (do they refund?), no client, no Linux target for Devs, no multiplayer framework, no chat, no achievements, no trading platform...
Then again, it's nice not having achievements and game time tracking forced upon me. I wish Steam would make those optional...

That means there are approximately 210 167 Linux users out of those 24 157 126 concurrent users. Absolutely wonderful!

I am waiting for Demon's Souls to work flawlessly before I jump in. I can't wait!

Quoting: FutureSutureGlad to hear it. I will purchase the game once the developers move on so as to have the complete experience. I look forward to it! Them mentioning Castlevania as an inspiration has me excited!
This amuses me. In essence you're saying that immediate purchases of games is a bad thing to do, because then they penny pinch you with DLCs and such. I actually agree with this, but I wonder how many people would punish developers in this way until they realize that we don't want DLCs, just give us the game, and give us patches or if you're going to include free DLC (which this one is, so may as well buy it now, and play it later once it's complete).

Too many developers these days (I'm looking at you Paradox) DLC the shit out of their games, so keep making profit on them years and years later. It's not necessarily a bad thing (again referring to Paradox who keeps their older games relevant) but it certainly can be (like Paradox charging for silly things like sound tracks and art packs).
I understand what you are saying and I can get behind it. In my case, however, it really is just me not wanting to bother with purchasing, or if the downloadable content is free, simply downloading any additions to the game. I do not want the game to change once I have it. I do not want to have to deal with bugs or alterations to the gameplay. I want the complete, final experience. Regarding buying a game now and playing it later, why would I do that? That creates a backlog. I buy games as needed. Money is not the issue for me. I buy them at full price once they are done, provided they are available for Linux. It just sounds more convenient for me.
Vigil: The Longest Night, a 2D action platformer that looks seriously good will support Linux

The gameplay video has me interested. I will keep an eye on this. If it turns out to be a quality game, I do hope that it comes to Linux and is sold on GOG.

Team Cherry has announced Hollow Knight: Silksong, coming to Linux

I have yet to even touch the first game! With all the praise for Hollow Knight and how it supports Linux and its sequel will too, perhaps I should just give all my love and support to that game franchise instead of being angry over how the developers of Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night cancelled Linux support.
Linux hardware vendor Entroware has unleashed Hades, their first AMD CPU desktop

I like what I see! Why are the GPU options all Nvidia, though? That is the only part I do not like. If I am spending that kind of money, I would want it going to the company actively developing an open source graphics driver on Linux.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for Linux has been officially cancelled

What the actual heck? There goes my purchase of the game at full price. This was my most anticipated game (and not just Metroidvania) by far. I am a massive fan of the genre so this is a major disappointment. Good thing I stay the heck away from Kickstarter and other crowdfunding websites like it.
The action RPG Underworld Ascendant is now releasing in November
21 August 2018 at 4:48 pm UTC
Quoting: ShmerlGood that it's releasing, but they really should have used Unreal instead of Unity. Many pointed it out to them in the past.
Why do you say that? I am not clued up on the matter, hence my curiosity.
