RollerCoaster Tycoon World now planning on Early Access, Linux is not day-1
26 March 2016 at 4:29 pm UTC

Am I the only one thinking a non-release of RTworld for linux is probably a good thing for the average quality of linux games?

I am much more interested in the alternatives, such as Parkitect

Quoting: rustybroomhandle... but I guess some people feel that that should have been part of the base game because reasons.

I will elaborate - I have a limited amount of time to play games (thanks to the amount of linux releases lately \(^-^)/ ), so I want a bullshit-free experience when doing so. It's not only the fact that Paradox shows so little pride by selling some small pieces of the game separately - it's also the amount of energy I have to waste to check whether it's 'fair dlc'. With skylines the base price was so low that it was okay for me (at that time), but it gave a bad taste to the game and I am no longer prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Looks interesting - problem is, I don't trust paradox and am no longer willing to spend the energy to check whether some dlc practice is acceptable to me (eg the riculous skylines eiffel tower et al dlc was only okay because of the base price of the game). So, if it has day-one dlc or is not available on gog I'll skip it.


The only reason I'm willing to consider a paradox game at this time is because it's an Obsidian one ^-^

Square Enix comes to SteamOS & Linux, Hitman GO: Definitive Edition released

Quoting: BeamboomOh man I'm torn on this one. On one side I really really want SE to notice us, but I really don't want to support phone game ports. They are just noise in my steam client as far as I'm concerned.

The upsides are that it's a no-bullshit port (no in-app purchases) and, at the moment, the price of the steam and android versions are almost the same.

Edit: the port is no-bullshit, the android version is.

Nice little puzzle-game so far.

It is a low-effort mobile port - but it seems to be a port of a solid mobile game. I suspect the reason the linux version got released is that someone noticed it how easy it was to do this with this specific unity game.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong gets free Extended Edition update

Actually, I find 'extended edition' quite descriptive: extra gaming content. The 'extended edition deluxe' had me scratching my head for a while.
