Quoting: DamonLinuxPLWitcher 2 on GOG for 1.65$ (on Steam 2,99$)

Not quite, you miss regional pricing which GOG is bad at for some countries.

As 20th October 2017, the game is $1.27 for Turkey, $1.08 for Russia, $2.95 for Britain, $2.99 for US and $3.54 for EU on Steam:

On the other hand, it is $2.99 for Turkey on GOG at the moment.

Well, I'll give them couple more years and pretty sure the end result would exceed the original game. :-)

Expectation: Now they can seriously invest more for DRM-Free, cross-platform gaming with all fresh additional resources they have.

Reality: Humble Bundle Windows app for wider DRM implementation.

Heh, I play Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on Linux natively every second day. Not to mention, 5 of 7 PC FPS from Epic and 7 of 11 PC FPS from id natively work on Linux.

Is that one of those games deliberately apply artificial CRT effect? Cause I immediately lose my interest in case of such nonsense.

Edit: It looks like CRT effect applies only on some in-game video cuts. That seems acceptable.

The ending is too grim for an AAA title. I hardly expect the game would be released as the script suggests.

Besides;

Quoting: Mountain ManStill looking for a native Linux "Diablo-killer". Games like Torchlight 2 and Victor Vran are good in their own way, but they lack that unidentifiable "something" which Diablo 3 has that keeps me playing long after I should have gone to bed.

Come on, Diablo III brought pretty much nothing to the genre aside from some unnecessary MMO mechanics. On the other hand, Torchlight series had plenty of nice ideas such as fighter/inventory/carrier pet, weapon enhancements as well Steam Workshop.

The fantastic and cheap RTS 'Rusted Warfare' has a huge update with mech units and lots more

Quoting: liamdaweRusted Warfare is a new game, it's constantly updated and has a lot of features I've come to expect like proper zoom control. Bigger scale battles like Tchey stated too, you could have way more units in play than in something like OpenRA.

You can upgrade almost everything to different tech levels as well, which keeps things interesting.

The massive experimental units are awesome as well, expensive, but really damn powerful.

Thanks!

Can please someone point the game's advantages over OpenRA? It has disastrously bad thumb picture but some in-game screenshots look okay.
