I made an itch account just for this! Really incredible collection, even if it will take me like a year to sort through it. :)

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

1-2% of a lot of money is still a lot of money. If that math doesn't work out for you, sure, go ahead and drop GOG and/or Linux. But if these 1-2% didn't cover at least the cost of keeping multi-platform deployment in mind (I am avoiding the word "porting", because in 2020, if you have to "port" your game to other platforms, you did it wrong in the first place), your game wasn't worth publishing in the first place.

Yes, harsh. The truth sometimes hurts.

Steam Play Proton 5.0-8 has released (update: 5.0-9 too)

Quoting: Xaero_VincentThere appears to be a nasty new issue (probably introduced by a change in the EA Origin client) that breaks any game on Steam that uses the EA Origin client via Proton or Wine.

I hope this gets fixed soon so I can play Mirrors Edge: Catalyst that I just bought.

That's why I avoid to buy games from other stores than Steam.

The game was purchased on Steam. It just has a dependency on Origin as well and it's the Origin part that is broken.

These hacks at EA can't ever NOT break Origin running in WINE every 2-3 months, it seems. One really wonders how they manage to break such a relatively trivial piece of software all the time, when WINE can run applications ten times more complex than that just fine.

I hate EA so much. I wish Paradox would finally make a Sims clone the same way they replaced SimCity with something way better, so I finally wouldn't have to bother with their garbage platform anymore. For the time being, Origin still seems to run in Lutris, though.

Keep up with Crusader Kings 3 info thanks to a new dev video

If they choose to go Epic exclusive I am sure I will find a way to punish them with my wallet.

I don't think it's overly likely, though. Paradox is probably THE most Linux friendly publisher out there, and they know as well as we do, that the Epic Garbage Store doesn't run on Linux.

Godot Engine editor running in a web browser is now a thing

Since the editor is super lightweight anyway, running it in a browser is probably not THAT much a needed feature, but hey, I can appreciate it as a cool tech demo! :D

Just for the record, but ESO is running absolutely FLAWLESSLY on WINE or Proton. No Stadia needed to enjoy it! :D

No, and there never will be. This is an online game only.

According to the article and the Steam store page it does have a singleplayer mode, so not sure?

Never heard of it before! How would it compare to, say, Aeseprite?
