I backed them thinking of their Linux support, want to get rid of my Windows partition asap when I finish with few games, and now it seems that won't happen any time soon. Unprofessional is a way too nice word for what I'm thinking now to be honest.

I haven't read the article as I want to be fully surprised when I buy it. The screenshots though remind me, somehow, of Hollywood Monsters a little bit. Which, with all its flaws, I enjoyed very much almost 20 years ago. If puzzles are good and dialogues are witty we could have an amazing graphic adventure :)

Quoting: shigutso

Quoting: Arehandoroonly has 4 different stages/tracks/maps.

Hmm the last time I played (a couple days ago) the game had more than 4 stages, and also community-created content (Steam Workshop), so the possibilities are infinite now :)

I didn't know there was Steam Workshop content, I will check it out tonight. Do you have beta selected or something similar? I played last week too and I was able to play only in 4 maps :/

I have this game for a long time already, I bought it when I was only using Windows, and it is great BUT only has 4 different stages/tracks/maps which makes the game VERY repetitive. I know it's early access and they've been working making it better though they need more maps ASAP. It's great to play for an hour once a month or so but not more I'm afraid.

Quoting: Comandante oardo

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI guess it's Tomb Raider. Still I do wonder why they port the old game instead of the latest title. What's the idea of porting older games, when you could also port recent ones?

The idea of porting older games is to play them right out the box on Linux without the need of using tricks like playonlinux or something like that... I know they use the wrapper method, but is not the same than install wine on linux, then install steam inside wine and then, install the game inside steam inside wine.. We can not wrap games by ourselves like they can.

In other way, it will be cool if Valve include an official compatibility layer for Steam OS...
"This game is not available for Steam OS, would you like to activate the Steam OS Compatibility Layer Mode for this game?"

Disclaimer: To run this game under the compatibility layer mode is NOT officially supported by the developers or the publisher . Use it at Your own risk."

This would be ideal but they don't even do it with dosbox/scummvm games, as GOG in many cases do, so I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

QuoteSteam in these cases is the lesser of two evils

I don't see Steam as evil at all? It's a digital distribution platform - so what? It's even a platform for free software. And like it's said in the article: No exclusivity periods, it's free for the users, it's cross platform, it's proven to be a reliable service, they support Linux.
Where's the evilness?

It's not DRM free and you don't actually own the games.
