Battlestation: Harbinger changing its name due to trademark troubles, new update soon too
8 July 2016 at 1:18 am UTC

Honestly, I think companies should only be granted trademark protection over one single word at a time. Apple can be "Apple" if they want, but not "Macintosh," or "iAnything." If inXile wants to trademark "Wasteland" they can, but in doing so they lose the rights to the words "inXile" and "Torment."

Obviously there are flaws in this plan, but I think that it would quickly change the culture and make companies loosen up so that they would only bother going after actually damaging infringements.

What are you playing this weekend?

Sunless Sea. I can't stop! The game is definitely not for everyone, but I love it.

What have you been playing on Linux recently and what do you think about it?

Binged Metro Last Light earlier this month. Really enjoyed it. I love shooters in theory, but hate it when you're forced into heavy combat. Metro, Stalker, and Hitman are perfect for me because they allow me to play a more cerebral game full of stealth and important decisions. Yet oddly I hate "stealth games." I'm a complicated fellow. Lol

Now I'm onto Sunless Sea. Lost my first captain to an ice monster. My second is fairing better but is a bit of a cannibal and has terrible nightmares. Loving this game.

Right now I'm playing a lot of Age of Wonders 3. Since my new build doesn't have a Windows partition I can no longer play Endless Legend, which may be my all-time favorite game (it's definitely in my top five at least) and AoW3 is the closest thing I can find to it on Linux.

It's like methadone, it's not as good as the real stuff but it helps with my withdrawals.

Microsoft's latest tactics show Gabe Newell of Valve was right to worry

Half-Life 3. Linux exclusive. Game over.

In all seriousness, I see this going over about as well as Games for Windows Live. Microsoft will be all gung-ho for about a year and then get bored and wander off.
