Doesn't look like my PC will be able to run it if those are the minimum reqs, but happy nonetheless to see such a franchise being ported to Linux :)

QuoteThe Steam Hardware Weekend sale is now live and it seems Valve now sells accessories for the Steam Controller.

Typo fix, feel free to delete this comment.
I think it's more common in the UK to consider collective entities as a plural subject rather than a singular one. e.g. "The team are here; Valve are making progress" (UK) vs "The team is here; Valve is making progress" (US).

'Osiris: New Dawn', a graphically impressive multiplayer adventure and survival game coming to Linux

Quoting: EhvisApart from the fact that +1's are complete useless (if a dev would listen to the number of +1's, then a port would never come), you can be a bit more verbose. After all, you expert a dev to put effort into making a port, the least you can do is express you interest in a proper sentence.
I wonder what this says about democratic elections ✓ :)

Creepy Castle, an exploratory, sidescrolling RPG about an awesome moth comes to Linux on October 31st

That was a really good trailer, but I'd have to see some actual gameplay to potentially get hooked since I'm not that big on platformers.

Site update: a notice about article and forum post subscription changes

Do subscriptions without emails actually do anything? I have two pages' worth of articles I'm subscribed to and I have yet to be notified of anything.

The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, a fantasy solo RPG with turn-based battles will come to Linux
13 September 2016 at 3:49 pm UTC

I do like going through a gamebook from time to time, even though the idea of doing it on a computer turns me off a bit. I'll keep an eye on this one since I also dig turn-based combat :)

Owners of Armello on GOG can get a refund due to it not getting DLC and online features
12 September 2016 at 4:22 pm UTC

Quoting: EhvisIf the claim is true that all the DLC content is included in the base game for multiplayer purposes, then the DLC is just a "right to use". Which is DRM and therefore can't be sold on GoG. There is no solution to this other than to take it away from the multiplayer experience. Either way, people will be unhappy.
Nailed it. The same would apply to Worms W.M.D. for example, where people who own the preorder extras grant the ability to use those extras to everyone they play with (during those matches only). I don't know if Armello actually uses that same reasoning with the new DLC, though. I have the Kickstarter-exclusive heroes and those aren't shared with other players. When you play online you have to use the standard heroes. Assuming the DLC also includes new cards and stuff, I presume they didn't want to activate them during only a fraction of gameplay since people paid for them, but I imagine they could have.

I think they basically traded one problem for another, but I don't know which was worse. One could have hampered the DLC sales, but the other apparently shat all over GoG users and led to refunds. They'll have to do the maths and figure it out for themselves but I doubt they would change their mind at this point.

ARK: Survival Evolved gains a paid DLC while still being in Early Access, reviews are destroying it

I can't say I care if every developer starts doing the same thing. If they've proven themselves and the content looks interesting and decently-priced I'll buy it. If not I'll wait for release and/or stick to the core content. Nothing worth getting my panties in a twist here.
