Unity attempt to clarify new install fees as developers revolt

Regardless of what they say going forward, they are 100% dead to me and already added them to my list of thing things to ignore when I decide to buy a game.

Unity introduces new fees for game devs based on revenue and game installs
13 September 2023 at 10:51 am UTC

I just uninstalled and purged all of my unity games. Largely not many since awhile back I posted in the forums about some of them trying to phone home.

All I have left on my rigs across my home are emulated games and a few mugen games.

Stuff like this really pushes me further and further away from the modern gaming scene.

Congrats and thanks for making a place for others to come to and explore Linux gaming as they see fit. The addition of tag blocking to self-curate the articles has been top tier awesome for me.

Backback Hero is not in this bundle or if it was it's no longer on it.

Flycast emulator for Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2 gets a big upgrade
4 March 2023 at 4:05 am UTC

I did not grow up with consoles but I've come to love the Dreamcast games from emulation. If I had to pick a console back in the day, this would have been it.

Currently, I'm using ReDream. Can anyone that use Flycast and ReDream let me know what their thoughts on the 2 are?

Lutris 0.5.13 Beta adds Proton support, itch.io integration, Battle.net integration
14 February 2023 at 1:05 am UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: NanobangTL;DR: I dislike Lutris.

The one design flaw I've found in all these launcher/wine manager projects is that all of Wine's fiddly bits---at best---can be challenging for Wine neophytes like me. I like that Lutris tries to deal with this via "runners," but I've never been able to sort out how to make it do what it's supposed to be doing, always found the overall design of Lutris's user interface too maddeningly inscrutable.


I really tried to get into Wine gaming and I ran into a lot of what you're talking about. The ONLY time I had a smooth wine experience was on the forums of GOG where someone was making wrappers for some games. While they were smooth and worked 100% it was for games I don't really enjoy.

Hmm I don't like launchers but my itch.io library is quite large. Maybe this will give me more of an incentive to check out other titles I already got.

Zoom Platform, a store aimed at 'Generation X' adds more Linux support
4 February 2023 at 4:43 pm UTC

I like that store. I got a bunch of games on there they gave out for free. Most of them are on Windows and I don't Wine so not much for me to play but I did install 'A Boy and His Blob' awhile back and gave it a spin. Not bad but not my cup of tea.
