* Never pre-order
* Never pay over $20 for a game

Rules I will continue to live by.

Quoting: HamishI bought a game thinking it was a linux game from a stack I had in the cart. They refunded right away, though.

Actually when I bought Project Highrise the other day (which the devs are very clear there is zero support despite releasing a linux build on steam) Humble Bundle clearly stated in my cart that it was not a linux game. I had never saw this before, but I like it. It also happened on a free title they had the other day (Oddworld, I believe).

I'm not sure when they started this notification but I did like it. I do not use windows at all so I am not sure whether or not they pick up the Operating System from my browser id string or if they associate my account with linux after selecting that many times when purchasing/downloading bundles. (I assume they use the browser id string because that woud work for first time buyers as well.)

I wish I would have gotten that notification. It's been almost 2 decades since a Windows computers has touched my hands.

Quoting: HamishEvery time I even look at Humble Store I get discouraged by how awful their tagging system is. The way it often forgets selections or does nonsense such as showing games which have DRM Free Windows builds only even though I have Linux selected as a platform as well. Browsing for anything on there is a pain.

This happen to me for the first time. I bought a game thinking it was a linux game from a stack I had in the cart. They refunded right away, though.

Yeah it could be great. But instead you can't have this one until you have a Steam account linked to your Humble account. Need a Steam account + Humble account to have a DRM-Free game, ironic isn't it ? That's a shame.

It's quite bad... My future purchases will be GOG/Itch.io only i think. :><:

Yeah. The last free game giveaway was also like that, Psychonauts. I had to give away the key and then once the person activated it, I was able to get the DRM-FREE version of the game on HB.

I'm still sticking with HB, though but GOG and itch.io get first swing.

Would love to see this on GOG, HB or itch.io. Looks like fun.

I picked up 'Slain: Back from Hell' on GOG. Played some of it. Looks like a great Saturday morning game to rock as my kids get up and ready for the day.

Quoting: RafiLinuxQuick question on Humble Bundle games for sale. How can you tell that the game they are selling is available in binary form along with the Steam key?

I assume you want a DRM-free download?
Scroll down a bit below the video or screenshot, and check that the Tux logo is there:

Cool. So it has to say DRM FREE and have the Linux logo. Great! Before it use to say binary and steam key on the tooltip.

Quoting: RafiLinuxI really want to get the MK 1,2 and 3 from GOG but why is it not available on Linux since it's DOSBOX? Does anyone own these and run them natively on Linux? I do mean these DOS version not any other emulated version.

Yep. GOG don't have installers for many DOSBOX games and then they don't list Linux for that game. DOSBOX is the same on any OS, so you can make it work. You'll need to install the game using wine or extract it (don't know the tools for that) and extract the game.
This is one of the reasons why I wish they'd just ship the raw game as well as installers.

Me too. I wish ROMS were sold and you chose the emulated you wanted to work with. Like the NeoGeo stuff from HB.

I bought it but now I am having trouble getting my Logitech F310 working with the game. Many on GOG are having the same issue on other platforms.
