To help them out, why not buy a few of their titles? I'm rather enjoying Skyward Rogue at the moment.

Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port on their radar

I am not into racing games, but I picked up Feral's GRID Autosport port, then had the crazy idea to also buy a racing wheel. Ended up with a Logitech Driving Force GT. Best decision ever. Works perfectly with GRID - rumble, force feedback and all that stuff working exactly as it should. The feeling of fighting with the G-force as you take sharp turns is great.

Although, I have spent most of my time playing Euro Truck Sim 2 with it. Also totally transformed the experience, even though the force feedback stuff does not seem to be implemented on Linux.

Anyhoo, might consider grabbing F1 2015 so that my wheel has more things to do. Don't want the poor little fella feeling like he's not getting enough attention.

Look, anyone cranky enough to complain about this would probably never have bought this game in the first place.

Quoting: GuestShitty anti-communist propaganda.

The story is just bullshit, trying to say that USA is the opressed by Koreans in the future.
Maybe stop harrassing NK?

It's a fracking game, chill out.

While I don't agree with the sentiment that the game is propaganda, I also don't think "it's a game" is a very good attitude to have towards the medium. Games are no less capable of having things to say and to affect our way of thinking. Games, just like books, film, etc. can mould how we view the world.

Planetary Annihilation: The journey of a Kickstarter

Quoting: psychodriver2.4 million should fund a pretty impressive game.

I think you over-estimate how far one can push 2.4m - it's not that big of a budget - very much still falls on the "indie" side of the fence.

Monument Valley, a tiny game compared to Planetary Annihilation, cost $1.4m. An RTS with multiplayer would have far bigger development costs.

And at the opposite end of the spectrum you have GTA V with a $265m development cost.

Quoting: fleskThanks. :) I have a couple of of those in my "staging" collection of games I haven't checked out properly yet...

You can safely move the Zork series out of staging, they were one of the best-selling games of their time, but I wonder if they're legit...

I seem to recall that for some bizarre reason, Activision chose to renew the copyright on Leather Goddesses of Phobos, but not the Zork series.

That's a lie!

In this case, unlike the cake, it's the truth. I can confirm that even with the current version you can already crack eggs on it.
