Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: dpanterIt's not a classic GE release if it doesn't get at least one hotfix!

Why have just one, when you can have two? Article updated.

Third time's the charm?

They did a remaster of Alan Wake a couple years ago, but it's still an EGS exclusive.

Looks like Alan Wake 2 is getting the same treatment, but since it's a new game, hopefully sales will be lousy enough that the exclusivity won't last. Or maybe it will, if Epic funded the development:

Also, disappointed that Stasis: Bone Totem still hasn't gotten a native Linux build. They said they would try to get it done soon after release, but maybe didn't bother once it got Steam Deck Verified.

Quoting: SalvatosHow can Ubisoft have the streaming rights and Microsoft non-streaming rights?

I'm confused about this as well. If Microsoft wants to make their new game available on Amazon Luna (that's not dead yet, right?), does Ubisoft have the right to veto it? If Amazon wants to pay out the wazoo to make CoD:L00tB0x+ available on Luna, does Ubisoft get the payoff? Presumably it's still the M$-owned company that has to make it work.

Also, my initial thought when I first heard Ubisoft was getting rights was: "why Ubisoft?" But then I remembered it's probably the largest gaming publisher in the EU.

In any case, if there's any bright spot, it's some of their games showing up on Steam (i.e. Diablo 4), although it remains to be seen if that dries up now that the deal is final.

Quoting: CalinouThe majority of the work is reviewing and testing a pull request

Indeed. As someone who reviews and pulls a lot of PRs (not for Godot, obviously), I have to say: there can never be enough peer review! Having to reject PRs multiple times (for seemingly obvious reasons) can be quite frustrating.

There must be at least one inappropriate joke there...

Quoting: ShabbyXNot that I care about Giana Sisters in any way, but it was the promise that wasn't delivered that killed the bundles for me.

I've only been in the Linux-gaming scene for a couple of years, so I missed this. What happened?

It was in a cross-platform bundle, with the promise that the Linux port was coming soon. But it never came.

The irony is that a Microsoft published game (Dust: An Elysian Tale, thanks to Ethan Lee I believe) got Linux support, while that one never did...

Quoting: chrThe developers of Luxtorpeda are better suited to manage that list of supported games.

Right, a list of Steam IDs distributed with releases, that the Steam client displays as a collection.

Quoting: redmanthe whole Netflix and Marvel fiasco comes to mind. Daredevil never got the finish it deserve and the episodes are not available....

FWIW, they made it available again, on Disney+.

I wish there was a way to have a dynamic collection in the Steam client, that automatically included all games supported. You can do this with Steam Deck compatible games, but that's because the Steam client has explicit support for that.
