Hmm... pretty sure I played this demo a few years ago. I guess they have been on hiatus?

Nice bundle, but I already have all the games - except for MythForce, obviously. And I don't see that listed at all on the bundle page; was that only there briefly? Or is it a regional thing?

Also, Beamdog has been a great supporter of Linux for their games; I wonder why there's no Linux build of MythForce? The publisher (Aspyr) has historically been supportive as well, although it's been a while for them...

Quoting: benstor214Between the requirement of always having to be online and having to manually invoke the keyboard, I would say the developers are overly optimistic regarding the outcome of the verification process.

Maybe they just want to be officially listed as Playable? That certainly looks better than Untested or Unsupported.

Watched the trailer, and my first thought was: if all the superheroes turned into monsters, and now you are taking their powers, what's to stop you from turning into monsters also?

QuoteEpic Games accounts will no longer get logged out when launching Heroic sometimes

It was logged out when I first launched the new version. Maybe that will be the last time? :-D

QuoteProtonDB & Steam Deck compatibility on game page

Pretty slick, but at first I thought it didn't work. Maybe it doesn't show for games that have a native Linux version, or maybe the game name ">observer_" breaks the code because it's not escaped (I have it from both Epic and Amazon, and it's sorted to the top because of the name, so of course it's the first one I tried). Checking... yep, works fine for the Amnesia games, so probably lack of escaping the funky characters in the title.

Would be cool if the Steam Deck compatibility could show the popup info that shows on the Steam website; i.e. "have to manually open on-screen keyboard sometimes" and "uses wrong controller glyphs" type of notes.

QuoteAmazon Games Support

I let my Prime subscription lapse a couple years ago, but nice to see all the stuff I mindlessly claimed in the past is all still there! 206 games, surprisingly. Having this support makes it slightly more likely I will pay for Prime again.

QuoteLibre engines are planned too.

Something akin to Luxtorpeda, I hope! Roberta and Boxtron are nice too; the biggest issue with these in Steam is that you have to know what games are supported, and explicitly set them to be used. If Heroic automatically gave the option because it could match up the games, that would be very nice.

Quoteyou can now run streaming services like Netflix, AppleTV, and Crunchyroll

By way of browsing to them in the built-in browser, or is there some other feature I'm missing? Edit: I guess that's the "Add Game" / "side loading" feature added in the prior version. Question: is there any advantage over loading in a normal browser?

Looks like fun! And always nice to see all the lurkers sign up for accounts when there is a giveaway - that's what got me to finally do it, way back when!

Steam reviews don't seem to be very favorable; some of it seems to be "ray tracing makes it too slow" but others seem to be complaining about the puzzles / gameplay, which seems odd if the original mod was so highly rated?

Long overdue, but for a long time there has also been support for Steam Deck compatibility in the Dynamic Collections feature. I've long had a "Deck Compatible" dynamic collection, which automatically includes all games that are Verified or Playable on Steam Deck, and it gets shown in the top right of the game banner when a game is selected in the library. That's more visible than having to expand the info section.

Wasn't Collabora working on it already/before? Maybe Khronos thinks they are taking too long / need more help?

Quoting: jordicomaI want imagination to make PowerVR gpus for computers like before.

They tried with the Kyro series a couple decades ago, but it was a bit of a flop.
