I really liked Epic...in the past.

Quoting: MayeulCWhat would be interesting for them is to take a (slightly) lesser cut if the game is cross-platform. Everyone would be happy about this, I think, especially bean counters :)

now that is one of the best ideas i've heard in a while to boost Linux-acceptance among the devs...too bad valve is not looking into this comments xD

Quoting: 14
Quoting: liamdaweTogether, they've made some pretty interesting Linux games such as Pillars of Eternity, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, Tyranny, Wasteland 2, Torment: Tides of Numenera, The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep and more to come.
I feel like I need to crack out the wallet and buy all of those on GOG now.

i wanted to buy PoE2 in the near future (already have most of the others), but now that that money will go to M$ without them having any contribution to it - no thank you.

Well, good thing i was to sceptical/disappointed from previous crowdfundings that dropped linux that i refrained from backing phoenix point...
it's an a-hole move and i won't be buying their game outside of a massive sale, even if the re-implement linux some time after release...

that said, at least you can get a refund - hopefully they communicate the change of plans through email etc so every scammed tux can reclaim their money...

A shame that their "storefront agnostic" Take doesn't include itch.io ^^
Nevertheless, intersting to know and does for sure make them more sympathic!

Game store itch releases a brand new client, plus a small interview

love itch - i normally check if the game is sold on itch (and ideally offers a steam key for the transition-time ;) ) before buying something from Humble or Steam.
Besides "my steam library is pretty big" only missing friends features are what i'm missing in itch ^^

the biggest reason i haven't bought it yet is the version-issue...two doze-friends are playing it from time to time and they are the ones i'd like to join ^^
