Quoting: Stupendous Man

Quoting: orochikyoBut lets see how people loves to talk about "back up" their movies they "own" (funny fact you never will ever own a game, movie or music, read the eula, you are renting even if you are allowed to download it to your PC), which for me means you will be copying the movie in your friends/family usb so they dont have to pay a penny because you already did pay for it, right? If that is what you want, you can still get DVDs/Bluray disc but no, you want it cheaper, and why not, free!!

Ehm, no. When people talk about backing up 'their' movie (which they paid money to 'own' ), they talk about making a backup copy in case their hard drive breaks. You know, backups.
Of course, if anyone working in the movie industry thinks like you do, that anyone is a thief and a liar, that's why we can't have anything nice. A little trust towards your clients would go a long way, you know.

Precisely. Or in the case of physical discs, in case the media wears out or you know, you just like having your films digitally on your media centre, without having to go fetch a disc, turn on the bluray player and then sit through messages telling you not to be the thief you obviously aren't since you bought the damn disc. Besides, most blurays I get these days are special editions that aren't released where I live, meaning I have to break the encryption since optical media films are region locked! If I didn't have a bluray player, I'd have to break the DRM anyway just to play it on my Linux computer!

Also, I've never heard of anyone copying DVDs or Blurays to their friends. Everyone I've ever met, that lent movies to their friends, either lent them the actual disc or a burned copy downloaded off the internet. In short, DRM didn't even factor into it.

TL;DR: DRM only hinders the consumer in their right to play the contents they paid for and has basically no effect on piracy. (note: only talking film and music here)

Quoting: CandricSWhat is a fourth-person?

First-person is when you're seeing from the point of view of the character and third-person is when you're observing the character as if there was a camera there. What would fourth-person be?

Just taking a guess here, but maybe you don't control the person at all, just the environment. Or maybe you make suggestions to the character and they may or may not listen? I have no idea. :S:

Well, fourth-person in grammar is either when one is referring to a general group instead of an individual (like I just did with "one" :P), or it's when referring to a second third-person or a third-person different from the normally assumed one.
If they use it in the second meaning here, you could indeed be controlling the environment (second third-person) instead of the little guy running around (third-person).

What a great idea! I'm not a fan of the flavour text, which seems a puerile to me, but the blink, Frozen Cortex-like movement and the merger of Civ and XCom looks like something I will have to try! :D

Quoting: CybolicIt's on early access, you can play it right now. They obviously did work on it.

Then it's probably crap and reeeally not finished, otherwise they wouldn't have abandoned it.

Let's stick to what we know. There's enough animosity involved with this title as it is.

Quoting: sevenvery sad indeed, i realy liked Nekro and supported it from the get go. its a very unique game and the visual assets are stunningly well done.

the developer stated once on the steam forums that he was struggling wit personal issues and was not able to work on the game for some time.

i hope this gets sorted out cuz the game is great

Quoting: NaibGits... I backed this and it was quite fun... Kept meaning to go back to it once some game breaking bugs were fixed. [...]

QuoteHonestly, when things like this happens there's a good reason to open source it to allow it to continue and not go to waste.

This.

Give back to the community who funded you the code you have made thus far. Doing so will also reveal if you actually did ANY work, or if you're a criminal who stole everyone's money and should be prosecuted. Obviously if it were the latter, that would explain why they'd refuse to share the code that they do have.

Quoting: throghThis is in fact not a problem within Linux or better to be said of a free distribution. It is more the problem of the hardware and the manufacturer: Releasing some kind of proprietary, closed black-box is the trick. [...]

Don't get me started on soft-raid and win-modems ... *feels rant bubbling*

Quoting: bingusWell if it is Mad Max.... I'd assume Feral will be charging the non bundle price. Bit of a difference!

Are you using some sort of plugin to disable the Humble bundle within the store page?

Quoting: Guesti am really shocked that blizzard has not had someone port wow to linux seeing how big it is,i mean cmon that is a no brainer

If I remember correctly, they don't even need to, as they've had an internal Linux client for years. I don't remember the source though.

Oh, this is horrible. From Big Picture, this page shows compatibility with Win, Mac, and Linux and when following through the links all the way to the preorder, that info is never disputed.

It's flat out false advertisement at this point.

Quoting: CybolicThat reminds me, would it be worth it to set up a gaming hardware page on the Wiki? Something to easily see and submit whether various gaming mice, keyboards, wheels, controllers, etc. work properly in Linux?

Yes, it would be really useful to know in advance next time that Corsair keyboards don't work the same on Linux as they do on Windows.

We're getting off topic, but have you tried putting the switch in the back to BIOS mode? Worked for me, after I taped over the blinking LED.
