They might now they're owned by Microsoft. They've been adding games to Steam (perhaps only Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4? so far?).
I don't believe WoW is on Steam. It's likely that Steam was just open in the background and popped up over WoW.
I'd love to see another player, but I don't think this is it.
The maintainer of the application chooses the categorie(s) but manually organizing things as an end user... is kinda dumb. Maybe I don't understand your workflow (or why the Start Menu is the way it is now with all programs barfed into one list, I figured it was for touch devices). It doesn't really matter, though, because search is used primarily now, anyways. Forgetting the name of the application is the only reason I can see digging through the Start Menu now.
Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.
I preferred their nested menus to what is there now, though I started using search as soon as it became a thing (Windows 7?). They should have really implemented categories (like in Linux) early on rather than having every suite have it's own sub-menu in the Start Menu.
Like, from just reading the headline, it doesn't seem very onion-y. It's not just perfectly believable, but I sort of assumed that that is what happened.
I'm sorry, 175 GB? WTF with these game sizes.
Before private lobbies in GTA, I remember blocking ports for GTA in my firewall except to my friends' IP addresses, which worked for a while.
GTA Online has terrible monetization and Rockstar are openly hostile towards PC as a platform, but I wouldn't call GTA mediocre at all. There's nothing quite like the attention to detail or breadth of GTA games. If you've played a few GTA clones, you'll know what the competition looks like and it's not even close.
I don't want to discount what you saw, but I don't think Linux gamers are even asking for official support. If they don't want bug reports from Linux gamers because the reports would be "tainted" by an unsupported operating system, then they could have a banner on the submission page. I would argue, however, that they would be missing out on a lot of free bug testing where all of these companies are far too cheap to pay for proper bug testing these days.
At this point, Linux gamers would just appreciate the bare minimum being put forth with developers not breaking the games for them.
That's true, but those days are long behind us. Now, games are released in an unfinished state and require, at the very least, a day-one patch for any hope of a non-buggy experience. It's sad affairs everywhere in all aspects of the industry.
Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They've always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.
I remember the physical media PC game days. At the end, the games had horrible copy protection/DRM. I remember not having an internet connection for a while and I went to buy a game that I could play. All the games on the shelf had a notice on the box that said "internet connection required". Single player games needed to be activated, and if you ran out of activations you either had to contact the company to reset it or you were shit outta luck. I far prefer the combination of Steam and GoG.
Publishers already tried this (EA, Ubisoft, etc) and it didn't really work. They came back to Steam.
Apparently, Linux hosts do not show up when setting up the connection. Hopefully Linux support gets implemented ASAP.
I remember something about that from The Matrix.
A notification popped up on my phone today talking about this. I hit the button to adjust the settings and found that it was opt-out.
No, I don't want my app usage being used for ads. I don't want targeted advertising at all, but none of our fucking countries will take a stand against this shit.
This might be the thing that finally pushes me to switch to GraphineOS.
There was a time that I felt like Google was one of the good guys; they seemed to be doing great things with their products and pushing Linux. Now I feel like I want to de-Google my life.
