• Ubisoft is killing off a game millions have bought (The Crew)

  Do not forget that when you look at your Steam profile; https://steamcommunity.com/id/[username]/games/?tab=all that you own none. Zero You own a license which can be revoked and you - currently - have no recourse. https://gog.com is one alternative, I am sure others here know more. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Baldur's Gate 3 won The Game Awards 2023

  And I really need to repeat COMPLETE because of how they haven't cut out shit. The game has a ton of content, they literally put in everything they thought of, without the classic "let's better take this and sell it apart as a DLC" bullshit many, many studios do beforehand nowadays. And they also released it on GOG.com, a DRM-Free store, too. Source: 5 months ago

• Legion Go: Just Tablet-Mode Games

  Game I tested recently that I was impressed by how well it worked was Baldur's Gate Enhanced edition. Worked great using the track pad and worked great using just the touch screen. So based on this, I imagine BG2 Enhanced edition and Torment Enhanced would work really well as well as its the same dev. All gog.com.

• What's your favorite 90s RPG?

  There was this company when I was a kid called Spiderweb Software. They released independent RPG games for windows in the 90s and 2000s. I highly reccomend their Avernum series of games. You can get them for dirt cheap on gog.com. Source: 5 months ago

• I have a question about Witcher one.

  On allegro.pl it goes between 50 and 120PLN, but that's for Extended Edition, and this one isn't it. It has been widely available on Polish market, there were a lot copies around and it has been made obsolete by Extended Edition next year (also in box and a nicer one at that), it was relatively dirt cheap at the time, so the value isn't high. Especially if the registration codes were already redeemed (yes, they... Source: 5 months ago

• Making the switch - what are the gaps?

  For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you... Source: 5 months ago

  Bottles is great for old classic non-steam games. I haven't tried 🏴‍☠️ with it but I can't see why it wouldn't work. Source: 5 months ago
