New Epic Store Opened Up

So you agree that no other studio besides Disney publishes Disney movies? You agree that Movies Anywhere works, even though it's literally NOTHING BUT EXCLUSIVES? You agree with me that what we need (I never said we had it) is a Movies Anywhere type solution? You're literally arguing for my...

New Epic Store Opened Up

Tell me what other studios distribute Disney films. Films are exclusive by nature, yet Movies Anywhere is a service that works. Own an Apple TV and prefer iTunes but VUDU is having a great 4K sale? (They are, by the way) You're covered to purchase from VUDU and watch on your Apple TV, and not...

Uplay sells in multiple storefronts, but they all require uplay to be installed. You're not getting around having uplay on your machine just because you bought it on Steam or wherever. I don't so much care about your personal data idea, my issue was your completely made up and baseless numbers...

You're pulling numbers straight out of your butt. I imagine that the people who will want to play Dragon Age far outnumber the people who will want to play Dragon Age BUT ONLY IF IT'S ON STEAM. Same goes for PC CoD players, Elder Scrolls, etc. Also, the crux of your argument seems to lie in...

You can redownload Infinity Blade if you purchased it through your purchase history. Maybe inform yourself better so as to avoid getting all worked up over this. It's simply not available for new purchases, and IAPs are dead.

The competition you claim that we have, we don't. These keys are almost exclusively all Steam (the argument is about multiple stores), and it is usually detrimental to developers (many aren't compensated appropriately for these keys). Consoles compete with each other just fine. With PC stores...

Steam has not been my platform of choice for a long time, despite having most of my library there. Valve, as a company, has no idea how to manage their vast catalog/community/developer relationships, and they have shown zero interest in improving. gog.com is my platform of choice now. Many...

New Epic Store Opened Up

I was made aware because Supergiant is launching their next game in exclusive early access on the Epic Store. Hades, if anyone wants the title. I already had the launcher from free Shadow Complex forever ago. This store might have a shot, with Fortnite and the 12% cut Epic takes (vs. 30% from...

Chromium or Chrome on Lubuntu?

You can install Chrome by downloading it direct from Google as a *.deb. It will install the repositories for you. You could also try a different browser like Vivaldi out first if you so chose.

I'm arguing that they've "been" in mobile gaming. Hearthstone was always a mobile game that also got a PC release. It softened the blow. And it's not their first new game on mobile. That was Hearthstone.

Forum Name and Description At Odds

It's not like I'm against discussing proprietary software on *nix/BSD/whatever, I just wanted to point out how obviously and ridiculously at odds the board name is with the description. I actually relied on hiri, a for-pay proprietary piece of software to get consistent exchange email working...

**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

I was. But not the point where I'm wasting my life moaning about it like so many other people. Like I said, I'll still try the game out, I just don't expect it to stick.

Is this supposed to be *nix board, or an open source board? Is BSD, macOS, Windows, etc. open source software not allowed? Is it not an open source board? It's all very confusing.

You even mention Hearthstone in your post, come on. They've been in mobile gaming. They're expanding their presence.

Witcher 1 combat is terribad!

Witcher 1 combat certainly makes some encounters much harder than they should be. I'm currently in Chapter 5, finally going to finish it after owning it for so long. The rhythmic nature of the combat isn't so bad, I mix it up every now and again with Aard so I can get insta-kills. It's a wonky...
