Selaco is much better than this. It’s basically F.E.A.R+Classic doom

It runs on linux & utilizes the GZDoom engine & for some reason attacked by the anti-woke mob

gradual,

Just torrent your games.

Stop rewarding companies for taking advantage of you.

ulterno,

Just don’t run their shitty silicon burners on your system and get some good stuff.
Support teams that are willing to make builds for the latest Arch release (and tell me too if you find any :P).

I have narrowed down my “to pay” list to GoG + Linux games, only problem being, since they are not open source, we still depend upon them rebuilding the binaries for the latest systems. Otherwise, we need to then keep an older version of Ubuntu for it. Really wish GoG pushed Debian as a standard for those cases (for old games which the dev might not rebuild), because Ubuntu ages worse than Debian, when out of LTS.

13igTyme,

I completely forgot about that game. I played an early demo and thought it was pretty good.

DRM - Copy protection Anti-cheat - Data harvesting, albeit Doom doesn’t have one

Meanwhile, DRM-free Doom (2016) is here, it also runs quite good >>> www.gog.com/en/game/doom_2016

Aww, that’s disappointing. Linux users with a DS or who use emulators should look into Orcs & Elves in the meantime. It’s another fantasy-flavored FPS from ID and it’s pretty good.

VagueAnodyneComments,

Orcs & Elves dude, sick, i never heard of this one 👍

Urge to pirate, rising…

YiddishMcSquidish,

Necessity*

Showroom7561,

I’ve downloaded software that I had paid for, simply because of the bullshit involved with DRM, licence unlocking, etc.

If the user experience of a paid software or service is inferior to a pirated version, then the developers are doing something wrong.

grrgyle,

Same. At a minimum, I remember having to d/l no-CD cracks to get around the annoying and totally unnecessary disc DRM (that required you to insert the disc, just to prove you had it).

Showroom7561,

While the CD checks are absolutely annoying, nothing, and I mean nothing, was more inconvenient than having to go to a certain page and a certain line and a certain word in the manual to unlock a program you paid for. Fucking infuriating.

grrgyle,

Shuddderr. I remember the first time I saw a game do that, I thought oh what a fun little game I guess it’s to get me to use the manual… like some kind of ARG, but when I realized the real purpose all the joy was sucked out of it.

Goronmon,

Or you could always just not play the game? Is that not an option?

grrgyle,

But I’m already doing that. I want to do my part to dissuade bad software practices.

Who am I kidding I’m just going to keep working through the Cacowards forever.

This is why we don’t support games with malware in them.

Yep, this is an old problem with Denuvo, new proton version looks like a new system. I guess if the containerization is perfect, Denuvo won’t be able to solve this and retain the same functionality.

After how id treated my man Mick Gordon, I’m torrenting cracked versions of their games here on out - pulling the patient gamer card.

Fuck the management at id. Just another corporate machine.

My inability to afford a GPU with raytracing is locking me out of the game.
