I don't know what is worse, AI or popups... why not put it neatly in the infobox, like the protondb extension? It could just say AI / no AI and pop more info on click.

Looks like we have a competitor here. The license of the addon is MIT, you can start from that source code and build your version. You know... linux... open source... stuff like that :grin: .

Citing page 122 of the mastercard-rules PDF (with bold added by me), Mastercard considers violation of the rules:

The sale of a product or service, including an image, which is patently offensive and lacks
serious artistic value (such as, by way of example and not limitation, images of
nonconsensual sexual behavior, sexual exploitation of a minor, nonconsensual mutilation of a
person or body part, and bestiality), or any other material that the Corporation deems
unacceptable to sell in connection with a Mark.

With "nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part" I understand that chopping of an arm of an NPC should violate the rule. This is a mechanic present in A LOT of games, even AAA games like the witcher 3. It is interesting they are attacking only indipendent developers and not multinational colossus publishing AAA games :whistle:.

So basically they're going to replace a dedicated kernel based anti-cheat for their own because they think they can do better than a team of people whose only job it is to create an anti-cheat system?

A third party anti-cheat is a service they need to pay, they are probably trying to lower the costs.
Writing an anti-cheat is easy, simply use AI! Nowadays you do not need developers or know how, you only need 1 single AI guru and an easily persuadable CEO :grin:.

How could this possibly go wrong?

Yep, waiting for the fireworks to start :whistle:

I use qpwgraph ( https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/rncbc/qpwgraph [External Link] ) to play with pipewire.

I am not an expert in this field, I chosen this program because I use Fedora KDE and the program is available in the Fedora repository and it is developed with the Qt framework. It does what I need and i never searched alternatives, I do not know if there is something "better".

But issue I always had with nucleus co-op is the audio. Since you're running two or more instances the audio basically doubles and sounds wrong

In theory you could redirect the audio output of the instances on different physical outputs of the PC and each player could listen to the correct audio with headphones?

patents covers game mechanics like catching creatures and riding creatures

Funny, in Ultima Online it was already possible to do this a few decades ago :grin:

Since I already own some games, i have searched for the prices to check if it is a good bundle for me. I include the data below in case anyone else needs it:
 
| Game                                                  | Price    | Notes               |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------- |
| Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader                        | € 32.49  |                     |
| Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition                        | € 3.90   |                     |
| Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition | € 9.99   |                     |
| Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Season Pass      | € 7.24   |                     |
| Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – Season Pass 2    | € 17.39  |                     |
| Pathfinder: Kingmaker — Enhanced Plus Edition         | € 2.99   |                     |
| Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Season Pass                   | € 18.74  | No longer for sale  |
| Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition                  | € 39.70  | Not higher discount |
| Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition                    | € 2.39   |                     |
| Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition                 | € 1.59   |                     |
| Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition                       | € 2.39   |                     |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------- |
| Total                                                 | € 138.81 |                     |
The prices are the most discounted price found on SteamDB in the last 2 years in Euro.

PS:
If you want to support GamingOnLinux with this bundle, remember to check if it is present in the "Adjust donation" section or at checkout. I tell this because if you use the browser addon uBlock with the "Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool" filter the link will probably be cleaned up (the same will happen with other URL cleaner addons). To avoid this problem in uBlock I added to the "My Filters" tab the following line:
 
@@||humblebundle.com^$removeparam,badfilter
This should disable the "remove parameter" feature in the url for the website humblebundle ( src [External Link] ).

Quoting: VasilisI was thinking for a Linux exclusive first

Bold planning :shock:

Better to keep the Win version tested constantly in parallel with your main build target. We have seen too many developers discover at release time their "for sure" multi-platform source code not to build for Linux and conclude the cost to bring up on par the Linux build with the Win build to be too costly and drop the Linux build. This is annoying for the player but doing the opposite for the developer company would probably be... lethal.

Good work! :heart:
