In my house of 7, we only have 3 Windows PCs, and being locked down by steam DRM makes using Wine awkward.
I'm a C developer and would be happy to run debug builds, dig through stack traces etc if that would be helpful.
If you don't like being tied down by Steam's DRM, buy the game directly from the developer. The Steam license is so inexpensive because it's a single-user license. You're not allowed to share the game with other people. The license from the developer, on the other hand, is a single-crew license. You're explicitly allowed to share it with your entire crew.
Personally, I see the Steam version as a full-featured, unlimited demo. If you're really serious about playing Artemis, you're much better off just buying the game from the developer.
- Some people like to use Steam (hence why this discussion is taking place here), and the game is being sold here
- A 6 EUR demo? How does that work? I personally see it as a purchase of a full game which I decided to buy and sponsor the developers via a platform they chose to sell it called Steam.
- some people are serious about Artemis regardless of buying it on Steam or from the developer and regardless about having a crew on their living room or finding one online. I find you comment extremely judgemental.
Never said it was. People clearly want to run the game on Linux, so I offered a suggestion as to how that's possible.
Umm. Right. I'm one of those people, hence my posting a response here. And in my opinion (see below), Artemis is only sort of available on Steam.
It works the way I said. Artemis is a starship bridge simulator. You pay 40 bucks and you get yourself a starhip bridge. The Artemis license sold on Steam is not that.
When I said "I see it as a demo," it's because that's how I see it. I didn't say everyone must or should see it that way.
I made no implication to the contrary. I stated my opinion that someone who wants the full experience of Artemis (which is explicitly "having a crew in their living room") is better off paying the 40 dollars and never having to worry about DRM.
Having said that: if you're serious about Artemis, you're posting in the wrong forum.
There was nothing even remotely judgemental about my post. I was trying to be helpful. People in this thread are clearly interested in running Artemis on Linux so I suggested a method for doing it. People in this thread are clearly interested in running a single license on multiple machines, so I explained how that's possible as well. I then provided my opinions (and labeled them as such) that the Steam version of Artemis doesn't really give you the ability to play the game as intended and that purchasing a license directly from the developer is a better deal.
If you disagree with my opinions, that's perfectly fine. But the fact that you disagree with me doesn't make me judgemental.
ROFL. Good luck getting many games to run in Linux with that attitude. Go spend some time in both the Artemis and Linux community forums (if you're not already banned from them all) and maybe stop walking into a room with your hammer ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
As you may have realized, there are plenty of games ported to Linux (according to steamdb.info, there are currently 963 titles available for Linux on Steam), so one does not *necessarely* need WINE.
And you mentioned something about not being judgemental? (facepalm)
I never said anyone NEEDS Wine. I stated that the attitude you have displayed won't get you far in the Linux environment.
Yes I did. The thing I mentioned is that my first comment was not even remotely judgmental (and you've still failed to illustrate that it is). I didn't say I would NEVER be judgmental. Intimating that you've been banned from community forums is arguably judgmental. Offering solutions to reported problems and sharing my opinions on the Steam version of Artemis are not.
Do try to keep up with the conversation.
