I didn’t agree with it being a paid product either. And I might have been misunderstanding so don’t take my word on this, but I think it was originally open source and free (at least in money, not sure about freedom) for those running Bazzite and primarily designed for Bazzite Linux and that they planned to keep supporting that version, so I feel like all that would do for the Steam Deck is incentivize people to install Bazzite Linux on it so that it would be free.
Yeah, figured that out recently from my own physical PC collection. This wasn’t game assets, but I thought it was really awesome one day when I found a really early development test video of the Lemony Snickets game for PC. It was just a raw video file sitting on the disc in a folder. The video was an in-engine recreation of this scene and the characters had no voices or animations, placeholder models, and were just moving around the scene in a T-Pose and, it was so interesting and cool to personally bump into it because that was a childhood favourite movie of mine.
I can’t find the video online, so when I get proper internet in a few days, I’ll try to upload it.
Put the headset on full blast? Got it!
Oh cool. I didn’t know the company was Australian, but I’m Australian and got this from a regional op-shop here (aka thrift store). You can tell it’s Australian from the G rating on the bottom-right.

Lol, I like the warmness of headphones on my head. And I hate sitting at my computer without wearing headphones because it’s harder to concentrate with the extra noise around me that the headphones would otherwise block (I live next to a highway) In fact, I’m sitting at my computer with headphones right now, and I haven’t listened to anything through them, lol.
Yeah for sure. You can still download it from Steam at the moment if you already have a license for it, and probably for quite some years, so thank God for that. But if it ever stops being available for download for some reason from Steam, the game won’t be able to be downloaded at all anymore. On GOG, as long as you kept a backup of your personal installer file, the game will always be installable forever as long as you don’t lose your backups and there isn’t some crazy post-apocalyptic event that takes away our technology.
The advantage and point of the DRM-Free nature of GOG is that once you download a game, it stays on your computer even if the game is removed and made unavailable to download. And you are able to download an “offline installer” file which can be backed up and used to install the game at any point in time even without an internet connection. So buying it on GOG knowing it may be removed is still hugely advantageous.
I checked GOG as soon as I saw this post. Hopefully they don’t take that down, too.
Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to make it sound like it was distro-speciffic, I just think that Bazzite was the primary platform target originally (but I might be wrong)
