I'm sure I had Thief running on Linux once. Isn't there something like Wine for Macs?
Or just dual boot windows on your Mac

Was about to create a separate thread for The Finals, but decided maybe just here would be best for the moment. Multiplayer gaming space is fickle beast, so even though this is being touted by a few places as the next big thing, it could disappear just as quickly as it's surprise launch the other day. Not played much and didnt really know much about it before going in, but did play a couple of rounds last night. Just did the quick play basic mode option with a friend. Felt reasonably good to play and I liked the objectives. Effectively it is capture the flag, followed by king of the hill, with your team of 3 competing against 2 other teams of 3 (think this might be 3 other teams of 3 in the main mode), as you grab a stash of cash and then have to drop it off at a cashout point. Not sure if the other modes add anything to that structure, but I understand tournament mode has the winning team compete against other winning teams to add a bit of a knockout style contest. Movement is a bit like Apex, with parkour abilities going on. Speed is determined by your size class, which also determines your loadout. Light seems to be speedy and stealthy, medium is middle speed and support class, and heavy is sluggish and basically the heavy weapons guy. As with TF2, the combo of my friend being the heavy guy and me being a medium with the healing beam was really powerful. There is supposed to be a whole destruction angle, but, to be honest, that didn't seem to come into play much, besides when my friend tried to see what his q ability was and ploughed straight through the staircase he was walking up. Not really sure how useful that stuff is, but in theory it should be. Perhaps the mode we were on has limited deconstruction or it was only really heavies that can do it. As I say, not played much and haven't really delved into the unlocks and things yet. Seems like it will be worth playing a bit more of though. store.steampowered.com/app/2073850/THE_FINALS/

Yeah I'm having a blast with it, not really bothered with competitive shooters for a long time but this has it's hooks in. I reckon it's going to be big.

To go with Gollum, king kong and that walking dead game is The day before. If you have not heard of it, the history of the game is really dodgy with lots of bullshit gameplay videos, devs calling people "haters" and getting people to work on for free. The game isn't even The division MMO with zombies they promised way back

Oh yeah, I read an article about that one in the old place yesterday. Apparently the company's YouTube page was so full of videos crammed with bullshots that they had to delete everything... And of course people took notice, along with everything else the game had going against it

The Day Before We Closed Up Shop
Way to prove they were definitely not scamming anybody, like they were saying just a couple days ago... Also, "paying off debts to partners"? What partners, they had unpaid volunteers working for them! This is such an obvious cashgrab scheme that even Trump is taking notes...

I don't even know if it was a cash grab as it made around 200k sales but had around 91k refunds. It's fucking bizarre. The hubris over this is something else.

Sure The day before was investor scam, they put out the video which looked amazing then people wanted to play it. Then the videos they later put out looked heavily downgraded (iirc they put out a video of them "look its real, some dev is playing it" and the mouse movement didn't look right)
so much of looked like asset flips and they even copied last of us 2 cover art

The crew (ubisoft racer game) is having servers shut off in March 2024. The entire game will be unplayable. I wouldn't be suprised if the 2nd game gets server switch off. I got the 1st game on games with gold and it was no Forza horizon

Yeah pretty sure 2 will be killed in a year or 2 then Motorfest a couple years after that.

Something that caught my eye was IGN giving Asgard's Wrath 2, a VR RPG, a perfect score

That's pretty fucking scummy. Definitely not trusting Ubi with more than a month of Ubisoft+ from now on. You'd think someone would've realised that signing the update with the following probably wasn't the best idea...
"See you on the road!
The Ubisoft Ivory Tower team"

I saw some on reddit and other sites defending Ubisoft closing the server for the game which things like" its 9 years old, if YOU wanted to play it, you should of" and the classic "stop moaning entitled gamers" or "no one plays it, do you really expect them to pay for server for 1 person"
This just comes off as being a shill for billion dollar company, the fact is the game could work as single player experience but the publisher made it always online and while its not as good as forza games, games becoming unplayable is never good
Why pay for crew motorfest as download when they could turn off the servers in 2 to 3 years. I expect the crew 2 to be shut down early 2025 at this rate. Its that old saying "You'll own nothing and be happy"

It's one thing I'll never understand, the mongs who feel the need to defend the corporations in moments like this. They're somehow anti-consumer despite being the consumer. I don't even know where to begin with it.
