Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a looooong time.
Well, this is the PC Gaming lemmy community, so I’m just talking about PC
There’s a pretty big difference between “Selling the exact same binaries on different stores” and “Supporting a whole different OS with it’s own alien ecosystem” =P
In the case of store fronts, we’re talking about more sales (even if it’s extremely low) that literally take 0 effort to do.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here already, is that the game is only on Steam. Which limits the customer base to Steam, yes it’s a massive audience but they’re missing out on free sales by not listing it on places like GOG, Itch.io, Gamejolt, etc

If you go down the VPS route, a headscale server on a cheap $3.50 VPS would be the way to go. Wouldn’t even have to deal with IP addresses at that point, while still being able to self-host all your services, with the cheap VPS being a glorified switch/firewall.
I bought it back when it was in early access. The main hate is how long it took to develop, and how many bugs it has/had.
The most recent time I played it, about a year and a half ago. You were able to wheely a motorcycle up a skyscraper. Zombies would randomly clip through things, the physics would bug out and loot on the ground would kill you from nudging it, sometimes you were able to just ride through buildings, and the multiplayer lag was abysmal. Just to name a few things.
I could go on, but for a game that’s been in development for 10 years, it barely shows it.
Follow this, it’s a known issue, but is fixed in the bleeding edge branch of Proton: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7486#issuecomment-2174772421
Believe it or not, since the last patch where it got the damage buff, it’s great on bots now. I use it to clear groups of heavy devastators and scout striders. The most I killed with one airburst is probably around 12 heavy devastators =P
Great for crowd control!
Shortest code in the game
sad orbital airburst noises
Patch Notes:
Known Issues:
/joke
Flamethrowers can be pretty good at choke points, but it’s situational
EAT is great against bots, especially on the heavy units like the Tank, Gunships, and Hulks
With the recent patch, primaries are actually able to deal with the light and medium armor guys now, so no more wasting EATs on Heavy Devastators too! (I just shoot their gun off with my primary)
On the bot front, it’s this, but with gunships instead of bile titans lmao
We didn’t start the fire.
Seems to be fixed now: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7486#issuecomment-2174772421
I mean, it would work, but you would be better off power-wise, price-wise, and performance-wise, going with a used office PC such as Optiplex.
