Selaco is much better than this. It's basically F.E.A.R+Classic doom

It runs on linux & utilizes the GZDoom engine & for some reason attacked by the anti-woke mob

I completely forgot about that game. I played an early demo and thought it was pretty good.

Just torrent your games.

Stop rewarding companies for taking advantage of you.

Just don't run their shitty silicon burners on your system and get some good stuff.
Support teams that are willing to make builds for the latest Arch release (and tell me too if you find any :P).

I have narrowed down my "to pay" list to GoG + Linux games, only problem being, since they are not open source, we still depend upon them rebuilding the binaries for the latest systems. Otherwise, we need to then keep an older version of Ubuntu for it. Really wish GoG pushed Debian as a standard for those cases (for old games which the dev might not rebuild), because Ubuntu ages worse than Debian, when out of LTS.
