I believe the dev is responsible for requesting it and maintaining it... the second part being what would kill it since I would assume id doesn't want to spent time curating a 20 year old game instead of their active SKUs (Quakelive would get a workshop before Quake does).

Might also need to pay Valve for the privilege, since they host the content. Unsure on all the details. 

There's also likely some Steamworks integration requirements there too... I think all games with workshops require that the game easily recognize the downloaded content, or at least have launchers that help players get to the content they downloaded. 

It sucks that Quake and Doom, and collections involving these games, are listed as Windows only on Steam. Because, as we know very well, you can use the data files from them on a Linux or Mac computer by providing your own engines for the games.

However, as I understand it, the Linux Steam client would helpfully prevent me from downloading them completely because they aren't listed as having Linux versions. I wish there were an easy way to work around this. If you pay for the games on Steam, you own the rights to use the data files and should be able to access them as simply as possible even from non-Windows setups.

But no, let's make things difficult by deciding no Linux or Mac user would possibly want to install and play these games

What am I to do if I want to recommend these classics to other Linux users? Suggest they pay for them on Steam and then use special means to obtain the data files from elsewhere on the Internet, because that is much less trouble? I mean, why would you have to install a Windows Steam client just to download these if you don't normally use the thing for anything?

System Shock 2 is available for Linux, and it is provided as the Windows executable that you then run under Wine. Wouldn't it be great if iD Software did the same, or if Steam allowed optional data-files-only downloads for games that have engine source ports?

Is there a petition I can sign? I'm pretty sure ranting here doesn't help, even though I'm sure everyone enjoys it greatly. 

Thanks, that tool was fantastic! 

we all know there are a lot of big louis vuitton bag fans here. Has this community ever even contained a single woman? 

badly worded, by single I meant "1 at least" not romantically open to options. As obviously it'd be hard to stay single for long with all these sexy mappers around 

I'm beautiful! 

Oh so handbags are a female only thing now? 

Asurfael, Sidhe, and that one Caitlin girl who briefly posted in some thread about Q1 monster design. 

starbuck is female, her real name is Kara Thrace 

It's reassuring that a girl recently posted but no one even noticed the gender. Of course we are all still a bunch of penis- worshipping woman haters, who play violent games to suppress non-males. Can we please rename func to something that does not sound like fuck? I feel so uncomfortable in this rap culture. 

"I feel so uncomfortable in this rap culture. "

I feel unsafe with all this slipping going on... 

U say dat like it's sarcasm
I'm gunna make u warpspasm
Til you scream thru-out da nation
About ur senile devastation 

 

 

 

Of course there are handbags for males, too. For instance, this elegant piece: https://www.behance.net/gallery/Astra-Herrenhandtasche/8683955?ilo0=1 

this whole exchange was awesome, just what this thread was created for I'd say. 

but only on the internet 

Blitz show me your boobs.

Your boobs, blitz.
