Otherwise you get a Frost Giant scenario with "Stormgate". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 13 hours ago (1 child) Stormgate was broken from the reviews I saw. It simply wasn't working well. It also didn't really add something new to the StarCraft concept. If it for example had a survival mode where you fought together with other players to kill waves of another race, or allowed mods and had some prebuilt ones like a tower defense mod, or a MOBA mod, well.... that would be interesting! And it has to work on Linux. We're in the process of ditching Winblows. Click that damn toggle and make it work on Linux. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Aedis@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago True, it had other issues too, but a lack of traction was a big one. permalink fedilink source parent
