AMA but that
Kinda funny how 505 had an AMA about Bloodstained, but nobody was allowed to ask about what the supposed "technical reasons" the native Linux version were dropped for. (Yes, I know it's because 505 lied and there weren't any)

Sometimes, I don’t know why I bother
So here we have the GLUON robot arm kickstarter, which looked like a pretty damn cool toy at an amazing price. Of course, it was too good to be true, and yet another kickstarter ends up being ruined with no recourse and no explanation from anyone involved. This officially puts my Kickstarter record at more […]
Shenmue 3 on Ubuntu
So, if you're wondering if Shenmue III runs on Linux, the answer is yes. I see. Installation is about as basic as it gets: fire up Lutris, pick the Epic Games Store installer, install and run that, then install and run Shenmue 3 from the launcher. That's it. That's all. It just works. Likely on […]
Shenmue 3 backers will have 2 weeks to get a refund | PC Gamer
Starting in mid-September. Source: Shenmue 3 backers will have 2 weeks to get a refund | PC Gamer Re-posting this for any friends who might've not heard yet somehow - if you backed for PC+physical release, you'll be getting a copy of the Epic Game Store on a CD with a code to download the […]
505 Doesn’t Publish Games (apparently)
So if you've been following along, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was supposed to have a native Linux release - which was cancelled due to unspecified "middleware" problems. No refunds were offered or given, and people who asked were directed to the online forum operated by 505 Inc. I filed a complaint with the CA […]
Shenmue 3 by Ys Net » Update On PC Version Rewards — Kickstarter
Christ on a bike, this was the stupidest thing they could do. Yes, I backed for the PS4, but this hurts ME too - not just because part of my backer funds were supposed to go towards making a real physical release for everybody - but because the backlash from this will hurt Kickstarter the […]
Bloodstained: Lies Of The Publisher
Well, now that's quite the "middleware issue" isn't it? Seems to me the game runs just fine on Proton and Wine... And a windowed-mode desktop shot (with the game's process highlighted in system monitor) as more proof this runs just fine, but ANYONE can set this up and try it. Platinum ratings coming in on […]
Et Tu, Mue 3???
It's painful watching people sell out, especially when they're people you honestly admired and thought would be above it. After today's Epic Store Exclusivity announcement, I'm gravely disappointed in Ys.Net and Deep Silver. Someone at Kickstarter really needs to step up and start defending backers, or there won't be any backers left to defend, and […]

Sooo Mue 3 will be another two months delayed? Keep in mind this represents a little less than 1% of the total amount of time we've all waited for Ryo to come out of the cave. Given how OTHER Kickstarters are going (HISSSSS) and my personal faith in Yu Suzuki's commitment to quality, I'd give […]
505 Is A Gang Of Thieves; Their Board Admins Are Good People
If you've been following my saga over on the Bloodstained DB, you may have noticed that 505 doesn't feel like it needs to talk to me anymore, since they got what they wanted and don't actually care about keeping their word. Their publishing manager has publicly admitted to being a software pirate; this kind of […]
