Is it still available for free? I kinda assumed once it went up on steam it wouldn't be.
The steam version is the nice graphical one. The original is still free.
The original is capable of pretty nice graphics too.
Doesn't the Steam version just give you different graphics?
It also adds a lot of quality of life stuff you would have to mod the original to get access to, though as I understand it, the Lazy Newb Pack mods include most of those QoL changes. Though, them being integrated into the game itself will almost always be smoother than requiring the installation of a mod.
let's be real here, the steam version is mostly a tax on people who find technology scary and can't install a few things on their own
... or mostly a cool way to support two guys who have poured their LIFE into what has become one of the most notorious computer games of all time. Exhibited by museums, beloved by million, and distributed for free. Best 30 bucks I've spend in a while. If anyone deserves that money, it's the Adams brothers.
But sure think of it as a mean spirited idiot-tax if you want
It's also a way to support two stellar devs
I suppose you could think of it that way, though buying it on Steam, even if you're not going to play that version, does help support the continued development of the game overall. Their Patreon donation stream was apparently waning before the Steam version released, plus there was the family health scare Tarn revealed at the time of the announcement too. I'd prefer the entire project not get put on a long hiatus because the devs got unexpectedly bankrupted by the absurd healthcare costs prevalent here in the US. And the fact that they didn't take down the free version after the Steam release on its own shows that they didn't make that version for the sake of greed.
