I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It has been ages since I played something on PC (I don't have a gaming one) but that is crazy to me lol.

Is it not possible to just put the .exe files into the desktop (not shortcuts).

[–] bleistift2@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I tried that with Tropico 5. The .exe launches the Kalypso launcher. When you press play, it launches the steam launcher, which then launches the Kalypso launcher again. When you then press play, you get to play the game.

(This is from memory. Details may vary.)
