Yup. Like, I get what he's trying to do, if people don't need to extract the contents of the release they're more likely to keep sharing it. It would be reasonable if DwarFS was installed by default in most distros, Mint for example doesn't even have it in the repos*. Still, he shares a huge collection of games, so it's still worth to check if he has something you want.
*might be relevant for the OP. In Mint here's what I did: I downloaded DwarFS binaries and put them in some random dir (I'll call it /randomdir). Then I edited my .bashrc file and included the following lines:
Then when I download his releases, I navigate to the dir where the dwarfs is, plop a terminal, and write
undorf [filename]
. Boom, extracted without too much fuss.
