But can this version be played in the tty like the free version?
TTY was great for multiplayer. Instead of handing the save file back and forth, we would just take turns on the server.
You were using cloud gaming way before services like stadia became a thing.
Doesn't look like so in the beta at least, it will always launch in an SDL window - and doesn't link to the curses libs either, which makes some sense with it being a Steam game.
Though using dfhack and the remote interface could probably still be used to have a tty client.
