Quoting: Luke_NukemWhen I visited a few factories there the major factor was support for certain applications, usually CAD and graphics.

I'm sorry, I didn't know most of the gaming in China happened at factories. ;-)
Of course specialised software support is a major pain point for Linux, but we're talking about steam survey here, at least I was. :-)

Personally I find this fascinating that China is so Windows-centric. It might be because there's no IP laws and a lot of these are pirated copies of Windows (so basically free as in beer), but still, it's an American product, I would think its use would be discouraged at the very least. I guess Red Flag Linux didn't gain as much popularity as they hoped it would. ;-)

On the other hand, Linux is an open system while Windows is fully controlled plus they might have some deal in place for backdoors and stuff, so everyone is happy (I mean the corporation and the government).

Quoting: EhvisSo basically Epic is still trying to please the publishers instead of the customers while the latter is the only potential source of income.

They've been this way from the start and it's taken them nowhere so far.

Hell, we never got to see v1.0 [External Link]. :P

Yes, that was a part of the joke. ;-)

BTW I hope "coming to steam" means with achievements, cloud saves and all that.

"We are departing from the traditional Season Pass model." - is that a good thing or a bad thing?
"Traditional" means that you pay for future access to fully-fledged expansions, right?
As opposed to "modern" "season passes" that include useless cosmetics, a day-one short sidequest and the future access to a disappointing extra story...

Uh... this looks quite... generic?
Shredder's Revenge looks and feels fantastic, but I'm not feeling this one.

Which one do you think it is?
1. Corporate cost-cutting
2. Preparing for a future antitrust (look, we're so open!)
3. Actually caring about open standards

GAMIFICATION OF HEALTH AWARENESS BASED ON A WAKE-UP TIME

An object is to provide a user with motivation to enjoy waking up in the morning and guide the user to sufficient awakening by generating a breeding event in a breeding game of a virtual life form when the user wakes up in the morning.

CN: lewd, making the obvious joke

Spoiler, click me

I think a different kind of breeding would provide far better motivation to enjoy waking up in the morning

I'm sorry.

I don't think they can patent that. :tongue:
