I've never seen a game with this kind of artwork. Therefore it's original, regardless of method to achieve it. Don't you agree? :)

Quoting: elmapulits nothing original, its just a point cloudWell from that perspective nothing is original, is it? It's just a hand drawn animation, or just an object built with polygons, or just a sprite or bitmap, just a raytraced lighting, just a video scan, it's just code...

Wow now that's an interesting aesthetic! Not entirely sure for how many hours I'd be able to digest it, but neat nonetheless.
Leaving Lyndow removes Linux support from Steam due to masses of bug reports

Nobody has purchased Steam Machines yet. It's not even on the market in any proper way - it's not even out of beta. It's almost to be considered an experiment at this point in time. Heck I don't even know where to buy a Steam Machine should I want one - and I'm above average interested in this!
And when I say "nobody", I mean in a practical sense. The stats on this site says 33 guys are using SteamOS - the same amount who use the distro Solus. It's nobody in this context. It's zero. Nill.

Quoting: pbAnd how many do you estimate use SteamOS? Is it even measurable on the Steam user stats?Quoting: BeamboomLet's be real: Nobody uses SteamOSI'm using SteamOS, Steam Machines use SteamOS many people who built PCs specifically for the living room use SteamOS. Of course ~nobody uses SteamOS on their desktop PC, but just because you don't use it doesn't mean that "nobody" does.

Let's be real: Nobody uses SteamOS, and SteamOS was originally intended to be based on Ubuntu but changed to Debian due to some licensing issues. Steam has always had a focus on Ubuntu and all games for Linux that has a distro restriction in regards to support, restrict that to Ubuntu (and maybe SteamOS but again, nobody uses SteamOS. Most doesn't even bother mentioning that distro).

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm not saying you're wrong, but where does it say that Ubuntu is the only supported distro for Steam? SteamOS would be the one, I think the only reason most games show 'minimum requirements for Ubuntu' is due to them not being updated.I don't think that's due to it not being updated at all. Ubuntu is for all practical purposes the supported distro when it comes to Linux gaming today.

Quoting: sasannOnly if they spend their time creating better ports than making silly riddles ...Booo. Just, boooooo. If it wasn't for them we'd miss out on like 50% of ALL triple-A games released on Linux so far. And they all run smooth on a Linux gaming rig, a term that today means an Ubuntu or SteamOS box with a Geforce graphics card.

Quoting: GuestSlightly Mad Studios (Project Cars) are apparently located in West Norwood…Yikes, that actually sounds like a plausible theory. But yeah... I hope you're wrong. :D

Yeah, harsh I know, but it's only doing us a disfavour at this point in time to spam developers with issues that only occurs due to their exotic window manager, sound architecture, graphics drivers or distro quirks. You're not doing anyone a favour, guys. Nope.

so many bugs from so many different distrosOk, not to be a jerk or anything but to be bluntly honest here, in this context I think Linux users on other distros than the officially supported distro on Steam - Ubuntu - should just stuff it and stop reporting bugs and either find a solution themselves or dual boot into Ubuntu for gaming. Plain and simple.

Albion Online shows off the Guardians, huge beasts to take down in PVE

The big question is, will these bosses be in pvp areas? Cause then everyone who has ever played in such an area knows how it will be played out: massive amounts of ganking and nobody but the biggest guilds have the faintest chance of getting the drop.
