Quoting: dibzNice that they did this. For a little while I was helping with the AGS engine for Luxtorpeda, but more or less stopped working on it at the time due to struggling with making the build environment work properly on my machine.

I offer a Wadjet Eye game (of their choice) for the person who makes all Wadjet Eye games work with such an environment (usable from within Steam after manual download).

(While I'm not optimistic about Linux gaming...)

Quoting: 1xokI think there is a positive attitude and curiosity at Valve. They don't sell insurance and do pure profit maximization. Life must also be fun and have some meaning.

:heart:

Quoting: amatai1-2% of Valve revenue is still something like 25 to 50 millions dollars. I suppose that pay for a few fulltime employees

But what part of it would they lose if they silently faded out of improving Linux support?
Most people would either continue to buy and play on Linux or buy and play on Windows.

[...] and the "image-based updater work" is actually towards improving live USB media to update them without losing user data.

I wondered what this is about, looked it up and they're saying it "is part of a set of efforts to attempt to improve the experience of trying out Linux on a normal PC with live USB media". So they're also making efforts to help people try out Linux and eventually switch systems. :)

Quoting: noxThis game is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it!
The dev has also been pretty nice and open, and linux and mac seems to have a healthy priority for them.

Thanks, I've been looking for a recommendation...

That looks sweet, I guess I'll play it although the children are not yet ready to play with me. :)

Hadean Lands. Dozens of hours. It's a text adventure (a genre called interactive fiction nowadays), so great and so difficult...

Quoting: orochi_kyoI always heard in politics this thing about the 1% deciding over 99%. And now in video games is happening too, 1% deciding over the rest of the people who doesnt care about VR.

Actually, it's developers and publishers who decide (and always did). That's as true for Alyx as it would be for a non-VR HL3.

From their update news [External Link]:

* Linux graphics glitch fixed.

[...]

For linux users we still have some known issues with fullscreen and exiting the game that won’t be fixed in this patch.

For our next update the main focus is:

Mod-support. We are almost there, but want to test it properly before launching it.
More linux fixes.

Quoting: KandarihuLast night, I read something about the United Nations having a plan for their Agenda 21 that by the year 2030, they'll have it that governments and major corporations will own everything.

This being a plan of the UN sounds every unrealistic. Could you name a (quality) source?
