Feral Interactive are teasing movement on Life is Strange 2 for Linux

Quoting: PatolaIt's the sad finding that Linux is departing from the mainstream titles for the mainstream public. You might even love the genre, series or title and still find this unsettling. Some of the Total War complaints also had this tone, even though I think (maybe wrongly) the Total War franchise is more mainstream [External Link] than Life is Strange [External Link].
SteamSpy estimates the number of Lis Before the Strom owners to 500,000 - 1,000,000. I bet LiS 1 has more, but I can't find a number except for episode 1 (5M - 10M), which was free. Not too niche in my book.

But more important, "Nobody deserves such punishment." is quite different from "We need more mainstream games."

1) Great!

2) We do need new teasers (for something but being Total War) now.

Quoting: subYet, I'm a really angry at Valve.
Not sure about the legal situation in the US but here (Germany) I'm pretty sure,
that would be a contract that can't be single-sided cancelled in that way.
I'm not sure either, but I read the situation is quite complicated from a legal point of view in Germany. What a company does is the offer to make an offer, you're making an offer to them, ... so you "buying" something is still not a contact from a legal point of view. I'm not sure when the contract is in effect, though.

Atari VCS enters the final stages of pre-production as it heads towards mass production

Quoting: tuubiOf course it's possible, but the "active" adapters are much more expensive than DP to HDMI ones.
Last time I looked for one, it wasn't possible. Do you know any examples?
Does this match?

Euro Truck Simulator 2 heads to the Black Sea with the next DLC release on December 5

Quoting: tuubiMy biggest gripe with the graphics is the lack of functioning AA. The game (and ATS too) lets me pick SMAA, but the setting has no effect that I can see. And no matter how much I bump the internal resolution, there's aliasing and moiré effects all over the place.
I don't know about AMD, but for Nvidia, there's an override setting in the driver settings.

SDL is expanding gamepad support with 8Bitdo SN30 Pro, Google Stadia and more

Quoting: lqe5433What is the difference between SDL and kernel driver?
Both are needed for a new gamepad to be supported?
SDL should make gamepad access easier for developers.
So, yes, it's better if both support the gamepad in question.

Quoting: rick01457Also, are there any games that have tried a 3D pixel art style? That front page is making me want one.
A Short Hike doesn't look like the front page, but it's pixel 3D (and good!)...

Quoting: chrI saw the "buy" button green (with no "out of stock") message for me 5 minutes ago in Estonia (with 15 eur for shipping). But by now it is out of stock again.
Someone has to write a sniper application for this. :D

Quoting: chrSorry, neither DDG nor Google is being helpful in this. What currency is that? Also I presume "450,00" is 450 money units, but I wouldn't be surprised for cultural differences and 45000 actually.
Google hints me to Brazilian Real. 450 of those would be close to 100 Euros...!

Quoting: subAny news on a new revision or is the Steam Controller history?
I can't imagine it, they've sold over a million of it.
(Wonder what the plan would have been if this is not a success.)
So, my bet is on a new one.
