Quoting: sbolokanovThe only thing that's stopping me from enjoying Feral's work is the fact that Steam is 32bit-only.
No matter what they improve the fact will remain…

What's the problem with that?

Quoting: elmapulwich means, by buying their games we will be giving money to microsoft...

... for a Linux game. Sounds fair to me. If Microsoft would support Linux games - which I won't believe (except for existing obligations) before I see it -, I'd happily support their commitment(*).

(*) Could I use "engagement" here?

Quoting: GuestWhy would you "distance yourself" from that simple idea?

You're insulting people, which is bad by itself, and that only because they've got other ideas what might help Linux gaming - or they maybe just don't care because they just want to play games on Linux. I don't agree with them, but both is valid.

Quoting: GuestYou want to keep an open mind in case someone tacked on "to save a bunch of puppies!" at the end? lol

I dont understand that (language-wise).

Quoting: Guest[...] that's insane. Only shills, M$ fanboys, and greedy sociopaths would advocate for abusing Linux gamers, so I hope that's not being advocated for by raneon.

I distance myself from this.

Quoting: jensIf you want more (bigger) gaming studios and publisher to support Linux, you'll need people that play on Linux. Actually a lot more than now. Really a lot more than the current tiny 1%.

Nobody, nobody at all is going to care for what you're playing on. They care for what you're paying for. If you're playing on Linux and paying for (a) Windows (game), "Windows" is the answer to all their questions.

Quoting: GuestI feel contrary, I like how many options we have now, the broad community support, the option to use Vulkan for hundreds/thousands of games and I like how our infrastructure improved since then!

Yeah, exchanging Linux binaries with Windows binaries and company + community support with community support only sure is a big win...

Quoting: GuestOh my god, I find it so incredible to consider such a large scale mass gaming platform "a good thing". Well, time will tell. No time to argue here but the impact of the internet in general is being considered by quite a few studies.

The question is what it is replacing.
That's quite different for Steam and "the internet in general".

Quoting: liamdaweTo me, it shows a lack of confidence next to Bloodlines 2. I'm assuming given the "interactive story" mention, it will be some kind of text-based almost visual-novel style.

Yeah, it's always strange to call a computer game "interactive"... :D

Quoting: subI don't get the "otherwise" branch.
All Zachtronics games are kinda hardcore.
Which isn't? :D

Do I need do be absolutely honest on this one?
I didn't play most of them yet (but absolutely plan to). X)
I just think that the presentation as well as the heavily multithreaded(*) nature of TIS-100 will be daunting to many people.

(*) yes, more so than 7 Billion Humans
