I doubt there's a market for a card game that's not free to play.
But well, they can always change that later on...
(Myself, I'm not into this card game stuff at all.)

Quoting: GuestWho is jaycee? One of the game devs at Bohemia Interactive?

Developer at Virtual Programming, as far as I know.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyBut information in the modern world is infinitely reproducible for almost zero effort. The barter model of one thing for another thing is based on me giving you a thing which I then no longer have.

That's still what is happening. Many users are giving money for a game, together (hopefully) compensating for the part of their lifetime the developers invested in making it and no longer have.

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoI don't know about you guys. But 90% of my Linux issues are related to updating nvidia drivers.

I wonder why. I got so many problems with e. g. printer and Wifi USB stick support, but Nvidia drivers just work like a charm (Debian here).

Something interesting has been brought up in a Steam forum:

So I wonder if WINE and Windows usage are more or less to be added.
As you got the data, would you produce numbers of people which are dual booting or using WINE versus those that don't to either?

Quoting: slaapliedjewho's going to carry around a controller just for whipping out at random times to play on a smart phone?

If you don't intend to carry something around in order to whip it out and play on it, you wouldn't be interested in this product at all - or any other mobile gaming product.

Not really, I guess he pointed out the controller as an extra device to carry in order to play.

I guess you'd carry a phone either way, so it's either two devices(1) or... two(2).

(1) Smach and phone
(2) controller and phone

Quoting: GuestDoes buying the experimental Linux port of Arma 3 count as a Linux game sale? I don't dual boot with Windows but I ask because the Steam Store page of Arma 3 only shows the Windows icon.

I guess so (there's been reports about sales accounted as Linux for games that had no Linux version at all), but user jaycee should be able to clarify.

I wouldn't play most genres in early access, absolutely inculding adventure games.

Didn't you use to have a count down, sparing us from calculating our distance to UTC?

Quoting: WJMazepasI tried to learn a bit of Vulkan, but all the information that i found was for someone already with experience in developing 3d engines.

I dont know if is possible, but i would love a tutorial that went with the basics, medium and advanced stuff with Vulkan. Showing how to write a simple triangle and then going forward. But explaining everything for someone who has not touched OpenGL before.

For learning all the stuff from the beginning, I'd recommend a book. For such tasks, nothing beats paper besides the keyboard. I cannot give specific recommendations on books about Vulkan, though.
