HITMAN for Linux officially announced, port by Feral Interactive and arriving this month

Quoting: chrisq
Quoting: EikeAbout the size of disks: I really wonder how many games you've installed simultaneously...! My games sit on my oldest SSD, 80 GB..
Even a single game nowadays can be 40gb, do you only have the games you're currently playing installed?
I've got installed a selection of games I'm playing or might play in near future:

3,9G CAYNE
3,5G Crookz
2,6G Day of the Tentacle Remastered
11G DiRT Showdown
9,7G Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition
2,8G Duke Grabowski, Mighty Swashbuckler
1,8G Infinifactory
855M Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
164M One Night Stand
1,9G PapoYo
4,3G rocketleague
2,7G Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun Demo
7,1G Silence
2,4G Steamroll
11G Tomb Raider
70M World of Goo

Most games do not take dozens of GB.
And don't get me started on counting how many hundreds of hours these might take...

Quoting: chrisqI have ALL games installed simultaneously (1000+), it's nice to be able to play anything without waiting for the install.
Aren't there lots of games you don't wont to play anymore, either because you didn't like them, or because you're just through with them (which might mean one or lots of playthroughs, depending on you and the game)?

Quoting: KimyrielleHonestly, the probably biggest application of Civ multiplayer is LAN, and chances are that computers in the same use the same OS, no?
... and the biggest application of Civ isn't multiplayer to begin with.

The Linux port of Banished is still alive, the developer plans their next game to launch cross-platform on day-1

I don't care about Banished too much, but it sure sound like his next project has a good chance to see light on multiple platforms!

Quoting: KuJoWhy are other companies and games able to support this? (*head shaking*)
Which ones? Feral had (has?) its share of problems with AMD support as well...

Quoting: sasannGreat. Another sub-par, Nvidia only port. Pass.
Such comments make me want a dislike button.

Which game was it they added official AMD support to months after the Linux release lately?

I don't like the optics of Project Zomboid in general, but these maps actually look nice.

A note about security after a possible security issue was discovered

Quoting: EikeWhile disclosing security concerns publicly without having communicated privatly before is obviously not the optimal thing to do, it's still probable that the guy on IRC made the website more safe, not more unsafe.
I’ll go light a fire in your wood house so then you’ll thank me for having shown you that is was not safe, eh?
It's more like giving a lit match to someone next to petrol :P
The analogy has more flaws, as the owner of the wooden house already knows that it could burn and you didn't know about the security problem. As said: It's safer now, and it wouldn't be if he wouldn't have looked at the sources.
