Our Linux & SteamOS gamer survey results for January 2016
25 Feb 2016 at 12:56 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestLinux games bought (and related) graph(s) are interesting. I guess it coincides with xcom2.
How? XCOM 2 wasn't available in january.

Ah... title is wrong?

Nvidia Vulkan Driver updated

Quoting: Cybolic
Quoting: dubigrasuI have some promising results with this new driver, as in Vulkan is already faster: [...]

That was the Talos Principle benchmark BTW.
Considering that Talos isn't event optimised yet, but basically just running on a wrapper, that's quite impressive!
I still think you missunderstood the usage of "wrapper" in this context. They wrapped the engine around Vulkan, which is totally reasonable, not e. g. Vulkan around OpenGL or something. In the end, the engine will still sit on Vulkan. Or be "wrapped around it" if you want to express it that way.

Quoting: GuestBut honestly, the HIBs are the only thing I buy there nowadays, as anything else is either windows- or steam-only. That the store page doesn't even load properly in my browser might be an additional point....
Yeah, they've gone mostly Windows for their other offers. It's nice they keep with Linux (and Mac) for the traditional bundle, though. But I've got so many unplayed games from bundles and my pile of shame that I refrain from buying the bundles nowadays.

Square Enix comes to SteamOS & Linux, Hitman GO: Definitive Edition released
23 Feb 2016 at 7:47 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestI don't believe my eyes... A game that supports Linux but not OS X? Is this a first among commercial game releases to do this?
There are quite of few of these already. Just look through the Linux catalogue on Steam...

Looks like Evolve might still come to Linux & SteamOS

By the way, no matter the current community size, we always might end up with no crossplatform multiplayer.

Quoting: MaxPowerAlso I found it very difficult to buy games full price when I have to wait a long time to cope on Linux. That's why day 1 release are very important.
Same here. Waited for a sale on Grid: Autosport, happily bought Xcom 2 for full price.

Quoting: scaineYeah, Evolve might be beyond saving, sadly.



Looks like it was popular at one point though. Still £25 to buy too!
I'm not finding this kind of statistics, how do you get there?

Let's be realistic, some Mac and Linux gamers won't revive a gaming community, they'd just jump into a game that basically seems to be dead. Too bad, I was looking forward for that one once upon a time.
