Quoting: aLman... you know how to bump me on a tuesdays... why the negative speculations? If is not confirmed by other sources i say this are spineless rumors...

I'd be happy if somenone's got contradicting information from comparibly reliable sources.

Quoting: lucifertdarkMy son was bought an Oculus DK2 for christmas, having tried it myself for a few hours I WANT ONE! I'll wait till it's working with Linux, no money from me till then.

Would you adopt me? ;)

Quoting: CybaCowboyGone are the days when one can upgrade their stuff forever I guess...

I wonder if this is the approach all the Steam Machine vendors will take, or if we'll see more "traditional" computers (i.e. desktop-like)?

They're supposed to stand in the living room, so they should fit there optically, no?

Quoting: enzI don't think that "Gattis smiled mischievously" is a good translation within this context, probably "Gattis smiled half-jokingly" is more accurate.

Maybe "impishly", "tricksy" or "waggishly" fit better (never heard any on these), but there's no joke in "schelmisch".

That sounds very interesting - except those technical issues. I'd be interesting in hearing when/if these are fixed. I'll subscribe to your forum posts, I guess.

Quoting: lvlarkI must say I have to agree with this, and not only for the short games mentioned. I can imagine that for an RPG, character creation and starting quests take more than two hours. And then, upon finally getting outdoors, the game appears to be too heavy for your system...

After two hours into Pillars of Eternity, I hated the game and might have returned it.
I lost about every fight several times with a single character - and it didn't get much better after gathering a party!
Now I'm 50 hours into it and I like it very much.
So, yes, two hours might be not enough to judge some games.
Maybe something like 20% of average completion time, but at least half an hour or such might be more fair.
But the refund policy already is quite nice as it is.

Quoting: NovenI just submitted refund requests for crappy windows games that I never played. I should get like $85 back that I can spend on linux games.

They said the games must be no older than 14 days, but... good luck!

Interesting stuff about it from developers, commented by TotalBiscuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPUToCNq-iA [External Link]
One thing he mentions is that you only need one copy of a game to initiate an avalanche of illegal copies, and that it doesn't really matter if that one is refunded or not.

Quoting: wojtek88Developers won't be forced to make games work on Linux distributions

They never were. Even Feral and Aspyr support a very small amount of distributions - if I remember correctly, about 1 of them, maximal 2. You cannot port to Linux if this would force you to support Debian and Arch and Gentoo and LFS.

I prefer a port on par with Windows, but not supporting all hardware/drivers, to a mediocre one.
But of course, in this case that's easily said as an Nvidia user.
