No idea where that came from though.
Feral's based in London. Everything starts with tea over there.

Quoting: STiATI doubt that any game supporting Vulkan will come out any time soon, since drivers of the Ubuntu LTS are not up for it (NVidia 304.131)
Feral's had drivers newer than what's been available out-of-the-box on Ubuntu as a minimum requirement before. My bet is on Mad Max powered by plain "old" OpenGL 4 though.

Quoting: liamdaweGreat news, will you bag a copy when it releases for Linux?
I will most definitely bag a copy, thanks for asking. In fact, I will bag it so hard I'd better find a really sturdy bag and hope the copy survives the impact. I should also find a good therapist for my wallet.
I got this for you, looks like your thing:
Needs moar bling!

Valve have made some big changes to the Steam Reviews system

Quoting: khalismurAnd that's why they implemented the refund system, without questions asked for games recently bought and little play time. It's basically a demo for all steam titles.
I guess, although there's the added hurdle of having to pay upfront, going through the whole process, and getting the refund as steam wallet funds regardless of your payment method (unless I'm mistaken). I'd rather have a no-nonsense demo instead.

Quoting: salamanderrakeName me one person who has made a living on code they gave to a GPL project?
Ever heard of Linus Torvalds? And he's not the only one getting paid to work on GPL licensed software. Several software companies have built their businesses around open source software and pay their employees or other companies to work on them.

The Steam key for Classic Redux is 0.99 € in the Humble Store [External Link], in case someone's interested. Does look slightly better than the original as long as you're cool with Steam.

I was kinda slow with this one, but here goes anyway:

Quoting: mastereduDonating to someone doing the work Epic Games is actualy meant to do... this is insane. I appreciate his work, but come on, that is realy Epic Games work, and I wont support Epic Games any longer!!! They had 2 years to bring the Epic Games launcher to linux, and still 0 AFFORD.
I can sympathise, but you are still coming off a bit entitled. It would be awesome if Linux was a higher priority at Epic, but allowing a volunteer contributor to do this is infinitely better than not. Of course I wish they'd pay Yaakuro directly for his contributions, but this is how a lot of commercially run open source projects work. You might think it's "insane" to volunteer in a project that directly benefits a commercial enterprise, but please don't decide for others. And please don't pan a company for opening their product to public contributions. That's just counterproductive.

Quoting: TheGZeusAnother procedurally generated survival crafting game.
That really is disappointing. I somehow expected a story-focused action adventure with an original style and premise.
It was mentioned somewhere that the story part of the game would not appear in the betas, only in the final game.
The gameplay does not seem interesting, so I'm not holding my breath. The game would need a damn good story to compensate.
