So you're suggesting we should stop buying games at all, then? As if that would help anything...!

That's obviously not what they're suggesting.

It's not what they intended to suggest, but is it not really, in practise? When you think about it?

The list of major developers supporting Linux today is... Practically non-existing. There's *no* games that I want to play being released the last year that's pushed by a Linux supporting developer. And I'm not here to play Tux Cart and tiny retro indies for the coming years.

So yes - in *reality* that's the suggestion. And my point is of course that this suggestion is meaningless. If we don't purchase the games from devs that don't care, they won't even notice. The *only* consequence is that we won't be experiencing those games.

Tastes differ. I mean, I have a bias towards buying games that are native over using Proton, but it's fairly mild. And yet, so far I've only actually bought ONE game with the intent to play it on Proton (So far, it doesn't work).
Thing is that I happen to be mostly into strategy games or games like Shadowrun with turn-based combat, and Linux is pretty well supplied with that kind of stuff. If your taste is AAA stuff, then yeah, I expect Linux native seems like much more of a wasteland.

In any case, Beamboom is putting words in Termy's mouth, and that's just not nice.

Yes, I realise some people really want to buy and play games that are not available on Linux natively, and I think that's perfectly understandable. It's helping preserve the status quo, but there's few enough of us that I doubt it actually matters that much.

I do hope they buy Linux games as well to actually grow the market for those developers who support our platform, but if they don't even like any of those games, I guess that's too much to ask. At least they're playing their Windows games on Linux, which means that not all of their choices are bad. ;)

Quoting: drmothAre there any games that run flawlessly on Yuzu or are they all still works in progress?

Looking at their compatibility list [External Link], there should be plenty. No idea if the list is up to date.

Quoting: ArehandoroGibbous was an overall very good game, and probably near-mage too, but somehow the art looks of lower quality than it predecessor. It also looks like the world is based on will be the same than Gibbous.

I thought exactly the same thing watching the trailer. Perhaps it's just because it's so early?

Very much hope so :)

The game might not look quite as nice as Gibbous, but it's still a lot prettier and better animated than a whole bunch of excellent adventure games. I won't mind at all if this is what the finished product looks like.

There's bound to be an Extender Group looming in the background, biding their time to acquire Embracer, and finally an Extinguisher Group that snags the whole bunch just before they declare bankruptcy and go down in flames. (No, wait...)

Anyway, I'm sure it's all a big conspiracy.

Careful, having your own opinion is a conspiracy theory these days.

I've got plenty of opinions and I'm not shy about speaking my mind, yet nobody has ever called me a conspiracy theorist. Maybe I need to try harder?

Quoting: tuubiI don't think you've earned the right to use the word. Let's call it summer lite or something.

Haha, nah that's totally winter. I was looking at my thermometer the other night at about 2am and it was down to 10 degrees! Ten! I think we can all agree that's just intolerable ;)

Damn whingers with their fake winters...

Talk to me when you go below -30c.

If that's winter temperatures for you, I don't think you've earned the right to use the word. Let's call it summer lite or something.

Quoting: GuestIm sad with the new UI. It looks good but i get around 3 fps when scrolling in steam ui on my gtx 1080 (at 4k resolution). This only happens on linux. Its sad to see that valve has ignored this issue for many years. The old UI ran at 144 fps on my computer (fps limit).

Try toggling GPU acceleration in Steam's interface settings if you haven't already. That might help while you wait for a proper fix.
