However, we are disappointed by the promotion of piracy by some

I have not seen that anywhere, would be interesting to see where they stumbled across this.

I did convert my grandmother to Linux. Her needs the OS and Applications fit perfectly well, so ye, that worked out (my grandmother is good in adopting to things too, and she's over 80).

I am fairily confident I could do the same with my Parents. I certainly couldn't with my Sister, my best friend (she's graphics designer) and a few other persons in my Family, because I know they use tools they'd miss.

We are not, and will not in the near future be anywhere close to taking a market share as Apple does, because yes, the users are using those tools and they'd miss it. It's not about the OS, the regular user couldn't care less. It's all about the applications.

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: Grim85Politics - there are microsoft published titles using UE4 (and probably DX12) - by all means they'll make vulkan a windows option, but I'd bet these politics will keep it not the default

Doesn't Tim Sweeney like to complain about MS? Going all way Vulkan sounds like an easy way to undermine some of MS hegemony.

He always complains, but actually they never took real action. They just hold the hammer above the heads.

The state our graphics stack was in, it was expected that Valve can not change the world overnight. They're investing real money into our display stack (drivers/mesa) by hiring developers.

It was never expected that our graphics driver will be anywhere closed to complete and stable within a year or two. If they continue to invest like that, if we're lucky, that's by 2020 that Mesa is anywhere close to NVidia.

For Vulkan - don't know, still a lot of work needed - i know - but it's quite "there" already, working and stable.

I'll have to check that one. Didn't know it existed until now. Maybe they can convince me to buy their next title at release :-).

Quoting: poke86Personnal rule : If there isn't a playable Linux demo I'm not backing it.

If they mean to deliver a year from now (august 2018), dev is probably pretty far along. Let's hope they have cross-platform tools.

As Alexey Drobyshevsky is there, my bet goes that they will be using Unity. Hope they didn't opt for middleware which isn't cross platform yet.

Will buy after release of at least a beta, for I do not know the studio.

I do not support studios with zero experience. I have had too many games kickstarted for Linux which were never released at all for Linux, so I got careful about that.
