Quoting: meggermanAny idea of what the new UI code is written in ? If it is QT that would be pretty sweet.

It's probably going to still be good old Steam with just some modifications to the look and feel (probably mostly on the library part). I highly doubt that they do much more than that since that is already probably a collosal amount of work (that they should use for HL3 instead but that is another story) and nobody want radical changes to the software they use everyday.

Also we don't know if we are going to get those modifications at the same time as the Windows users are going to have them, and given Valve time they may not even be released this summer or even this year, so let not rejoice too quickly.

Quoting: operaNo rank reset is great. The competitive matches in the beginning of last season were just awful for days/weeks. The diversity in skill of the matched players was way to big leading to much frustration.

I've played against some grand champions (they were unranked but they still have the title), losing, but it was cool.

Quoting: liamdaweI also made sure to cover it when it was patched, to show how far it had come. This is what I do, this is my job.
Learn the difference between being critical and being hateful.

I didn't say you were hateful, quite the contrary actually if you read the whole post.

I'm not trolling, I'm making an argument about a subject that is important to me. The Linux gaming community continually takes blow and we got an habit of showing the other cheek, which is nice, but sometimes you got to stand and fight for what is right. The Linux community is not a hanful of haters, I will not let anyone say that and I will not let any Linux gamer admit it just so we can get the "pardon" of any gaming company. This has gone too far, we can't let think like that pass, and we cannot accept that company treat us like we are a handful of haters either.

But anyway I'm not suprised by your reaction, everytime a Linux gamer try to speak up for all the injustice that we get, someone come to shut him down, too afraid that the big companies might not like us anymore if we speak up. The result is that today Linux gamers are not respected anymore.

Well, guess what - there was a handful of haters going on! I'm saying it. The community was atrocious to VP. That happened, that was public, and I suggest you deal with it. It wasn't criticism, it was hatred.
You can speak up against companies that do shit to GNU/Linux, but it doesn't mean that GNU/Linux gamers (in this case) are perfect either. Door swings both ways. In this case, why doesn't someone who received so much crap from the community have the right to say that he received all that crap?
I don't think what happened to jaycee in particular is indicative of the community at large, and I don't think it's what things are like in general for most devs. But I also recognise that it's what it's like for him. Continued attacks on him and refusal to accept the situation is only going to reinforce his view....and quite honestly, it's making me think less of large portions of the community too.

You are not getting it, this hate wasn't from this community. I don't remember any pillars of the community either here or on reddit saying that we should send death threat or personal attacks to VP or CDPR or anyone at all, I don't even remember seeing any of this attacks and contrary to some people here might believe I wasn't certainly part of it and if you go back and find the threads you'll see that when the backlash happened I was among the guys defending VP (unlike liam).

I'd suggest you to search the threads again and read them yourself, and then you tell me if it were about people complaining about having paid for a non-playable game and bad communication or if it was hatred like you said.

Quoting: liamdaweI just want people to think a little more, but it's clear from people like "Nyamiou" that we have a lot of work to do. And yes, I know, you will never be able to make a community better than it is, but I will die trying ;)

You have a very selective memory, you were part of the backlash yourself and I wasn't.

Quoting: NyamiouThe idea that a company would judge an entire community over the reaction of a few individuals no matter how loud they can be is completely unacceptable, if CDRP are really like then they got the hate they deserved.

And "they got the hate they deserved" is the problem. People like YOU are exactly the problem.

People like me? WTF? seriously.

Sure. Since you consider that a company deserves hate (because of a product not meeting some people's expectations).

You should apply for a job in the Trump administration.

Bingo, congratulations on taking what I'm saying out of context and then laugthing at me for how silly this sound. You must be proud.

Seriously, you are a troll trying to turn people of the Linux community against each others. I don't know why you are doing that and I don't understand why people listen to you, but what I know is that they probably shouldn't.

Give me one good reasons you are telling that stuff, even if it were to be the truth, given the harm it does to the community?

You started to troll here, at least that's what it looks like to me. Please stop that, and please, _please_ stop anything directly against any particular person.

Quoting: NyamiouWho know if this guy is really who he claim he is, jaycee_1980 doesn't bring any results anywhere except on reddit and he's only been here for a month. Also who would use this surname, Jaycee is the name of a girl who was born in 1980 and was abducted at 11 year old for 18 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_of_Jaycee_Dugard [External Link]. For me this guy is a massive troll, plain and simple.

Obviously you think Liam is stupid then. Look me up on Steam. Ask Liam himself.

Even if you are who you claim you are, it doesn't means what you are saying is true, you might knowingly or unknowgly be exagerating the truth, making it up or missing important parts. The idea that a company would judge an entire community over the reaction of a few individuals no matter how loud they can be is completly unacceptable, if CDRP are really like then they got the hate they deserved.

Quoting: Nyamiou100$ for you is not much, but for some people, especially in poor countries, is a lot.

If $100 is too much for someone, then I think they should take care of that problem first before trying to get their game onto steam. I personally think $500-$1000 would be a much better as it's more of an investment; one that asset flippers and fake developers are less likely to take.

There are some genre like visual novels, point&click and humoristic games that have low investment and wouldn't take the risk of publishing on Steam if it means an additional $1000 investment.

Quoting: GuestWhat we want is good games, not games made only by rich people.

Well said.
