For a company that started as a mac-exclusive, it is pretty goofy to be so hostile.

Dear Gaben,

An HL game we've been promised,
Cliffhangered in episode 2 and ever since
We've been waiting patiently for this
Release third episode, for we are those
Who'll spend any kind of money on an HL game,
Even when we don't have any.

P.S. If poetry ain't enough I'll do a power metal version of it and the whole web will be sorry

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is out, run it on Linux with one small change
26 Jan 2022 at 10:54 pm UTC

I got pretty incensed about Serious Sam 4 not coming to Linux despite their early claims.

To be honest I may buy it someday but if I have to consider Proton games there are much better FPS I should buy before even considering eyeing this one.

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard

Recent history showed people want to use Steam as they consider it the superior storefront.
Would Microsoft force their own store upon gamers, it would reinforce Valve's commitment in Linux even further.
As for UWP, even Windows gamers don't want it.
That's just my view on the subject though, only time will tell.

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard

This is a first in Microsoft history:

- Usually, they buy a successful studio at its highest, then they mess it all with their poor management until the creative leadership of the company resigns. Examples: Lionhead, Rare, Bungie...

- Now, they prefer to buy companies after they've already lost all their creativity. Can't be that much worse if it's already terrible, right?

Microsoft, thank you so much for being yourself. If one ever tried to parody you, they wouldn't even be able to pull it in such a blatantly clichéd manner (they would lack the money anyway...)

Now XBox players will get to see Doom 6 and Diablo 4 released with even worse technical problems than their predecessors!

I don't mind having to pass on that one.

GNOME Shell 42 to have better mouse input that will help gaming

Quoting: elmapulanother fix for a bug we didnt knew existed but was a huge deal...
Wayland's input handling on GNOME is still a work in progress. Not so long ago you couldn't play an FPS on XWayland because mouse pointer couldn't snap to window properly. On the bright side, things are accelerating and taking a great turn of event.

Valve reportedly developing a Half-Life shooter-strategy hybrid

Quoting: JuliusProbably not (sadly all FPS/RTS hybrids so far have been a commercial failure)
This is right, but with the exception of the Savage series. Savage 2 in particular had a great player count and its gameplay is still the best to this day for a hybrid.

Quoting: CatKiller"Preferences" could be OK for the settings of the system, but that might be confused with preferences for the menu.
And now I'm the one who's confused :dizzy:
