I wish they would require a minimum play time in order to leave a review - or even esteem reviewers who have completed 50% or 100% of the game.

So what's the general consensus?

A lot of people have been riled up about the incredible delay of this coming to SteamOS - and some of us believed it would not happen.

Is the Linux community willing to overlook the rough ride and enjoy a well designed, fun and addictive game?

In most cases I will salve my frustrations when developers change their attitude and or deliver, in this case the vexation is alleviated because OP delivered finally.

I am stoked too that it runs good on AMDGPU as it pairs nicely with my RX 480 - I just borrowed a copy for 20 minuets and it seemed fun.

This is a game I always thought to try, but would never buy with limited information - a demo seems like the perfect lure.

@lod - that was a fun watch, thanks for the entertainment - as a programmer I know that mans pain, I've disected 10,000 files of procedural code to convert a application in a service for a new UX, the most brilliant and spaghetti part was when I had to code a custom blow-fish decryption module to interface with the existing system to authenticate logins, what a nightmare.

It might be cool to have a uhm place where it displays UTC time like say in the website sidebar so we know when things are going to happen. I google for UTC time every time these come up and I pretty much miss 90% of the streams because of confusion, or being busy, but mainly confusion.

Switched to Red Camp AMDGPU - RX480.

It runs most games well @ 1080p - about 300 FPS in CS:S and CS:GO each (Though theres some weird anti aliasing or filtering slow down I had to turn down low.)

I'm curious how much juice they can pull out of their AMD Falcon SoC APU. I guess at 440p you wouldn't even need anti aliasing @ 1080p, I sortof honestly feel like a handheld would do better at 720p at this size to conserve GPU and maximize framerate.

This will be a interesting watch, I consider AMD to be becoming a increasingly dangerous contender to Nvidia, especially in the Linux scene.

They put the cart before the horse huh? We see how well that turned out.

ARK is the only game in my steam library that I can't launch on my RX 480 with AMDGPU. Is there anyone in red camp that knows what the fix is? I'm not dying to play but I would like to know if it'll launch or not.

I feel the need to point out that what "is and is not rude" is a very culturally dependent thing, so bear in mind that the companies and even we ourselves are from a diverse group of cultures, for fsck's sake we barely even acknowledge that we all have different cuss words, greetings and goodbyes.

In ancient times it was rude to not greet passers by on the road and have a ceremonial lunch, over in england if you engage someone taking away their public privacy it could be considered rude, over in china if you take too much of a first serving on dinner it's rude, in america chewing with your mouth open is rude, so many different expectations and perceptions.

Anyways, if we all can just put some gravy on our differences and appreciate the vast spectrum we all represent that would be great.

So back to the context - it may or may not be rude in our country, but what's important is if it is rude where they're from and if the intention was ill. The only person who knows for sure is the rep.

I say good on them for communicating with our crazy asses.
