Quoting: MohandevirIt's sad to see these "legacy" 2012-2016 native Linux ports (failed Steam Machines) falling into decay like this, one by one, but it's unfortunately not unexpected.

It's pretty similar to how you buy a ROM aka Ocarina of Time for say Nintendo Wii from their and it stops getting updates someday.

Quoting: MohandevirProton is not the solution either... Linux gaming is still "dependent" on Windows, playing a game of trying to catch up with Windows' new gaming features, thus making Linux a perpetual second grade citizen. Still better than nothing, though.

I disagree, Proton is about creating "Containers" around games to preserve them. As long as they're not targeting a "Moving Target" and the game is in a static-state they seem to consistently knock down barriers and enable Games on a Steam Linux OS Platform.

Quoting: MohandevirIt's just that it highlights the fact that no solutions are 100% thrustworthy. That's the saddest part, imo.

Honestly, I think it just underlines the hardships businesses are having this year from Corona-virus lockdowns. Adapting is hard.

They really should have never broken cross-platform compatibility.

As long as the core games still works I'm not a fan of bitching too hard. For me that's what I bought it for.

I assume you can play it via Proton if you want without too much hassle

Quoting: AppelsinYou should consider doing like the cool kids does, and set all your lights to bright blue, game late at night, then complain that you can't seem to get properly sleept in the evening or sleep properly (almost as if your circadian rythm was out of whack), then proceed to get mild depression due to lack of sleep 😋

Honestly, if you have the luxury of staying at home, out of all of the years this is a pretty damn good time to do it with the climate going AWOL and everything else.

Live the life of a king, stay home and do something that matters (fires up vim + git)

What I really like about Valve is that they don't just give the whole prize pool to a few winners, but if you come in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, all the way to at least 8th place you get a small chunk of the prize -- everybody has gotta eat -- putting in that much time to become a professional and work with a team is a massive commitment.

Watching The International every year has been my Super Bowl, DOTA2 is a lot of fun. Their marketplace is great to you can build Skins and buy and sell most wearable items for only a few pennies each. Valve has been wicked smart these years.

Edit: I would have supported them canceling the in-person main event and doing the whole playoffs with social distancing -- say the 5 team members and captain in isolated booths, but then I know that would seriously modify the event. I watch it on stream anyways -- I've looked into going in person and its a few thousand to go and get hotel reservations, food, transportation, etc...

A VR version, a Engine Update, or anything really -- I'll take it. Left 4 Dead is a real fun game, I used to LAN it in 2007 with school mates.

Of course top of my list would be Left 4 Dead 3 VR/Traditional ;P

I was expecting more WHATABOUTISM using ego defense mechanism RATIONALIZING how Microsoft is GOOD or TRUSTWORTHY or I LIKE THEM, lol.

Good for Blender, and good on the community not being over CHARMED by these simple business deeds.

Looks like you can play StarCraft / BroodWar on Pi4 too so that's hella awesome,

I like the VESA mount -- could make a good Client / Server Linux setup just mounted on the back of a monitor anywhere in the house.

I am big on Aluminum though and not Plastic, but it is cheap so idk looks interesting.

I feel like they are a little disconnected from the market, from what I've seen the market wants a strong AMD gpu laptop device.
