I wonder if they'll do VR. I can't wait to play this, looks amazing.

I bought a dongle, honestly I miss my X360 controllers because they were so hazel free besides a fat USB dongle adding cordage. Too bad they're hard to buy now :\

Edit:

So will it run well after that? I forgot about DOOM after they didn't do a Linux version, this sounds like a good motivation for me to buy a copy to play on Proton+Vulkan.

Quoting: slaapliedjeShit, while I don't really want to, I may have to switch to an AMD card, what's the latest/greatest at this point?
My recent GPU history is
2x GTX 970
1x RX 480
2x RX 580
2x RX 590
2x RX VEGA 64

I was thinking of getting a RX 5700 XT -- I think it depends on whether or not the juce is worth the squeeze. You can find deals. I would love a 5700 XT but I try to skip a generation between upgrades to get more value out of my card, and then hand-me down them to other local Linux users I know because I know the drivers make the Linux Experience a much MUCH better one than closed.

I really have no complaints other than the first 6 months of a new GPU release might be a bumpy ride if it's not your thing, but there is 0 chance presently that any of my Destkop Linux, Gaming Linux or Server Linux will go back to Nvidia with their closed-blob driver -- I highly recommend AMD on Linux -- the experience far exceeds AMD vs Nvidia on Windows, their open driver is just damn fucking good.

The RX 5XX is VERY stable. Vega was a little touchy at first and is Gen-1, but it's in good shape now. For me I'm gonna skip the 5700 for now -- if I was gonna get new I would definitely target 5700 XT especially if your display is 4k.

Google Stadia, now shipping 90s content -- look out SEGA Channel! What's Next Golden Axe II? Maybe we'll get StarCraft 64 :P

Give me a BattleTanx Global Assault BlockBuster rental and we'll be in business.

Unreal Engine without Unreal Tournament? Doesn't feel right.

Valve has delayed The International tournament for Dota 2 and it may not happen until 2021

They should make TI 2020 digital. Players will still want their loot and legendary skins and other timed-exclusive content, and players will still want to stream such an event, though I know the canonical style of the event can't happen. It would be cool if they could do something and maintain player isolation.

Valve drops support for SteamVR on macOS to focus on Linux & Windows

The Apple has gone rotten lol.

It doesn't take a genius to see the direction a company is headed to predict the future. Years back their refusal to update to current OpenGL, and then their hostility toward holding back Steam from a update on the App Store and then refusal to allow Vulkan on OSX -- and now for "reasons" Valve is dropping their experimental OSX support -- I guarantee it's because Apple made it difficult and lent no hands -- I mean why would they when they both make money on a % of App Sales -- they are direct competition in that model.

I'm just so glad I swore off their products 10 years ago after the absolute shit-show it was to download and upload music to and from a iPod

Download Music From Your iPod ???

Back in the day it just used to be Microsoft shafting users -- now all these companies have joined the club. May they Rot in pieces, we don't need them or want the trash they're pushing.
