I cant imagine merging indie inocense with corporate ruthlessness turning out well.

Well, maybe now IGN can stop shitposting everything that isnt AAA for $$$ now that they own a significsnt distribution mechanism used by indies.

We will see how much IGN abuses their new play toy in the coming months.

Quoting: wolfyrionI wonder why these are purchasable and not free... :o?
I dont see any new high textures or a remake of these games in HD.
There are so old games that should be for free for the the new generation to enjoy the old Arcade Games.

Well anyway you can easily grab a MAME Emulator for Linux and play them for free if you know where to get the ROMS.

Because taking capitalism to the limit would make even the air you breath require a mandatory nominal fee.

Just imagine jurisdiction passing in China requiring all citizens to pay for cleaner air then X company planting tons of trees or something just to extract cash from the common people while pocketing 80% of the funds for CEO bonus pay.

Imagine a world where you pay for every minuet of internet access you need. You get 1,000 minuets of Internet for $30, and that only includes the top 50 websites, for access to GOL you are charged a extra 4.99, Slashdot $8.97, OMGUbuntu $4.97 this is the nightmare world we hopefully never enter into.

Quoting: cprnI ride a motorcycle. :><: Hatred grows when I see arcade physics...

Tuche -- I drive a car, hatred grows when everything is F1 physics.

Or how bout this scenario -- I play a FPS, haterid grows when attention is focused on realistic gun sounds, graphics and physics.

And this one too - I play a RPG, haterid grows when attention is focused so much on graphics that story & character arcs are just a afterthought.

Considering open-source is the ultimate zombie I can't imagine anything open source could ever be killed.

I imagine that even if all development haulted someone from X country would pick up the torch and it would be seen through to completion with no challenge to the local laws of X country.

If we really want to, since Linux is already on the International Space Station, we could start our own country on the moon with the new Moon Base coming.

I wonder if this will be a big part of Atari's strategy bringing valued classics back to the hands of consumers easily in 2018 with their new console.

This is as exciting as it was last year to see mesamatrix.net fill in as MESA has grown up.

Wonderful work @all, keep the torch burning and kick some ass -- incredible achievement so far.

I follow this occasionally.

It looks like its from the golden age of gaming. One mans vision crafted carefully into what may develop into an amazing game thats super fun.

My vision is for it to be a sortof MechWarrior meets StarCraft meets GNOME game but well see.

The Textures looked artifacted at first glance but now on closer inspection i see the high res.

@const -- how does a steamlink get bricked? Was the wrong DC brick used on it? That's a first I've heard, I wonder what the warranty is on them.

I predicted that AMD APU's would make market entry affordable and possible witj MESA being in such good shape.

I hope to see a 2018 APU with top notch integrated graphics when it comes.

This could be a big deal. I would be willing to buy in if the specs are right and can do the majority of our games.

Atari is a name that could sell SteamBoxes or Linux Gaming like no one else.
