Quoting: mr-eggIs there any doubt that Gaming is the new gold rush ? Make something decent and never have to work in a traditional job for the rest of your life ( okay, easier said than done ) make something half decent get it on steam and its still a good few years away from the grind.

It is. We are in a new renascence where godly tools are now in the hands of mere mortals and we're seeing the birth of many new kinds of games which are going toe to toe with the traditional game development model.

Take for example Stardew Valley, they've sold 1,442,067 copies at 14.99 pulling in 21.6 Million Dollars for a single developer probably developing the thing in mums house.

Gaming is a gold mine for people with a little bit of OCD, Passion, Hypo-Mania and technical ability meshed with innovative skills.

Quoting: MblackwellI had thought about buying it at some point in the future until he made a lot of anti-Linux statements. I'm sure there are a lot of other Linux users of a similar mindset.

@Mblackwell - I can't Imagine what you're reffering to, oh wait... nevermind.

Quoting: Garry Newman@adevland Of course. If i could do it again I'd have never supported linux.

How to piss off an entire community into boycotting you thereby loosing you and your company sales, press attention, internet back links, fans, and gamers and respect.

Perhaps Garry Newman should apologize for being a asshat and win back some our respect, otherwise it's straight to the toilet for his stuff IMO.

So 19.99 * 34,291 = 685,477.09

So In other words Rust has sold an extra 700 thousand dollars (assuming his numbers are honest.)

Also also being based on a Game Engine - Unity3D which Supports Deploying to Linux.

I know like 10 people who use Linux and guess what? 0 of them play Rust - they all play Ark.

The reviews have been mediocre and kept me of any of my Linux Gaming Clan from buying, and also - the anti-linux remarks from the creator have turned me off to ever buying anything from him.

*snap*

Maybe Gary should quit Gaming Development and become and Accountant instead :P

RetroArch never installed right on my last Archlinux, I couldn't get it working.

Anywho, scaling up to 1920x1080 or 3840x2160 is essential at some point.

It's nice to have a emulator that takes care of all of the parts that muphen64 doesnt - CLI configuration and saving doesn't sound fun to me. I'm amazed they have no GUI.

Quoting: poke86Excellent! I'll definitely pick up a copy. It seems the Linux/Mac beta is open, too?
In the SteamDB branches:

Quotemac_linux_test | Help test the mac and linux releases!

and there's no lock.

Can someone confirm this?

Yes it's showing up in my girls Arch Linux Steam under the Beta tab.

It does require a beta code though, if anyone has the code and wants to share I wouldn't mind. My copy comes when they launch Linux and especially when they launch multiplayer who knows when hopefully Starbound Developers don't screw that up.

Quoting: hardpenguin

Quoting: ElectricPrismI held off buying this because of the Early Access after Storm United going dark :(

On a scale of 1 to 10 for FPS players who like Halo, etc... how good is this?

Pretty good. Personally it reminds me a bit of Team Fortress 2 and maybe Urban Terror. Fast, but not too fast paced shooter with fun classes. It's only 7 euro and definitely worth the price!

Thats sorta of the problem, I agree its worth it yet I would rather shell out $60 and have one FPS to play and get good at instead of 5.

I really wish Halo Online would work on wine it's a great play.

This is fantastic, 17% are confirmed, no doubt the unconfirmed % may be higher.

This is how the avalanche starts.

More games leads to better drivers leads to more sales leads to better steam machines leads to more games leads to...
