I don't play online multiplayer games but I think it's good that you continue to report on the negative aspects as well as the positive.

Who knows, maybe some gaming corp. executive will see this and have an epiphany about recovering the potential income being lost by EA's stance on the matter...

Well ... the last game I bought from EA was BioWare's Dragon Age: Origins. So, I guess the deal got sealed for me a long time ago.

@rapchee
... is there anyone on windows 10 following this site? gaming on linux?
There are a number of us on this site that (willingly or unwillingly) dual boot for numerous reasons, so, yes, we would be interested in knowing this information.

Besides, the only gatekeeper for what news is appropriate for this site is Liam. It's his site, after all. :wink:

OpenMW 0.50.0 for Morrowind has a first Release Candidate with gamepad support and a gamepad UI

Given that Morrowind came out on the original Xbox, I would have thought OpenMW already had controller support as it was part of the vanilla engine. If course, I'm a mouse & keyboard player myself.

If you're a fan, I imagine you are aware of Freespace 2 Open, which you can install via the Knossos launcher. I tried it for the open source Babylon 5 mod, The Babylon Project.

Yea, the 580 driver series will be the last for Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta-series GeForce GPUs. The 10 series GPUs are mostly Pascal chips. Here's the link to Nvidia's post:

OpenMW 0.50.0 for Morrowind has a first Release Candidate with gamepad support and a gamepad UI

Morrowind remains my favorite game of all time. I have been a fan for over 20 years and still play it regularly -- carefully modded and in the OpenMW engine, of course!

IMO, OpenMW surpassed the vanilla engine (MCP/MWGE patched) with version 0.48.0. The only flaw I see is the lack of support for MWSE-based mods, no matter what excuse the devs give.

I wouldn't bother with the Premium trial. It's just for 3 days. They're getting trashed for the offer in the comments.

Well, there goes BioWare...

It seems like most companies bought out by "investment consortiums" tend to tank. All these investment groups seem to care about is "raping and pillaging" their acquisitions, rather than long term management.

I hadn't known about that but, somehow, I am not surprised. Thanks for the link to the article.
