Skylanders Spyro's Adventure with Wine?! How is it working? Somebody hacked the Portal of Power?! I've been trying to run that one via Dolphin-Emu for quite some time without success. Anyone got a "How to"?

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Wait, SteamOS is dead? I might as well stop supporting it with tools and software /s

This article is hilarious. I am eager for them to get to Debian Stretch as a base so I can push updates to some popular items and build software like RPCS3.

Keep doing your awesome work. IMO, SteamOS is a really interesting project and you are the main reason why I keep coming back to give it a new shot once in a while.

Quoting: HoriAlso the Link... I don't even think I need to explain this, but the Link was a big succes. There are so many people who want to stream their games to their TV and don't want a loud / big secondary PC to do that, or to draw a long video cable. The Link does all of this wirelessly, and it is just a very small and nice-looking box - not to mention dead quiet.

This...

Steam Link is evolving.

Quoting: HoriFor SteamOS on the other hand... well there's Windows + Steam in BPM, or regular desktop Linux + Steam in BPM. Or hell, even Mac + Steam in BPM if you're into that kind of stuff.... all of those can do pretty much the same stuff that SteamOS does (at least in the user's eyes). Then there's also the traditional consoles but there will be many differences.

Personally, I use that:

It comes at the cost of automated updates and driver meddling but I find it a lot easier to hack and more versatile than SteamOS. Just my personal preference.

This is really ugly... Smells like click bait and propaganda. With journalism like that, the goal is not to inform you. It feels more like manipulation to turn the readers away from Linux.

...Then they fight you...

#Facepalm!

I don't know. Just had to find a way to link it to Shadow of Mordor... Peter Jackson... Lord of the Rings... War... West Norwood... :)

"The Linux version is, to be absolutely blunt, terrible. It looks nothing like the Windows version graphically, performs very poorly for me (lots of reports of terrible performance on Windows too though) and some of it is completely broken on Linux."

Let's hope it as to do with this...

... And that the Linux version will get patched with this version.

I will wait for the Vulkan version review before bying it. :)

Quoting: GuestJaycee is not a reliable source. He always twists things to make others (usually Linux users) look like horrible persons.

Yeah, I hate the platform so much that I put so much of my time and effort into it. Even now I have left VP, I just helped them get Micro Machines out of the door on Linux, because I hate Linux :P

My memory is blurred but I remember reading that TW2 was a first try for the eon wrapper and that TW2 was a "work in progress".

I always wondered why VP didn't released TW2 Linux as an open beta? Wouldn't it have "lessened" the backlash?

This is no critic and I respectfully ask because I know there are a lot of reasons to explain that. I'm fully aware that my knowledge of the gaming industry is limited.

Quoting: GuestI must say I am not quite sure why it is being assumed that because it's a first day release of Mac/Linux alongside Windows, it's assumed that the work on this is being done in house. This is not a given at all.

When you look at the Steam page, it's Codemaster's all over the place in the editors/distributors informations. No mention of Feral, Aspyr or VP. Other ports usually mention the porting studio. It's sure not a certainty and it might get updated in the coming days/weeks, but for the moment it looks like an in house port.

Jaycee has a point. Only if the contract says so. Aspyr & Feral have their names as they assume the role of Publisher for the Linux versions.

It could be anyone doing it on a contract simply on behalf of Codemasters. Ethan Lee ports for example or Icculus don't have their details on their ports as they were just contracted to work on them.

Not going to argue on that. Never pretended it was a sure thing. This said, any hints from these 2 guys? :)
