Quoting: Maokei

Quoting: MohandevirMmmm... Wondering if it has something to do with MIR and Ubuntu announced xorg "legacy" support...

Just hypothetical but MIR is coming to Unity (Ubuntu) and Canonical could decide to implement the support for the SteamOS version of Xorg. I might be wrong.

This would explain why Ubuntu is still recommended by Valve for developpers but it would cause à lot of problems to other distros if they intend to drop Xorg in favor of Wayland...

There is still xmir and xwayland for xorg support but steamos and many other distros will stick with xorg for quite a while ahead display server is quite a vital component that just has to work I doubt valve would want to make a switch and risk braking steamos boxes with out a proven track record for ither mir/wayland.

I get what you mean and it's logical but I'm not talking about SteamOS switching Xorg. For sure, they won't. Not for quite a while. What I'm talking about is Xmir for Ubuntu that could be a copy of SteamOS'custom Xorg, the one Valve is using atm.

Anyway, we are speculating...

Now you're talking!

It's the only game that I bought and couldn't play it yet because I have no Windows station.

Now I feel whole. :)

*Edit:
The game looks great but WASD is not working so I just stand there and shoot what comes around. The toons are moving without any form of animations. They are just sliding from one place to the other. Really weird looking!

All these games coming before 2015? Wow!
Lots of gameplay ahead for us!

What about Pillars of Eternity?

Quoting: Teal

Quoting: sevenso we can expect minecraft 2 soon exclusively on xbox.... it will (hopefully) fail

As if it mattered.

There's already, without exaggeration, a dozen or more Minecraft clones and spinoffs. The brand doesn't really mean that much anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised if they lock the thing to Windows only and sue anybody that uses that kind of block system so they stop using it... Would not be a never before seen way of doing business for M$$$...

I'm probably going to give it a try. I don't own it yet but I heard a lot of good about it.

Yes!!! Finally!

Bought that game a year ago expecting for a Linux release. Did that only because it's Valve and at that moment I had a "Investing for the future" minding but I never tought it would take so long...

I used to play 90's looking game back in the 90's. I don't get the vintage vibe, I need more.

This is absolutely not my kind of game and I won't give money for that. There are plenty of free websites with games of this kind and even better graphics.

Sorry I must be close-minded.

Because when I use Linux, it feels like it really is my machine.

I do whatever I want and I don't feel borders beacause MS don't want you to do this or that because they want you to buy, buy, buy...

It's all about Freedom!

I turned my Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity (desktop that I prefer) into a Steam Machine (Steam login) and a XBMC center (XBMC Desktop). Do whatever you like and don't wait for any authorization from anybody. I got complete control over MY pc. I choose what I want in it and what I don't want.

Since the realease of Steam for Linux, I turned all my pc into Linux systems. The Linux catalog totally meets my needs for gaming. I don't miss Windows at all.

Anyway, for me having to pay for an OS feels like having to buy the key that will start my car... It doesn't feel right.

Yes, it worked with 331.20 but it's not the best driver for the Maxwell architecure. This is why I wrote "fully supported". 340.32 should include a performance boost too.
