Quoting: MohandevirPersonally, I was able to steer my son away from Fortnite. He is now an Overwatch convert. At least, he's not giving any more money to Epic that is used to fight Linux gaming...

May I ask: how is Blizzard any better?

Read all my post and you will have your answer. If you are not satisfied by my answers, it's on you. I won't start a debate on the subject.

Edit: It's more than probable that we (linux gamers) just lost an high quality Feral port because of Epic's exclusivity garbage stuff. I really need to say more?

Quoting: scaineYep - Overwatch genuinely feels native for me on Lutris. Perfect sync of mouse on/off screen, no minimising of the app when I click out of it, superb performance, all features fully supported. It's excellent!

My son played a lot of Overwatch on our PS4, but he discovered the PC platform lately (gave him my older i7-3770, GTX960 4Gb). He asked me to show him how to run it on his Linux Mint desktop and he was hyped... Told him he would loose all of his progression on the PS4... "Don't care, playing on PC looks awesome."

What more to say? "... Ok." :)

Because, for my part, encouraging Epic in anyway is detrimental to Linux gaming. It's probably the single worst threat, atm. It's a total no-go.

I "liked" your comment because I agree with the concerns around Epic's exclusivity... but omg, Blizzard are hardly a shining beacon of light when it comes to a) being good guys, nor b) supporting Linux! :D

Five minutes watching Jim Sterling's videos on Blizzard would open anyone's eyes on what a shit-show they are!

(Overwatch is great though!)

Never pretended they were perfect... It's a matter of choosing the least worst. It was Overwatch or Fortnite... I had to find a compromise. :)

This said, there are no exclusivity deals, at Blizzard, that will directly hurt Linux. On top of that, the launcher and the games are running well in Lutris and you shouldn't get banned by using Linux (official Blizzard stance).

So... I can tolerate that.

Oh well! Thank you Epic. You just made my life easier... I always have a "fidelity" issue when Feral publish a game I'm not really interested in, because I feel the need to support them. I guess it won't be the case this time, at least not for a year.

After that, will porting the game still be profitable to Feral, if the game is not sold at the initial launch price?

Quoting: ArehandoroI wish they look into including some m.2 SSD out of the box and deprecate the sd card. Also wish had the money to do a cluster with several of them :D

Not an nvme but this is at least better than an SD card:

Saw that but will still require having an external SSD connected via USB to it (just nit-picking here haha)

Still anything better than an SD card is welcome. I have a nice USB3 32Gb stick that I could use... :)

Personnally I have a RPI2 B+ that runs Recalbox. I use it as a retro console in a Nespi case. I use the 8bitdo SN30Pro or my old Wii Remote to play my games, via bluetooth (I added a wifi and a bluetooth low profile dongles that both fit into the case). The RPI part of my setup is a little underpowered to my taste and I was already looking at the RPI4, but this 8gb thing is pretty interresting. Unfortunately it won't fit in my Nespi case. Since I'm not playing much with it, I'm still hesitating... First world problem they say? :)

Quoting: mylkai dont get it why nvidia has a client for STREAMING

why isnt it like stadia with a browser... should be way less maintaining

Something about controlling the client?

For Stadia, Chrome is Google's client and they control 100% of it. Nvidia couldn't say the same if they used any known browser, so they created an equivalent Nvidia, Windows only "browser", dedicated to streaming.

Just a guess, I might be wrong.

they control the content of the website.... what else do they need to control?

How the client is behaving? Preventing breakage or degradation from a Google Chrome update? Or just because they want to control it? It's probably the same philosophy as to why there is no open source Nvidia driver, imo.
