Source 2 Will Be Completely Free To Use
7 Mar 2015 at 2:08 pm UTC

For what I can discover on the internet, certain sites says It will be free, for content developers (wich means taht only will be free if you develop stuff for Valve existing games), and others say the same that here, that will be completly free for developing games. Not a single word on this on the steam official pages, nor universe steam pages, nor other valve pages...

I hope this is really official, and Im happy for the ones that choses this engine.

Unreal Engine Is Now Free, Including Access To The Source Code

Quoting: Yamagatatony1ab, The editor works great on Linux. Thanks to an enormous amount of work over the last 6+ releases, the editor has compiled and run on Linux for quite awhile. Recently it's gotten pretty spectacular, you no longer need to patch anything for the ability to integrate with QtCreator for generation of C++ projects. I did a fresh clone of the latest release tag from the repo a few days ago and it all works great. They've even got a Linux-specific native build README.md file in the source, it's linked from the top-level README.md file under the section related to building natively on Linux.

Also, a great deal of credit for the Linux compatibility should go to the folks at #UE4Linux on Freenode; they have done a huge amount of voluntary work to get everything up and running.
Keep saying spice things like that, and I will have to ditch Windows completly and forever...so think before talking.... :P

Ars Technica On The State Of Linux Gaming

Quoting: sarmad* The latest update to Unreal Engine 4 did not support Linux, not yet at least.

.
Since 1 or 2 versions ago, you can make games for Linux.

Which doenst support, is the Unreal Editor working in Linux, so you have to develop the game in Windows. By the way, this is the exact reason because I use windows yet.

I also highly followed this launch too, but believe or not, Interestellar Marines have calmed my urge for tactical shooters games very well.

Valve Will Launch Own VR Device, To Be Shown At GDC

Quoting: fleskI've tried both the DK1 and DK2 since a former colleague of mine is absolutely obsessed with VR. While I thought the experience was pretty neat, I don't see myself getting into VR for gaming anytime soon, and I personally don't see it as a revolution in gaming any more than gesture or voice recognition was. I'm perfectly happy to keep playing my platformers and puzzle games on a 2D display.
You tried the Occulus DK1 and 2... or the valve prototype DK 1 and 2??!?!?
