Quoting: EagleDelta

Quoting: JarmerThis is typical from them. DONT. EVER. SUPPORT. NIGHTDIVE. Horrible developer that somehow continues to exist despite lots of other good devs going under :(

What else have they done wrong?

The Remasters they've worked on have all been well received.

I get the meltdown over false promises (or to be honest, it's probably moreso just because Linux is involved, you probably wouldn't see the same backlash even if the aspect of false promises persists)

But to say Night Dive are bad or they "don't deserve support" who would you support then? They're the only Dev team in this infiltrated industry that make sensible and genuine ports/remasters, not for making quick buck over people's nostalgia, not recycling games that don't need the remaster investment, but purely out of passion. They just released a remastered for a very obscure weird game called PO'ed, go take a look at that game and tell me with a straight face an executive greenlit that project thinking It would bring in money.

I think we must understand that unless we become a not insignificant chunck of the market, expect the 2nd class treatment to continue, any other interpretation is just living a fantasy dream, a higher market share is the only thing that'd make Linux support a serious thing for companies to consider.

Quoting: rambo919Given that the ONLY linux native version of any game to never give me problems that I can remember has been Stellaris..... this might be for the best.

This. I mean, the only bad part about this is that it was a goal, or a promise or whatever, that they're now throwing away or "giving up" on. Which is still pretty bad, don't get me wrong, not downplaying that part, especially for MacOS users, I don't think they have a Proton equivalent to play the game there? MacOS backers should get refunded.

But on Linux, I booted the game up yesterday, and it just works.... like, who the hell cares beyond this point? I asked the other day on this website what could the actual, real world disadvantages of playing through Proton vs Native, bearing in mind that Proton is slowly becoming the defacto Linux-supported method from game developers side, and other than large prefix folders potentially eating up space over time, it's pretty much nothing to bring up.

Quoting: fenglengshunGranted, Plasma 6.0 is still pretty rough from what I hear

I don't know what you heard, but as someone who was used to more "official" desktop experience of Windows 10 and co until 2 months ago, Plasma 6 is near perfect. I don't have any issues that I can recall right now.

I appreciate the insight into Bazzite. Do you reckon it could be used on a gaming laptop that is also used for general desktop work? or is it exclusively about gaming, where I'd be better off using something like Nobara? (I'm thinking of Bazzite because I'm interested in the whole atomic variant concept of Fedora)

Quoting: spacemonkeyWould you say that Ubuntu is the best OS if you just want things to work and not tinker, especially for gaming?

I hear Bazzite/Nobara are currently some of the best Just Works(tm), no tinkering distro's out there.

Since Sony isn't bothered to sell it for us here, I'm excited to play the game free of charge!

the steam linux SDK is like 8 years old

Is that true? How is Valve and other developers releasing Linux Native games recently then?

Quoting: PenglingI'm currently preparing for an emulation-heavy approach to gaming in the future until things right themselves again

That's basically been me these past couple years, a mix of emulation and generally older titles I missed out on. It's a good life; you'll probably never run out of good games, and your backlog will remain enormous for years to come. There's nothing especially important in getting the latest and the "greatest" of games if you think about it, once you wrap your head around that concept and ditch that FOMO feeling, you realise time doesn't amount all that much to art, and graphics aren't even close to being everything in a game.

Am I the only one who's not necessarily too excited for a new Deck at the moment? Keep in mind I could be salty because I just got mine August last year, but it feels like the OLED model fixed pretty much every nit pick there was with the original we had for now.

Furthermore, people asking for Deck 2 to run current games... do you guys want to throw $1K or more on your handhelds? I know I wouldn't, I find the current Deck perfectly fine for what I realistically expected would run on it, besides, setting up Sunnine/Moonlight was easy enough I'd never bother with a more powerful handheld if I can locally stream all my demanding games (which aren't many) from my capable PC.

I'd probably be more into the idea if there'd be specific exciting features and innovations coming with a Deck 2, not just adding more RAM etc.

Quoting: Linux_RocksYou're playing a "live service" game. You've got no room to bitch cause of that fact alone.

Even if your language is harsh, I 100% agree with this, wherever the game comes from, if you play a live service game and they decide to fuck you in the ass on a whim, you shouldn't really be surprised, I'd even go and say you deserve it, it's almost written in the rules at this point with how often this happens.

I do like that the consooomers finally came together for something to stand up for, even if we both think it's comically exaggerated.

Quoting: TeomyrI really don't understand why these people doesn't run their own Gitlab server (or similar) ?

Because 8535 people didn't fork Yuzu's repo to start developing 8535 different forks individually, I'd just round this exaggerated number of forks to just non technical people just forking the repo out of panic thinking this can be a way to preserve it somehow.

A fork that is actually being developed, Sudachi [External Link] is still up, so this does just seem like they were going after duplicates here. I heard Sudachi removed some of the problematic code from Yuzu and that could be why it's still up, not sure what the problematic code is or if this is even true though.
