"includes a completely redesigned user interface, along with moving their scripting system from bash to JavaScript"

Quoting: Guest. If the support isn't all there, then it should not be getting that icon.

those games are supported by VALVE, that was their solution for those developers who wont gona bother porting.
they white listed Nier Automata then selves, at least this title (and the other ones white listed by then) should have an icon.

otherwise this effort is pointless, what is the point of being able to run an game if you dont know that you can run it?
how this will bring more users to linux?

they should add an icon to compatible games...
but i'm not sure if the steamOS icon is the right icon to use.

Quoting: lucifertdark

Quoting: Purple Library GuyProbably not in that particular way. I mean, they want to so bad they can taste it, they'd love to make themselves believe they could get away with it, but basically they know the reason they get to keep selling licenses is that for the end-user Windows seems to be "free" (as in no $$$). They know people wouldn't sit still for subscription-only.
In general, Microsoft have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly; their fundamental preinstall advantage is so great that their mistakes have so far cost them little.

I don't know, Adobe seem to be doing pretty well with their subscription service, they prove there are plenty of people out there dumb enough to pay & pay & pay & keep paying forever for something that used to be free.

adobe products were never free.
and they have features that the free alternatives lack, pay something may be bad but not having an job or taking hours to do some works is worse.

Quoting: garpuSo, granted, there is support with DXVK coming from Valve. But if we regular users want to show the devs some appreciation, what's the best way to do it? Do they have a patreon? FOSS projects can flounder and die, when there isn't enough support (financial that is...computers and electricity cost, not to mention programmers need to eat and pay rent.)

I know WINE can be a touchy subject, but if Windows 10 does go subscription only, having an alternative for gaming that's easy, works, and runs with people's favorite games will attract a lot of people to Linux.

i guess what we can do is, keep buying games and playing then on linux.

as for MS shooting then selves in the foot, not gona happen.

actually, that is bad news.
that means a lot of people will test a lot of games that dont run , without entering in the beta.
the ideal solution would be to either:

1)add an steamOS logo to the game
2)enable only games that were fully tested to run for those who arent on beta.

by adding it to the stable client, people have no way to tell if an game will run prior to install it and try it for then selves until the game crashes.
they may be informed that the compatibility layer isnt perfect and all, but they still dont have to tell if any Q/A was done to make sure the game run perfect, or it will have an issue in an random part of the game.

i just wish we could find an way to stop using MS code entirely, even if we arent using the windows kernel and windows, we are still runing direct X and its libraries
