Speculation: porting studio Feral Interactive could be in some trouble (updated: they're fine)

Quoting: JJNovaI'm actually disappointed that they aren't in trouble. If they were in a situation, maybe they would sell their games somewhere other than Steam.
What a ridiculous thing to say!

Quoting: jensI really think Phoronix should stay at summarizing commit messages. The Feral article has a bitter taste on in considering they gave Feral apparently very little time to respond in private first.

Anyway, on the bright side we do know now that Feral is shiny and kicking. Reading the responses to the articles they even got a few extra sales out of it ;)
Thing is, emailing them in the morning to him is gone home time in the UK depending on were he is in the US :D

Good news I agree however, I'll not hold my breath tbh. We've been suckered too many times now unfortunately.

The good thing is that DS has been good to our platform so the statement carries merit

Apologies that I've come across as a little pessimistic.

Quoting: pete910:huh:

So basically because of your shall we say heavy hand and not looking at what you are doing that's a failing of AMD's/PGA

I've used PGA since the original P100(Socket 7 sPGA) days and I have never ever done that!
oh the good old days ! did you also had a K6-2?? that sure was a superior cpu, AMD superiority has always been there! ^_^ I ran vista on that.
AMD has always been very linux friendly basically the first full OS that ran in full 64bits mode, when their first 64bits cpus came out was Linux. IT's simply not true that Intel linux support is better. otoh what is actually true is that ATI's support before it was AMD was crap.
I've had both a K6 233 and a k6-2 500 :D

Surprising large amount of people think its AMD's fault in the ATI era.

Quoting: pete910Keeps getting refused, Whats the link to do a ticket to valve ?
Account details -> Purchase history -> rocket league -> I have a question about this purchase -> write to valve
<3
Did that, asking for a refund on the game and all Rocket League DLC I had.

Unfortunately, they took 3 days to get back to me, and refunded the game only, not the 7 or 8 purchases of DLC I had for Rocket League (which was way more $ than the initial game purchase price).

Also, I had mentioned in my initial support ticket that refunding to my steam wallet was preferred, so I could pay it forward to developers who supported Linux and stood by their commitments.

The responder noted in their reply that they could not refund to my initial form of payment, due to the purchase age, and could only refund to my wallet...No shit, really? Isn't that what I asked for, Valve?

I don't think he/she even really read my ticket to begin with.
Am still waiting on a response, Did the ticket Thursday so fingers crossed!

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoNo matter how many vulnerabilities they discover on Intel processors, I will keep using them because the LGA system is more robust..


... than the PGA ....


If, someday, AMD decide to implement the LGA system in the mid class processors, I will try them....
Sadly, actually AMD use the LGA system only in the Threadripper processor.
Can you expand on that somewhat?

I actually prefer PGA, I know bent pins can be a pain at times but if you're rough with them it's to be expected.

Better a few bent pins than this



Ok,That's to the extreme but you get my point.
