Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's probably a good game, and I appreciate the way the game makes it clear in the description that it is probably not for me.
You will learn that in this world being selfish and heartless is the only way to survive
isn't really my thing even in a game, so I'm glad they warn about it.
It do be like that...

Oh so maybe Enderal works now out of the Box?
FWIW, Enderal (when it works) runs very poorly on Windows on my 2700X and 980 Ti.

The E3 2019 Linux gaming round-up

Quoting: fleskStadia could be very good news for Feral, Aspyr, et al. now that everyone and their Linux gaming grandma are playing Windows games with Steam Play. I imagine that it could be good business for them to eg. offer a one-time cut (and an optional support agreement) to port AAA games to Stadia, and additionally make an agreement to publish Linux and Mac versions on other store fronts for a cut of the sales, as they usually do.
I could see Valve eyeballing the Stadia games list and talking to the developers about releasing Linux native versions. At the very least, this could make a world of difference in SteamPlay if the developers don't want to go "all-in" on Linux.

The war of the PC stores is getting ugly, as Metro Exodus becomes a timed Epic Store exclusive

Quoting: johndoe86xWhen Epic and Steam compete, then consumers will win. You can buy the game on the Epic store for $10 less than you would on Steam, and you can import into your Steam library and use Proton.
I usually don't feel like a winner when I'm pressured to do something..
In this case you probably won't have much luck using the game with Proton, as they will use Denuvo for it.

If they use Denuvo, then it wouldn't have mattered much if the game was on Steam or not. Having said that, this sounds more like an issue of supporting a non-consumer-friendly publisher than what store you buy this from.

Valve is great, and Steam is great. However, let's not forget that they're in the business to make money. They wouldn't pour so many resources into Linux if they didn't think it wouldn't pay off for them in the long run. Valve's love affair with Linux behooves us all, but it's business driven. So everyone should really keep their corporate allegiance in check. When Epic and Steam compete, then consumers will win. You can buy the game on the Epic store for $10 less than you would on Steam, and you can import into your Steam library and use Proton.

Will it count as a Linux sale? No, but the logic of buying it on a console, instead, (arguably the most locked down platform) because it's not on Steam baffles me. I'd buy a Windows PC game over a console game, any day.

Epic is going to scrap, so Valve is going to have to step up their game. Valve can't stay quiet and work via Valve time any more. They're going to have to apply pressure to themselves and be more communicative. We've all wanted that for a long time.

AMD have announced the AMD Radeon VII GPU and more at CES 2019

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: johndoe86xI was hoping AMD would knock it out of the park. They are competing on the 2080 level, but in order to bring these Nvidia-driven monopolistic prices back down so that the Nvidia xx60 lineup is actually budget/mainstream again this won't cut it.
Navi might offer something cheaper but still high end.
Here's to more hoping. The latest leak according to AdoredTV is that the Navi dev team wanted to "let it bake" a bit longer and had to scrap plans to announce it at CES. Radeon VII isn't even a gaming card. It's a "defective" MI50 card that couldn't be used in the datacenter, so they placed display out on it and steered it towards content creator/game hybrids just like with the Vega FE.
