Launches like this are pretty normal for MMOs, I remember when Guild Wars 1 was released in 2005, rubberbands, frequent disconnects and lag were the daily breakfast. Exciting times :-)

So far I like what I see, may pick it up soon.

I think the reason SteamOS may not be (or has become) as popular is because of the very flexible nature of Linux, and not because Valve is abandoning the project. Everyone wants to use personalize his/her system and use a different distro for a reason or another and SteamOS while capable, isn't targeted for that - At the end of the day what matters is that Linux gaming is still growing and becoming more widespread, regardless of what distro one uses.

As for OpenGL/Vulkan development, last I checked it's still rocking, people just need to get their heads off DirectX and think more crossplatform. I remember not too long ago Mesa was "that basic driver you get with Linux", now that very same project is a beast of its own and while I don't use Steam, Valve's contributions haven't gone unnoticed, news such as this [External Link] is very pleasing on the eyes.

This journalist clearly didn't do the homework.

A port by Ethan means a buy from me, in the case of this game it's going to be an instant one too. Thank you!

Been waiting on this, I love platformers, simple and fun.

At first impression I was gonna scream "FTL Clone/Copycat", I mean the graphics are very similar and all, but now that I'm watching the video it seems to be a little more than that. Will keep an eye on it.

This game is looking more inviting by the minute. How's the performance on Linux?

Another thing to consider is that plenty of people don't use Steam, taking myself for example, I buy games only from GOG on a regular basis. Taking this into consideration, the number of Linux gamers is higher than one might think.

Aah Triumph yes, the company it says it needs lots of money to provide a DRM-Free Linux version of AoW3 on GOG.

Being acquired by Paradox won't change the bad taste they left.

August is not so far we'll see what happens then, I hope they'll port it at some point as I like the Sci-Fi RTS genre. Would pay full price for the complete package when that happens.

All the characters feel slow

That's the first impression I got when I watched the trailer. Most RPG's are an insta buy for me, however this seems a bit more towards the younger audience so I'll be skipping it.

The graphics remind me of jRPG's which is something I like though.
