Quoting: PublicNuisanceUnless the issues with the demo have been fixed (they haven't been fixed yet in the demo) then the only Linux gamers who will be enjoying this game will be those using closed source Nvidia drivers or possibly closed source AMD drivers (haven't tested those myself). Those with Mesa or Nouveau drivers will not be able to play it due to a glitch in Unity that hasn't been fixed for years.

Some Unity graphical problems were solved in Mesa 21, try it with that.

Quoting: Liam DaweThey exist because it's a business and it does well.
So well that they had to sell themselves to IGN? :tongue:
IGN wouldn't have bought them if it was a failure.
Well it was after IGN bought them that the became a Steam Sale site, right? Not that I mind cheap games.
Uh, no. They're also not a Steam sale site. They sell keys for GOG, Steam, Epic, Uplay and even the Nintendo Switch on top of all the regular bundles for games, ebooks and all sorts.

Quoting: PangaeaExact same problem I have with them. At this point I don't really understand why they exist, if their only purpose is to sell steam keys.
They exist because it's a business and it does well. Faced with buying from Steam or buying a bundle from Humble and getting lots of games together? They sell tons.

Quoting: GuestFunny, my save game will be obsolete again before i can scrape the surface of the game. I like this game but i am too casual for it. It is for people who clock hundreds of hours in a game. And fast enough as not to be caught in an update.
They always put previous versions up for people to continue playing.

The average marketing person would probably show a confused look and say "What other browsers?".
I see it as the same as all the Linux distros. We don't expect them to support every single small one, so why for browsers? There's plenty of smaller ones - should they have to support them all and the various ways they support standards differently?

That was meant as in: original GeForce NOW needed you to force ChromeOS as a browser agent string and Amazon Luna blocks Linux last I was shown. Those types of artificial barriers. Of course for a browser-based experience, there's always going to be a list of what they say they support.

Valheim is just an incredible experience you need to play

Quoting: DMGAdvertisement?
Not sure what you're asking. Is this an advert? No. I enjoy it, I wrote about it. These are my thoughts on it.

Windows 'not an emulator' compatibility tool Wine 6.4 out now

Quoting: CatKillerMy understanding of the Wine development process is that they produce a major version at the beginning of the year, which may get a handful of maintenance updates
Pretty much correct.

Quoting: CatKillerEvery two weeks Wine gets a point release that's moving towards the major release at the start of the next year.
The point releases are development releases, says so right on the box ;)

Most of what you're saying isn't different to what I am saying, other than splitting hairs over the exact way to word it. The fact is that 6.x releases are development builds where all the new features go in. Then once a year they do a stable release which will be 7.0 and before that there's several Release Candidates to clean up issues from all the development builds.
