Quoting: Cyril

Quoting: lqe5433Please port cuphead

Please no. Cuphead is available outside Steam DRM-Free, if Feral do the port we would lose that.
Thanks but no thanks. (See what happened for games like XCOM...)

You don't suddenly lose the existing DRM-free build that doesn't support Linux, if Feral port it and put their port on Steam. That makes absolutely no sense.

Quoting: spayder26This is cool and stuff but, is really "hot news" having another C# game engine, and this time is even unreleased, out there when there are already shittons of them in the wild?

I'm not sure if this is directed at us writing about it or just about it existing in general. If it's about it being on GOL: We cover anything and everything around Linux + Gaming :)

Quoting: Grifter

Quoting: pmatulkaMaybe aspyr will finally make Borderland 2 playable again?
How many months have passed since basic function of the game does not work?

Yeah, this is bullshit. It's been almost a year now :(

I emailed them last week, no reply.

Quoting: DrMcCoy

Would have been nice if they tweaked the name though, as even on Linux the menu option says Windows which is a bit amusing

No, that's standard ScummVM policy. Because it's the Windows version of the original game.

Blade Runner was originally just released for Windows, but for other games ScummVM supports, this might display, for example, "DOS", "Amiga" or "Atari". There are a lot of games that even have the same data files for multiple ports (like DOS and Windows for some Sierra games, and DOS and Atari for some Coktel Vision games) and the original executable files behaves differently depending on the platform.

Thanks for the clarification.

Quoting: haikuThis port is useless, it arrived way to late and the game is running fine via Proton :|

Not to all the people who waited, for various reasons. You still technically get no actual support if you buy newer games to play with Proton. We've been over this before many times, so I won't be a broken record on it but just remember that ;)

Quoting: BeamboomThere's no reason to call for marketing when there's nothing to market. What should the message be? "You can now play a few of your windows games with just a little more hassle and just a little less performance than your windows pc. Except competitive online games, due to anti cheat.
Do the plunge today!"?

Thing is, those of us who want to choose Linux have already done so. That's why our share is so rock stable. Of course, new users are added each day but the core audience for Linux remains the same.

It's a huge, huuuge endeavor to create "the year of the Linux desktop". Ironically - and this pains to say - but someone like Microsoft is needed on board. And well, judging from the development from their side over the last few years, I don't rule out thaw exactly that's what will happen. Not today, not tomorrow, but further down the street.

And if so happens, that's gonna be one hell of a bitter pill to swollow for many of us, that's too damn sure. 😂

I think you've got stuck in a bit of a box there. When talking about marketing, I'm talking about Linux as a whole. The market share for Linux is much bigger outside of gaming and could be bigger still, if all the stuff that's already mentioned happened. As it is, Linux is already a very stable and fantastic OS to use for general purpose. That's the point.

Quoting: shawnsterpSo, thanks to this bug -- https://forum.lastepochgame.com/t/couldnt-connect-to-the-server-on-some-unsupported-linux-distros/15512/8 [External Link] -- this is sitting in a folder called "unplayable". They, of course, have not bothered to respond in any meaningful way, but its good to see that at least some people on linux can play it.

Haven't had any issue connecting on Manjaro. Still, it's Early Access and issues are to be expected. If you get anything before it's finished, you should be prepared for issues.

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: Sir_DiealotIsn't DXVK that project that just went into maintenance mode because it's not feasible to develop it further?

No, that was other sites making a mountain out of a little GitHub comment rant. Don't read into it.

@Liam: Might be worth doing an article about it, I was like @Sir_Dialot, thinking DXVK was slowly dying in place of another project.. Although I have been reading mainly Linux news every day.

Ask and thou shall receive, just wanted to wait a bit for the right time to have the statement. See here.
