Quoting: bolokanarA little too late.

What makes you say that? What about it makes it too late?

It's been years...

And? Doesn’t really answer the question. It’s here now. Why is it too late? Too late for what?

Quoting: Guest

"Linux has, historically, been quite messy when it comes to software distribution. We have various distribution-specific packaging formats like .deb (Debian / Ubuntu), .rpm (Fedora) and the list just goes on and on. Canonical also went their own way with Ubuntu for the likes of Snap, but the real winner is going to end up being Flatpak and the main Flathub store."

Software distribution under Linux is anything but chaotic. On the contrary, it is extremely orderly.Each distribution offers its own software library and package format. This, among other things, increases system security. This makes it much more difficult to implant malware under Linux.

I firmly disagree. That is chaos. Every distribution has a different set of packages and versions, with security problems having to go through each distro for each package. It's not good, and chaos for developers to support - they've complained about it since forever. Having Flatpak with Flathub is great, for reasons already explained.

Windows went 64bit, but there was work on the Steam Linux Runtime for 64bit. We'll see it one day...

Quoting: NumerfoltAnd of course, there's no alt text anywhere to be found. But it's probably never been aimed at vision impaired people anyway?

I added alt text to the image when the article was originally published, it is there.

Edit: or do you mean specifically in the article (I've additionally added that now)? As the image alt text was always there.

I know price rises suck, but look outside the box for a moment. The problem is really a question of viability.

Sure, they have a certain level of purchase mass due to the amount of users, but you split that across each individual game and then Humble as a business need their own cut to remain a viable business too. Add taxes into that and it gets reduced even further. Even the current £11.49 really is not a lot when split across 8 games.

Quoting: KimyrielleTo be fair, 32GB RAM have been sort of standard for gaming PCs for a while now. Also, these decisions were very likely made before the RAM prices went out of control, which started only a few months ago.

Not as long as you might think, and you don't design games for the top-end. You go by averages. Part of the point of PC gaming is having settings to bring things down to more acceptable levels is it not? Going by the Steam survey, over 50% have 16GB or less RAM. It's absolutely mad to make 1080p at 60FPS need a minimum of 32GB lol, locking away over half your potential sales for what people expect from a game.
