Quoting: NeverthelessEpic analysed Steam well. Maybe that's why Valve removed Steamspy's foundation lately.

Valve adjusted stuff that messed with it back in April last year and nothing recently I am aware of, which was mostly a side-effect of Valve's new privacy features. SteamSpy relying on public profile info wasn't great to begin with.

Quoting: TcheyThey said it's only about 8 hours to reach the end game, less if you know what you are doing. That's not a lot for this kind of game. Not sure i'm hyped anymore.

There's about 8 hours of gameplay, less when you know the game very well.

You can win the game and finish the story. Story is told through intro (120s), outro (75s) and by captain during the gameplay. You start with no drillship, very soon you get small 1-segment drillship, which you extend.

Research tree has three levels, each level has few items. Researching each item unlocks few modules, items and upgrades.

Well yeah, it has only just released. It's Early Access, don't expect a 40-50 hour experience from something just starting out.

They know plenty of areas they need to expand, as shown on their roadmap. One thing I certainly want to see, is more to do outside of your ship, just more in general I guess. Still, enjoyable for sure.

Quoting: GuestSteam Controller is total trash. I bought that thing a couple of years ago and it only worked for about a moth. Hasn't worked properly since. I tried it out yesterday, after not using it for at least a year, and it works inside steam but not in any games. I tried updating, reverting and recovering firmware and none of it worked. I tried pretty much everything that was suggested by Steam Forums (users only, no comments from Valve).

I hope nobody here gets encourages by this article to buy that piece of crap.

I have two Steam Controllers, used across two different computers and a laptop. Practically never have an issue with it.

If it's not detected in games, sounds like you don't have udev rules setup for it. You can setup that easily by installing steam-devices on Ubuntu, which seriously should be a dependency on the Steam install. I've bugged Canonical about it multiple times.

That, or you may now be experiencing an issue as a result of it now having a driver in the Linux Kernel (noted here.

Quoting: GuestI sunk a few hours in this first time around and never really had any performance issues, but I left because of the amount of players being way too low.
Gonna give it another shot though because I really enjoyed this.

Well the good news is right now it has over a thousand online in it, with a new all time high of over two thousand hit less than 24 hours ago.

Quoting: liamdawethe wording was very harsh though.

Are you referring to this phrase: "but personally I think that's extremely rude and uncivilised"?
That's very harsh? We have really come to this?
I miss the "Nvidia, fuck you!" days...

Harsh because it's basically shaming another developer because they didn't return emails. It's ridiculous.

Quoting: Salvatos

Quoting: liamdaweWe are a news site.

We publish news and interesting happenings about major projects.

It's not difficult to understand why. Many people have wondered ever since DXVK was created, if it would become part of Wine and this is some kind of insight into the happenings from one side.

Edit: And yes, I did try to speak to him first and he stayed out of it.

I mean, it can be hard to separate the two aspects of this and I understand the informational value of saying that Wine are doing their own thing for Vulkan, but as far as the public is concerned I feel it would have been enough to say that they reached out to Philip and didn't hear back so they did their own thing. Everything else feels more like airing other people's personal grudges and I don't know that we need to hear about it. That's just my opinion and you're free to disagree, but I wanted to give feedback.

Also, I feel like mentioning that "X has declined to comment" or some such should typically be included in a news article, especially in an issue like this since it shows that you made sure not to stoke the flames of an issue Philip may have actually been unaware of.

No matter which way I frame it, I'm never going to please everyone.

They said it in a public mailing list, knowing people are watching and subscribed to it including plenty of non-developers wanting to keep tabs on it. It's not up to me to cut their words or to try to suggest they're saying something different.

I've added a small note on what Rebohle said in Discord.
