Quoting: Guest...do you expect wine devs to roll out a red carpet instead?

I don't think Philip was trying to make contact :)

Indeed, it was wine devs who wanted to talk about converging their efforts (not just merging dxvk, if I understand correctly). No response, and....that's all the news there is.
I think that's really all Henri was trying to say that as a statement, nothing more, as an explanation of where things are with regards to wine and dxvk. That's how I read it anyway. There was no mention of any expectations.
Whole thing is being stirred up over essentially nothing. But, the Internet I guess.

I wish that's all it was, the wording was very harsh though.

Quoting: liamdaweThis is a very one-sided argument right now and we really have no idea what is actually going on, we have the words of one person.

Frankly, I have to question why you published this article given those very same arguments.

Did you try reaching out to Philip for comment? :whistle:

We 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.

Here's some extra perspective for you.

CodeWeavers emailed me a while ago out of the blue to thank me for my coverage of Proton. I emailed them to ask for an interview, they didn't reply. A week later one of them is on a podcast with BoilingSteam.

I didn't get salty about it, it's just the way it is. It's why I find the situation so bemusing. Emails don't get answered all the time.

Quoting: orochi_kyoRead the last sentence and stop being so PHillip Fanboys.

"It is my understanding that since then both Jeremy White and CodeWeavers' partners at Valve have tried reaching out to Philip on the subject, but evidently with little success."

Ive heard the most ridiculous things like, oh "sometimes I miss Whatsapp messages" when there is a BIG RED number telling you have unread messages on Whatsapp Logo on your phone. So if you telling me Phillip is missing Codeweavers and Valve mails and messages... OK.

The good thing is life goes on and they are working on something else, a little competition sometimes does good.

That's a pretty silly comment. This is a very one-sided argument right now and we really have no idea what is actually going on, we have the words of one person.

Quoting: pbThat reminds me of a huge business deal that I would have missed if I didn't peek in my spam folder for no reason. After that I set a reminder to check/clean my spam box every two weeks. ;-)

Was it the FBI offering billions of dollars? ;)

A confusing situation to be sure, since Valve are supposed to be working in co-operation with CodeWeavers, with DXVK contracted by Valve.

Quoting: PatolaSo the guy sent two emails without answer and concluded it was rudeness? I don't know about you guys but I miss personal emails all the time. Same with telegram and whatsapp instant messages.

I have emails that end up going unanswered for weeks and sometimes completely forgotten about until a year later because I am so busy, it's just how it is.

Quoting: tonRI'm embarrassed because I'm not financially capable to help you Liam. Worse, sometimes I always writing nonsense/shitposting here too.

I really sorry Liam and other GoL crew because can't support you guys and sometimes my stupid comments. Keep up the reliable, impartial and informative journalism for Linux gaming future.

Please, please do not feel in any way forced, being here commenting and being part of the community also really helps us.

Thank you for the kind words!

Quoting: CookiedemkpI just realized that donating to GOL was one of the items on my long list of things to do that got pushed out of the way for too long. Hope the extra bit can help!

Thank you, awesome!

Quoting: PatolaThe survey is nice but I think the questions about having used Wine or Steam Play in the last month are misguided. It should focus more on frequency, like if you use daily or once a week etc.

That just wouldn't work for our purpose, unless you want us to remind everyone to the point of spam to update it a lot more often. How it works right now allows for a little more wiggle room.

Quoting: buenaventuraIs it something that kids might enjoy or is it actually for grownups?

I think it's something kids and their parents playing along can enjoy. The kids get the cute graphics and music while the adults can read between the lines in some of the conversations :D

Yeah, it seems okay. Not for really young kids though, they wouldn't understand the humour methinks.
