Quoting: ixnariOh good, ANOTHER digital distribution platform. Just what I wanted for xmas.A non-story? Sure, if you live in a tiny bubble. Even without Linux support right now, it's major industry news. One that may have a big effect on the company we rely on quite heavily as a gaming platform.
Speculation and wishful thinking is what all of this boils down to. "Other open platforms" is too vague. Until Epic mentions Linux specifically, this is a non-story.

I think people need to look outside the bubble for a moment. Look at what happened with Steam, we didn't think it was really coming and it eventually did. At that time, Valve also had nothing on Linux.
Why are people instantly counting Epic out, when the situation is the same? Like I said in the article, there's no other "open" platform left - it's got to be Linux.

Quoting: MohandevirIt's just a feeling, looking at that knight on a Pegasus that makes me feel like "winged destruction coming down on us from the sky"... Just Cause 4.Honestly, if it's Just Cause 4 I will literally die happy on the spot. It looks utterly insane and it's exactly the type of game we need as a platform.
Move over Steam Link, there's a Raspberry Pi app in town now

Quoting: Stupendous ManDoes that mean the Steam platform has or will be ported to ARM? Would be cool to run it my Linux-running ARM Chromebook!No, it will be pretty useless too since every game would need to then support ARM.
THQ Nordic has acquired the Carmageddon IP, perhaps we will finally get it on Linux

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Desperado was not from Icculus, the same person announced the update on that who spoke about the three previously noted titles from THQ. They have their own team for this sort of thing.Quoting: liamdaweTrue but didnt they use the one man porting team ryan c gordon for desperado true they have not said no we are not bringing x game to linux but they have not confirmed it too. I would love it if they do become a full blown linux publisher would love to see Red faction guerilla i already own it but would buy it again to support that port.Quoting: ExidanI wound't say they support linux. They just seam to don't care if the devs port it or not, looking their steam page its majority is windows only games.They literally did the Imperium Galactica II, Silver and Sphinx ports themselves.

Quoting: pb"Since Valve are seemingly discontinuing their own Steam Link device, along with Steam Link applications for mobile devices"Don't take antihistamines and write articles kids, you don't make sense. Fixed.
Hm, did I miss something? The app seems to be alive, with the last update just three days ago? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valvesoftware.steamlink [External Link]

Quoting: pete910My 980ti doesn't need replacing and won't until after those are released anyway, I'm not in any rush.I'm pretty happy to wait and see how Intel's new GPU turns out first.You're going to be waiting a while :P
Just go get a AMD card!

Quoting: hardpenguinThe article is super ambigous so we don't know do they mean clients running Linux (a dedicated streaming device, like NVIDIA Shield or Shadow Box) or Linux servers responsible for running the game.Well, considering Project Stream as it is right now runs directly in your browser, why would it mean the client? Since currently, the client is just your browser.
