Quoting: BeamboomHow does removing legacy OpenGL support improve things for us, in practical terms? Isn't the legacy support a different library anyways, so performance on newer versions of OGL would be unaffected?

Or are they intervened in some fashion that to me sounds like a really bad design choice?

(I'm no Unity developer - just very very tempted to jump onboard that train)

Most games use the legacy OpenGL version Unity has, not many are actually using the newer OpenGL version.

It goes without saying that newer OpenGL allows for improved performance with the use of the newer bits available in it. That depends on what Unity does with it though and what developers do with their actual games too.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleThanks all. "Earn living from free games" is the worst business plan though. But whatever - never said I was smart. :P

If you somehow manage to get by with other means like a part time job or something, it can be a damn good way to get a following though, hopefully.

Quoting: IsoaSamHi Liam,

I am new to Patreon and I can't see how I can pledge any amount other than $5 / month. What am I missing ?

When you actually go to make a pledge, you should have a box to enter any amount you like :), thank you for considering supporting me :)

Quoting: ajgpIm confuzled; is the issue here that if you minimise steam you still get the window listed in the panel; but to get it to close that and show in the tray you need to press the close option?

I hadnt even classed this as a bug to be honest; in fact Skype for Linux Alpha has the same functionality, minimise does just that and leaves a "window" listed on thepanel, but with the relevant option selected pressing close will leae just the tray inicator.

No, minimize does minimize it, but the close button also minimizes it, when it should close it to the tray/indicator.

Quoting: redshiftIt's surely not gnu/linux related since I don't see any point in hyping this specifically.

It might be, we have no idea. GOG support Linux titles and they are teasing something, so it's interesting.

Quoting: MintedGamerI think it would be nice to keep the best porter award, a certain company has done an absolutely stellar job for Linux users this year and I think it would be good to recognise and award them

Totally agreed.

I kinda agree here too, I think I might have to add it back in as a nice extra. Just because we know who might win due to general attitudes towards them, doesn't mean we should take it away.

Ask before updating anything

It was on Steam until when, last year ? It was really better, but i suppose "the mass" was sometimes lost with up to date games...

Steam only has it per-game, not an overall option, which itch has.

Quoting: MikeI am very tempted to try this game, but the lack of cross-platform multiplayer is kind of annoying. This is why I can't play Company of Heroes 2 with my friends that don't want to get Linux and basically can't play as there is hardly anyone online... and will be the same with this one. How is the multi doing? Is it actually possible to play without waiting half an hour to get a game?

+ 1! That's exactly the case. So far I just heard excuses from feral. I do love that company but I won't buy any non-crossplatform-multiplayer games from them - sorry, but no. Most of my friends do use windows. What's the point on buying linux-mac multiplayer games then?

They aren't excuses, they are very real technical reasons and it has been explained a number of times. It won't happen unless the original developer updates the Linux version to use a cross-platform lib for it, which is hard to do.
