Quoting: KeyrockThis is but one of a multitude of reasons of why I don't play early access games.

Well, it is free.

Quoting: maodzedunI agree with him. What IS the point is SteamOS? It's terrible. I made a media box with kodi for my father and I initially tried SteamOS - big mistake. Ended up installing Ubuntu and I'll probably put a Windows for good measure, as well, because streaming to a Linux pc with AMD card is a pain. So yeah - what is the point. How many of you use it? An OS that gives you all of the quirks but non of the perks of Linux. No thank you.

Why would you put SteamOS on to be a media box? It's a STEAM gaming platform, your own fault for not using it for what it was designed for.

Works perfectly for me as a gaming system hooked to my TV for use across the room. You know, what it was designed for.

Updated, it actually requires two HDMI cables, see the bottom. The "reviewer" on Ars didn't do his research.

My main issue was they forced people into manually sending them proof of purchase to gain access to the new version, which was essentially just a big patch. That was my first alarm bell, and I noted it in other articles.

They also confirmed it in a tweet to me now too: https://twitter.com/moothegame/status/692496716810076160 [External Link]

Feral actually have a livestream of XCOM 2 tonight, so I don't want to conflict with that. I might be able to do one later, or tomorrow night.

Quoting: WorMzyI'm confused.. Doesn't "GOG" stand for "Good Old Games"? How does early access factor into that? :huh:

Not that it matters, more stores selling newer games on Linux is always a good thing.

They dropped that slogan a long time ago.

Quoting: TheBossWhy should we support someone who constantly belittles the platform we are trying to help grow? His comments are never helpful, never productive and all it does is fuel anti-Linux hate in his circles.

There's many better ways to go about it, like not saying it, or explaining it in a better way. He knows this, he chooses to be like how he is because Linux is small so he doesn't really care.

And random internet name calling is never helpful either. It again shows how hostile/toxic linux community is.
And Linux is Small thats the fact. This game is also in Early Access (be it there forever or not).

I'm not defending Garry, he is what he is, but linux community seems to be too emotional about it.

there are countless games that arent early access and not work on linux or work really bad. And when devs dont say anything at all its a lot worse imo, it shows that they dont even know that they released a game on linux.

my 2 cents.. im too lazy to argue

No one here is name calling, simple pointing things out. There's nothing hostile here so far from anyone.

People are too quick to play the "toxic linux community" card, it's not. Every community has toxicity, but there's a certain level of respect people should show, of which Garry has none for anyone using Linux as repeatedly shown by his comments.

We also point out other games that have bad support, this is nothing new. I like to warn people, money is important (at least it is to me), and I would rather put money towards a supportive developer.

Also, people should be allowed to complain about things they buy, it's part of life.

You attacked the characteristics of the author rather than his opinion or the basis of his opinion. While according to the disagreement pyramid, it is not namecalling, the explanatory note explains it may as well be. It doesn't constitute to the argument in one way or another and will only validate him (at least to himself).

You also incite a boycott against him for his opinion which isn't helping either. You're giving indie developers a vibe of 'support linux, or else...' which is not the way forward.

I'm not going to defend the guy for what he has said, but as a company employee I've also had my experiences with a very hostile GNU community. You adding to this, will not help in the slightest. I can understand you're passionate about the platform and the direction it has been going into. But occasionally; just calm down a little.

We use Linux because it's simply the best thing out there and that should be our angle on this. He may disagree; he's butt ugly and stupid, but there's no need to put anyone on display like that. If he has legitimate complaints about the platform, let him state them openly so that we can either debunk or help resolve the issue. Other than that, just leave it; the market will sort him out, just like it did for Id Software.

I disagree. He is a developer and a spokesperson for his own company. He said it himself in his own words that his support of our platform is "shitty".

I will continue to point out developers who shuvvel out games to the platform, take money, and act like this in public.

Also I am certainly not inciting a "support Linux or else" community, don't make me out to be shitty like that. I speak to developers all the time about bringing their games to Linux, and I gave them no hard feelings if they don't.

His games are already on Linux, and he makes repeating and very public remarks about how he shouldn't have, and how we're only 17 users, and we're second class citizens and so on. Forgive me, as a paying customer, I have a right to be a little annoyed with repeating stupid remarks and a developer who obviously doesn't appreciate our money at all.

Quoting: NyapWell then, I guess I'll be pirating the game once it comes out to show them how I feel about all these delays and stuff. Anyone with me?

Don't be a fucking arsehole.
