Quoting: leillo1975I bought this title in a Bundle a year ago (sorry Feral), but I don't play with it in Windows yet. If I play this game the next week count like a linux buy?

Quoting: Mountain ManSo the features say "a new winter themed map". Does this mean that the weather in the expansion will not be dynamic?

Quoting: KimyrielleGlad to see their order books still being full. I just wish Bethesda would finally notice these guys and let them port something. Anything.

This is never going to happen. Zenimax, their current owner, is so much against Linux they actually managed to stop id software from doing Linux ports!

Quoting: ricki42I kind of wished Feral would just announce what they're working on rather than keeping us guessing.

Quoting: GuestIt was their fault - they admitted as much. The Steam release may have been an innocent assumption on their part, but there's no reason they had to delay building & testing the GNU/Linux version for a DRM-free release.

It wasn't an assumption since their previous management did actually define the Steam Machines as a console, they just forgot to clarify it with their new management after they changed hands.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyOnce again you were overrating like usual. None of this was their fault at all.

Quoting: chimpyWith the way you guys race, I'd love to see you play Rocket League when it comes to Linux.

Quoting: KelsMore PvE is a good thing. Lore would be good too, hope they put more of that in once the mechanics are solid.

Quoting: TheBossI am of course excited about the possibility of Vulkan, as OpenGL has shown many times it just isn't comparable with DirectX for the heavier games we are now getting.

How is it then that it has been possible for an eON wrapper game from VP to get equal and sometimes in a scene higher performance than windows running the same game natively using the very same api & code ?

Quoting: GuestI'm going to go against what a lot of people will intuitively think, and say that providing extensions to "ease into it" from day one is a very, very, very bad idea. Vulkan is a clean slate, let's keep it that way.
Trying to bridge the gaps might seem a good idea, but such ideas have a very bad habit of sticking around for a long, long time, and you get the worst of both worlds instead of the best.

Perhaps I'm being too negative, but I am truly concerned about Vulkan turning into another OpenGL3.0 debacle.
