Quoting: KeyrockAt the very least, they should throw a disclaimer up along the lines of "Not all games pictured are currently native to SteamOS and may require streaming from a Windows PC to play on the NEN Steam Machine".

At 0:38 it says "Not all games illustrated will be available".

Oh my it actually does, I didn't even see it the writing is pretty small.

Quoting: FutureSutureWhat's wrong in this image?

Trying to be way too picky?

Don't be ridiculous! People will see this and think the depicted games are on Linux. unless they pay close attention. How many of us can say that the general consumer does that, however?

Nonsense. It is fast frame passing by in an *ad*. Seriously, people, stop being such downers.

It's advertising, companies have been sued and forced to take down adverts over stuff like this. It annoys me personally, and I can imagine plenty of people thinking they will be able to play them. That's the point of an advert: to hook people in.

This is why I noted it in the article.

Valve haven't even enabled streaming for Linux yet!

Edit: I meant broadcasting.

Quoting: supashangWhat the mod doesn't seem to understand is that many people ignore indies and go straight for the over-hyped AAA for their gaming fix. Totally missing out on gems such as "Kerbal Space Program", "Don't Starve", "Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien", "Path of Exile", "Dust: An Elysian Tai"... need I go on? And this is not just a Linux problem, which is why I had to underscore my point to liamdawe since he seems hell bent on avoiding the truth that there is fun to be had in the indie scene too, whether he likes it or not over his XCOM hardon. He seems more happy arguing for AAA as the saviour of SteamOS/Boxes. Completely not what I am arguing against.

That mod actually owns this website, just a little background info for you if you didn't already know ;)

Having a number of indie gems doesn't suddenly make Steam Machines more likely to be sold. I don't think AAA games are a saviour either, but I know for a fact they push numbers, and anyone who argues against that really doesn't understand what they are talking about.

Quoting: liamdaweYou obviously don't get what I'm trying to say: I'm a prime example of the people who wouldn't go out and buy one usually because of the lack of AAA games, but I am already invested in Linux obviously.

Yeah, because Eldritch is on the same level, and the same genre, right..

You're amusing bro.

I see you still have a little growing up to do hey liamdawe? You are intentionally misrepresenting my original argument in favour of your own "AAA will save our Steam Boxes!" while thumbing down indie titles as a source of fun gaming, which was my original argument you didn't get!

I actually used to enjoy frequenting this site, if only to see what games are coming to Linux. But after witnessing first hand that you are nothing more than a butt hurt man child, who condescends sarcastically to fellow Linux gamer/devs expressing a perfectly reasonable opinion - I think it's time to move on. Congrats "bro!" I'm done here.

No, you are stating your argument, I am stating mine. This is what is known as a debate.

I am clearly winning said debate with you now stooping down to a personal attack, such things are not welcome here.

I gave you a clear warning PM a moment ago for taking this attitude against me into another completely unrelated article, now I will publicly tell you to cool down or risk the ban hammer.

Quoting: liamdaweSadly, it's too early for me so I won't be able to watch it. Hopefully they will have a VOD available at a later date so I can see how they handle it.

No worries Liam, we'll make a Best Bits video just for you. (And everyone else, possibly.)

Hooray, the downsides of children eh.
