There must be something to KDE, i need to give it another go, and I'm still surprised Cinnamon is so low!

Quoting: melkemindIsn't competition great? Hopefully, this means we will see some more indie UNREAL-based games to rival all of those Unity-based games.

I would be shocked if more indies didn't suddenly use it.

Quoting: maodzedunObviously it always boils down to personal preference, but I cannot imagine how gaming can be your hobby and you'd lock yourself out of 90% of the great titles that come out for the PC. Hopefully in the coming years more of you guys will get a taste of that AAA goodness that us dual booters get to experience.

PS I know I always seem to bash on Linux in my comments but it's actually tough love and this place sure needs a devil's advocate ;)

What has gaming being someone's hobby got to do with AAA games? By that thought pattern, why doesn't every "gamer" own all consoles? I mean you can't seriously tell someone how to do their hobby ;), it's a hobby, it's what people like to do, and not what they should do by other people's thoughts.

Most AAA games coming out are terrible.

Personally, I have a PS3 and PS4 and every time I pick up one of these AAA games I am shocked at just how many bugs they have, and most of them are re-hashes of a previous game. Yes, there are also a few really good AAA games, but really not as much as people think.

I considering web programming my hobby, but I don't go out and learn every possible web language around. It's about what you like to do, and a lot of us love the games we have already.

Oh we have plenty of negative nancy's here as well, you're not the only one.

Like I said - personal preference. As somebody who would play almost anything short of a Barbie game (then again, I've never tried one :)) I just can't understand it. Plus, if using Linux is about expanding your horizons, why shouldn't the reverse logic apply. I've little to gain from using Linux - the software I use for work and the games I play are all on Windows. Yet for 6 years now, I've persisted in having a Linux partition, tried different distros and desktop environments and try to pop in regularly and just do stuff in Linux because I feel it is right thing to do. I see nothing wrong for a primarily Linux user to pop in Windows from time to time (for gaming for example).

You seem to be missing one massive point, and that's many of us don't like Windows. I can't stand it, every time I am forced to use it to fix a family or friends computer every action seems to take forever, it's such a slow bloated mess and....i'm not going into everything here, but you get my drift.

I don't quite get why it's hard to understand that people don't want to give up their OS freedom to play some different games.

Quoting: N30N

Quoting: liamdaweHere’s a shot of the controller design

That's just a side view of the headset.

Thanks, updated. Bit confusing, as it's what is shown on their controller section.

I can imagine building my own "Steam machine" with Archlinux in my living room, so I have a real pc there. I could stream from my desktop then :)

For gaming only? No, I have a Wii (not the U) for that purpose.

Err, not sure how you commented Mr Guest, unless you're logged in there's no option to comment, no textarea shown, if you could be a dear and email me: [email protected] and let me know, that would be swell.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroI put the Steam Machine question in the very first survey, the idea is to then compare the results to this one.

And then have the same question again next month after GDC when more details are announced to see if things change on the results :)

Love it, can't wait to see the results of that!

Quoting: barottoNice little game.
Though the fact that it's not open sourced is beyond me...

well, I think it's a Unity game, so the source wouldn't be all that useful.

I don't see why you would comment that on this anyway?
