I'm really looking forward to this as I'm running out of classic infinity engine style isometric RPG to play. And I really like the pathfinder setting.

Quoting: GuestI bought it during the summer sales, and sadly it didn't work with Mesa 17 so I've hesitated to ask for a refund, and well now seen the increase of the price (70€ it's completly insane !!), I keep it in my library and hope one day the dev will fix the Linux version.

The Linux version has been broken from the start and will probably be until the end of time.

Quoting: 14I wish I could get rid of ARK or resell my Steam license to it.

In early 2016 I deleted it from my steam account.

Quoting: LeopardThat looks pointless to me actually. I don't care about how Steam and it's Windows user base grows.

Valve should encourage Linux usage on Asia , that is the only way i can be happy about this kind of news.

The bigger the PC gaming market grows, the better it gets.

Quoting: lucifertdarkThey already develop games for the consoles, in fact most developers start on the consoles then port to PC not the other way round as it's easier to develop for the consoles as they're closed systems with strict limits on what components they have in them.

There are a few developers who develop two versions, one for PC, and one for consoles. Ssome develop for the PC then port to consoles.

I think I heard that CDPR is developing Cyberpunk for PC then porting it to consoles, but I don't recall where I saw it.

Quoting: Guestthose developers would just move over to consoles.

I don't think that will be the case. The PC gaming market is huge.

Quoting: elbuglioneIf you are comfortable with your purchase, you should not make any complaints about it ...
But, I'm pretty sure that more than one consumer (especially GamingOnLinux users) bought The Witcher 3, because The Witcher 3 was advertised for SteamOS.

I do not see any complaints from Linux users, against RockStar for not having delivered GTA V for Linux ... that's so, because RockStar never promised anything.

THOSE ARE THE FACTS.

Yeah, I bought TW3 partially on those grounds, and I was really sad, and somewhat angry that it never came to Linux even after being advertised to come to Linux in the Steam popup news / Steam store front page.

When did Rockstar promise GTA V for Linux? I don't remember seeing anything like that.

Cheers! Are we going to sacrifice Windoozers to the Linux gods? xD

I enjoy a good poke about distributions here and there, but it’s actually very true. Of all the distributions there are, Arch does end up being the most problematic. That's not saying Arch is bad, but being on the edge (it gets newer software faster than most other distributions) obviously increases the amount of issues that are likely to come up, since it's had less time in the oven to work out issues.

Arch is only problematic if the user don't know what he is doing. I can imagine that people report "bugs" that is actually the user not having set up his system properly.

I'm of the opinion if a Linux system is set up right, it shouldn't matter when you run games. Steam uses it's own libraries anyway which takes care of most of the problems.

There's also this post from another user, who said at the time The Witcher 2 released for Linux, CDProjekt apparently lost a fair amount on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Apparently due to such a big backlash from the community about the initial release quality. I haven't verified that myself, but if true it would certainly make CDProjekt rather against doing another Linux port with anyone.

I find that hard to believe. I mean, I thought the Linux gaming community was insignificantly small, and those who act like that is an even smaller percentage of that group?

Don't companies do business based on market numbers and such? I thought that was the whole point of capitalism / corporatism.

That said, I just find it a bit impractical for people to act like this. The best way to report a bug to just keep it on point, structured and as minimal as possible.

Then again, I kinda do understand why people get angry. I think it's important to see this from the side of the consumers as well. In fact, that is what you should do first. Remember that they bought a product that wasn't up to the quality expected of a game.

I'm not condoning anything, I'm just saying that this wouldn't have happened if the port was relatively solid before it released.

Is it just me or does this seem a lot like supreme commander: forged alliance?
