Is this one of those things that spoils the premise ? :(
The developers aren't Norwegian. Besides, it's doubtful that they include spoilers in the title.

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition officially announced with Linux support

It doesn't look like they have done enough work on it to have that kind of price.

With BG EE and BG2 EE they just bundled a lot of free mods and did some stuff on their own, which didn't exactly warrant the price. I regret buying the games.

Quoting: ziabiceNo Italian translation, no buy!

Note: the original Planescape had an amateur italian translation done by the same people that some years after did the official translation for Baldur's Gate:EE and Icewind's games, so my hopes are high ;)
Not going to argue that you want a translation. However, you do seem to have a good amount of knowledge of English writing and the vocabulary, so I don't see why you need a translation.

The question is. With the price point, is it worth it?

Quoting: MercyGroundUsing Unity, I think there is no risk for the Linux release. The editor is made to build releases for Linux, Mac, Windows...
There are plenty of unity games that don't have Linux support.

Star Citizen to use Vulkan instead of DirectX 12 and drop DirectX 11 eventually

This is awesome! We need more high profile developers supporting vulkan.

I have a SSD with W10 in my desk drawer (I don't use dual boot anymore). I kinda need to know W10 for work, although I almost always use Linux at home.

NVIDIA might have more open drivers in future on Linux

I will remain skeptical, but if it does happen then I can only say: cheers!

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoCan you get a Case with a disk dock on top?.. eventually?
My case is a very generic one, (The pic is not mine, but the case is the same)
Is very useful when I have to exchange backup drives between both machines... Or If I need to do an emergency Linux boot on the windows machine for my own Linux vs Windows game comparatives.
I appreciate the input, but part of the point is to make booting Windows a pain in the ass. :P

Anyway, I intend to use as little money I have to on my current PC. I'm using a Corsair Carbide 500R case from around 2012.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI assembled the Windows 7 machine recently, in September of 2016, after the end of the forced Windows 10 upgrade period.
I didn't want to install Windows 7 during the Free Windows 10 upgrade, because I was afraid that the crappy upgrade will be installed against my will.
I have a Windows 10 pro key I use that a friend gave to me.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMeanwhile I am writing this post with my Ubuntu machine, on my Windows 7 machine I am downloading the 10 hours trial of Mass Effect: Andromeda...
Spoiler, click me
The EA "Origin Access" feature is the best idea from that company.. Is amazing to be able to play a lot of full games and trials of EA exclusive games for just 5 U$D per month... Valve MUST take note about that.
I'm playing the ME 4 trial now as well. I really like the EA Access / Origin Access service. We need more stuff like that. EA should be praised for creating this service. It's not as good as the demos we got back in the dag, but it's better than nothing.

Quoting: liamdaweIt's the same as "Coming to PC!" When PC is NOT a platform. The OS is.
This really grinds my gears. When people refer to the PC, the hardware as the OS platform. When developers say "coming to PC" I see that as ignorant, dishonest and misleading (unless it actually is coming all OS on the PC, which never happens).
