Want to play Morrowind natively on Linux using OpenMW? Well it's on sale on GOG

Quoting: GuestIt's immoral to send money to developers for a game that was already paid for many times over.

So you're suggesting we should stop paying for games as soon as the devs have covered their costs? Seems legit! :D

I totally agree with Samsai and Liam here. It won't hurt anybody if we pay money for IP as long as there's a benefit for us (e.g.: Playing Morrowind on Linux). Bethesda won't consider porting games to Linux anyhow. But we also should consider donating to the OpenMW project because they're the real heroes who made this possible.

Disclaimer: I already own a physical copy of the game so I don't consider buying it again via GoG.

AMD Polaris graphics cards are starting to sound pretty amazing
20 May 2016 at 12:03 pm UTC

Quoting: OdenIf Polaris 11 is only to use max 4GB memory and supposed to be power efficient then why would it use GDDR5 instead of HBM?
HBM use less power and is a substantially smaller form factor than GDDR5.
It doesn't make sense unless GDDR5 is much cheaper or if HBM got availability problems.
http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/hbm [External Link]
"Compared to GDDR5, HBM can fit the same amount of memory in 94% less space"
"HBM resets the clock on memory power efficiency, offering >3X the bandwidth per watt of GDDR5"

These GPUs are for mid range cards, HBM2 will be featured with the upcoming Vega GPU.

Tomb Raider for Linux & SteamOS confirmed for release today!
27 Apr 2016 at 2:11 pm UTC

@Eike @GBee
I'd try debian/unstable or even unstable+experimental. It works like a charm with free drivers, proprietary drivers can be painful sometimes (AMD ones in particular, not sure about NVidia, tbh).

Torchlight now available DRM free for Linux on the Humble Store
25 Apr 2016 at 8:51 am UTC

Is there a way to get the Linux binaries separately? I've bought Torchlight several years ago in a retail store and don't like the idea of buying it again from Humble (would do so if there's no other way, but... paying twice for a game feels weird).
