Google, Bungie, id Software all under fire in a new Stadia lawsuit

Quoting: t3gI can’t wait for Stadia to die out since it’s one big circle jerk here. I get it... Stadia runs Linux but it’s closed off.
I don't think you understand just how much Stadia is funding Linux graphics and Vulkan tools. You may not use or like Stadia, but you are benefitting from its existence on your desktop.

It would do us all good if Valve is not the only one interested in Linux.

Is it just me, or are these numbers surprisingly low? You would think there are many more PC gamers. Anyone knows how these numbers compare to playstation for example?

Half-Life re-imagining Black Mesa has a Definitive Edition available in Beta now

I've been playing through this for the past few weeks. It's like the farther along the game you get, the more they have diverged from half-life. Now I'm in Xen, since forever ago, and it's just area after area. To be honest it's getting a little exhausting.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyClose graphical viewer software because you can't wrangle the thing with another tool while you have the file open
I get your point about cli and it's valid, but FYI, this is not windows, you *can* modify files while they are open :) last I did this kind of work I could leave evince open with the file and it automatically refreshed it when I changed the file.

Quoting: ShabbyXI don't really want to have multiple store fronts / game launchers
The whole point here is that you do not need to have those
Added as a non-steam game works, but then you don't get updates. Selling steam keys per pay-what-you-want may work, probably with a special clause that steam keys require a minimum because steam charges you or something.

Quoting: CatKillerbeing able to buy the game without having to create an account
That's great, but stopping others who do want to create an account from buying the game is counter productive. I'm ok with steam, I support them because they are doing good for Linux, and I don't really want to have multiple store fronts / game launchers. They think putting this only on itch has the benefit of no account and pay what you want, but the truth is it's stopping me who want to have an account and want to pay full price from buying the game. It shouldn't be only itch, it should be including itch IMO.

Also, windows calc on Linux? Why would you want that piece of garbage when the basic calc on Linux is so much better!
