SotTR seems to be the only noticeable (as in AAA) game on that list. Oh well, I guess we're off the radar for big budget games again. :S

*hugs Proton and plays them anyway*

Quoting: heidi.wengerWhy would i ever use Discord over say Riot ? Discord is starting to treat its Linux users like the good old Microsoft and their Skype huh :dizzy:

Same reason why (almost) every business in the world is using MS Office: Because everyone else does! Good luck finding a guild/clan these days NOT forcing you to use Discord...

Funny how quick Indie developers are with abandoning us, as soon as they get bigger and more famous. :S

Does anyone know if they plan to add support for the Steam Controller in the next version?

Quoting: BeamboomUnfortunately it's guys like this who pretty much destroy the entire crowdfunding model. I haven't funded a project in who knows how long now. And it's not because there hasn't been any who looked good on paper.

Same. Well, technically -this- particular story wouldn't deter me all by itself. It looked like a perfect storm of bad things coming together to create this failure. It doesn't look malicious to me at all. These guys were apparently NOT like some devs on Kickstarter who promise supporting every single platform in the world to draw in more crowdfunding money, just to literally write some variant of "Nah, we don't care about you and never did, because you're not Windows" after taking their cash. It's THESE people that made me stop funding games.

Just out of genuine curiosity, is there ever a good reason NOT to use the development branch? I have heard of rare cases, where newer versions of WINE break games that older versions can run, but a) these things seem to get fixed rather quick with a follow-up patch, and b) usually involve consecutive versions of the development branch, not stable vs development.

Usually, with WINE, newer = better. At least in my experience.

Nice article! I bought that game when it launched, but never really played it much. Maybe it's time to dust whatever rust-bucket of a ship I had in ED and take her on a ride! :D

No kidding. If this kind of people just wouldn't be so incredibly rare...

Would probably be interested if it wasn't a first person game.

Quoting: subI'd like to see Valve giving devs a discount as an incentive, IF they (properly) support all 3 targets Windows, Mac, Linux.

I guess that would really be a great thing, as it would (at least partially) offset true or perceived financial risks of supporting Linux for developers. And in contrast to what Epic does, it wouldn't be unethical. I suppose the thought occurred to Valve, but my guess would be that while they want to push Linux, they're not ready to sink double-figure millions of bucks into it, either.
