Quoting: KelsI've been seeing discussion about this, wondering just what the devs who leaked are getting out of this. Seeing as sales are traditionally depressed right before a sale people know the date of, this just hurts their full-price income. It's not exactly a benefit, and in fact I don't really see anything positive for the leakers.

How many persons with a healthy mind pay full price for a game?

I think the TRUE price of a game is the one that the game has on sale...
Take a look at Shadow of Mordor Bundle [External Link] AKA Shadow of Mordor GOTY... How many months the game has been "on sale" for just 5 U$D?

But, sadly, big publishers raise the base price before joining the steam sales.

Quoting: mrdeathjrThis test will be make it with wine staging daily (give a idea about work), more part of this stay in staging + oficial patches added

Killer Instinct works but only in menus after this if entry in benchmark or arcade mode crash

Prey works good in sound and video, is stable in test

Hellblade Senua Sacrifice works but only until when go to island after this crash (have some errors related in some models), in some scene consume much gpu and break nvidia-smi power limit

Normally have my card with 52.50w as minimum power limit (minimum for my GTX 1050) but in before cited scene up to 60w

Dead Rising 1 DX11 shows characters in main menu and intro but after this game crash

Pac Man Championship 2 DX11 runs good in video and sound

^_^

What kind of program do you use for the video capture and FPS counting?

Quoting: Areso

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoA Linux exclusive AAA game with super amazing graphics and gameplay is the only thing that can revert this trend...

You see.. Most PC gamers install an illegal windows distro just for to play (legally or illegally) the game of the moment..

If there is an Ultra AAA game and is Linux exclusive, they will come to Linux just for to play this game.

I admit, there are tiny chance, to develop a multiplatfor AAA title and make this title Linux exclusive for a limited time (alpha, beta test, 30..60 or even 365 days after release).
Like people were pushed to buy a console to play GTA V after release instead getting the game immediatly on Windows PC.

That was my point. I just forgot to put Timed before the word exclusive

Quoting: Mountain ManThey might come, but will they stay? That's the important question.

When they find that they can surf porn sites and download illegal seriez and moviez without getting viruses, I'm sure they will think about it... Is an slow process.

In my case, I was a 100% illegal Windows XP user, until the release of the Linux version on Metro 2033 Redux in 2015 that I decided to try SteamOS on a test machine... It was like magic to be able to play a Big game without having to install Windows 7... Then I removed the SSD with SteamOS and installed another SSD with Ubuntu 14.04 because I wanted a machine for safe average everyday computing, including gaming, for Me and my mother (yes, she like to play hidden objects Bigfish games and casino facebook games).

About a year ago I built another test machine with a legit Windows 7 (the OS cost me about 200U$D) just for to play those big Windows games (Steam, Origin and Uplay) that will never be ported to Linux.

That's me.. living in two worlds; Windows 7 [External Link] and Ubuntu [External Link]

If You look carefully, you will see some games in my Linux steam account that are not present in my Windows Steam account, because I take every opportunity when I can avoid the use of Windows.

I hoping for a native vulkan game... No more openGL, please.

In the meantime, there is activity in the SteamDB [External Link] of Mad Max that suggest that Feral is still working on it.

Console gaming must back to cartridges and problem solved...

You rent it, you play it... You buy it, you own it.

Quoting: tuubiAnd why shouldn't they be able to fund their project? Like Shmerl said, Emulation and software reverse engineering are completely legal in the free world. Might be a grey area in the corporate states of America, but what isn't?

That depends on the EULA of the thing You want to reverse engineering or emulate.
