Quoting: g000hWhat's with this trolling and name-calling?

You can play legitimately bought Windows games (i.e. with Steam client, Origin client, Uplay client) on Linux via Wine compatibility layer. No need to suggest that people who use Wine are "Pirates".

Also the derogatory term "Wiener" applied to people who dual-boot. Maybe they like the game so much that they are willing to put up with this. It is no different to all those hardcore gamers who buy a specific console because they want to play a particular game which is found nowhere else.

Agree.

Anyway. I think don't fit in any category because I don't do dual-boot; I have two computers, one with Ubuntu and another with a LEGIT Windows 7 pro.
And I have two Steam accounts.
The windows one [External Link] and the Linux one. [External Link]

If I can avoid the use Windows 7, I do it (Like I did when I purchased Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Dying Light, SOMA, Mad Max, Dead Island Definitive and other games for My Linux steam account and not for my windows one)...
But that is not possible to do if I want to play 2014/2015/2016 Big games from EA Origin and Uplay..

I don't blame big game publishers, I blame the big games Devs and their lack of Linux skills..
If the Devs from EA, Ubisoft, Activision or Bethesda, in their spare time and adhonorem, develop a Linux version of the Windows game they are making, the Publisher will not complain for that unpaid work.

OT: I am also considering to buy a PS4, because I know I am missing some good games. :)

I purchased Deus Ex Mankind Divided yesterday for my steam Linux account...

I already got Mad Max on a Humble Monthly Bundle and I activate it on my Steam Linux account...
I was about to purchase it as a gift, but in bundlestars is a lot more cheapest...

And... I will buy Rise of the Tomb Raider for my Windows steam account...

Sadly, that game will not be ported to Linux anytime soon... I can wait a few months, but not two more years.

Quoting: Luke_NukemSo far this has shown there are three types of people.

The Die-Hard. These gamers won't buy unless there is a proper port or official support.

The Pirate. These gamers don't want to pay for a Windows version, but do want to play the game. They see nothing wrong with pirating it.

The Weiner. They dual-boot and still buy many Windows only games.

What means weiner? Google traslator doesn't recognize it.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWine needs DX11 NOW..

It's not far off. Many DX11 titles (that don't have copy protection) seem to be working to some degree. Killing Floor, Watch Dogs and Grey Goo now run for example, although the graphics are somewhat corrupted. Other titles such as Dying Light continue to crash, but get much further into the game before ultimately failing with a D3D11-related error.

Give it a few more months. This is like the early days of Wine supporting D3D9 all over again - it's going to take time, but compatible games will gradually trickle down faster and faster over the coming year.

Well.. Dying Light is available natively on Linux on Steam... Sadly the DRMFREE edition is Windows only...
The same goes for Metro Redux.

Purchased Deus Ex Mankind Divided for my Linux Steam account, because I don't think it will be on sale tomorrow.

I tried the Demo of Doom on my windows machine and... meh...

Wine needs DX11 NOW..

New games like Residen Evil 7 can not be missed...
Of course, Denuvo must be cheated.

It's already on sale for about $20.

I know, but I want to know if the Season pass is good.

Mad Max is super cheap right now on Bundlestars.

Too bad Bundle Stars keys register as Windows sales, no matter what platform you play on. And besides, Steam's Winter Sale starts in a couple of days, I wouldn't be surprised if Mad Max was included and just as cheap. I can wait.

Agree.. Let's wait and compare.
