Quoting: Mountain ManIt was delayed because the Windows version was broken and recalled for additional development. Feral had to wait until the recent re-release to begin their porting process.
Is not more easy for Feral to port the game directly from the PS4 version? :huh:
Because to make a Linux port from a bad Windows port from a console version is not very effective technique... I think :dizzy:

About Batman Arkham knight.. It was a gift from Nvidia for purchasing an Asus GTX 960 STRIX...
So... I can wait. :P

Quoting: GuestIs there something that prevents you from using the same account on both machines?
No, but I want to have a 100% Linux game library, and the library of my older account isn't.. :(

Quoting: Comandante oardoThe fact that you can not use your credit own card in more that one steam account is THE WORST DRM situation I ever seen..
But why do you want to use two accounts?
Henceforth, my plan is to use my older account http://steamcommunity.com/id/Digital_CHE [External Link] on the Windows 7 machine that I am building for to play all the Windows exclusive games I have (a lot of Steam games, origin games, uplay games, Gog games and physical retail games I have)... and to use the new Steam account only for Linux games on a homemade "steam machine" I am building... example: I purchased Shadows of Mordor and Im gonna active it on the new account.. This is my humble contribution to the linux gaming..

Yes, Im gonna have two gaming machines. I don't like the idea of dual booting on a gaming machine..

Quoting: MyeulCYou shouldn't have any problems with that. Multiple accounts are allowed by steam's EULA. I've done so in the past. They even recommend you to create a new account when you're VAC banned.
I opened a ticket to Steam Support about this.

Quoting: My question to steam supportMon, Oct 19 2015 9:15
Quiero registrarme otra cuenta de Steam exclusivamente para juegos de Linux.. Me estoy armando mi propia "steam machine" ¿Puedo usar, en esa cuenta de Steam nueva, la misma tarjeta de crédito y la misma cuenta de paypal que utilizo en mi actual cuenta de Steam?

En otras palabras, ¿puedo usar la misma tarjeta de crédito o cuenta de paypal en dos o mas cuentas de Steam?

Nuestro sistema no se ha diseñado para fomentar esta actividad. Deberás completar tus compras desde una única cuenta de Steam.

Puedes enviar los juegos a otras cuentas como regalos utilizando la opcion "comprar como regalo".

Comprendemos los posibles inconvenientes causados, pero lamentablemente no podemos ayudarte.
The traslation: I asked to Steam support if I can use the same credit card and the same paypal account in more than one account, and the answer was NO... they said I have to make my purchases from only one account and gift the games to my other steam linux account :(

I guess I'm gonna need to purchase, at least, a 5 U$D steam gift card in G2A for the new account.. Or get a new credit card, (but this last is not a realistic option)

The fact that you can not use your credit own card in more that one steam account is THE WORST DRM situation I ever seen..

Valve Rep Confirms Why Some Games Have Their SteamOS Icon Removed

Well.. As a former Windows XP SP3 user, I want linux apps that I can download, install and run with a single click... everything must run out of the box.. The Linux game devs have a very long path to go if they want a massive migration.

AMD Lose Another Big Name, This Time To Nvidia
16 Oct 2015 at 1:12 am UTC

As a former AMD user, the actual status of that company makes me sad..

Remember the good old day when AMD used to make CPU's with hidden cores? Those were the AMD days!

But nobody can live off past glories... I have to move on.

If they release a new AMD socket with 4 channels DDR4, they can fight against the Intel 2011v3, but nooo; today We have those dual channel APU's and those power inefficient Bulldozer's and Vishera's (I have an FX 6300).

There are only TWO good APU's that I would like to have in my hands and they are not available for the desktop users, because they are console exclusives..

You see. I purchased a LEGIT copy Windows 7 OEM pro 64bit SP1 (it cost me about 200 U$D here in Argentina) for a gaming PC dedicated to those games I have that will never be ported to Linux (like my EA origin games and Uplay games). Windows 7 pro OEM has a DRM that binds the licence to the mobo.. well.. I can not tie a LEGAL license of Windows 7 to an obsolete technology like the AM3+ or FM2.. I need to tie that license to a more or less "future-proof" mobo, like my actual Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5, powered by an i5 4690k (but I will purchase an i7 4790K in the next days)

By the way, the machine with the Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5, the i5 4690k and a Zotac GTX 960 2GB eats no more than 230VA from the wall using a generic "500" PSU... I have unexpected resets in the machine powered by the FX 6300 with the same memory modules, same PSU and same video card...
