Why is Nvidia maintaining two active driver releases for Linux? What's the benefit of using the 375 driver over 384?

I don't give a crap about multiplayer, I want performance improvements.

Visually, the game looks outstanding. Let's just hope they nail the gameplay.

"Valve is becoming famous for two things. One is the easiness of which they make money from their Steam Platform, and the other is their started and failed projects. The most famous of them is the Half-Life series..."

What? In what way can the Half-Life series be considered a failure? If Valve were to release Half-Life 3 today, it would be an instant best-seller, even if they released it without fanfare.

Quoting: Mountain ManSounds like the perfect game for trolls and griefers. No thanks.

It's a survival sandbox game after all, which gives me a lot more motivation to protect my shit and work for my own protection. I guess it depends on what you like - but calling it "Trolls and griefers" is a bit wrong when that's half the game :P

That fact that you can be robbed and killed while offline is a deal-breaker as far as I'm concerned. That sounds like the opposite of fun.

And while the graphics are nice, I think you overrate them quite a bit just judging by the screenshots.

So people are still falling for the "Linux as stretch goal" scam, huh?

Quoting: lucifertdarkHands up everyone on here who has received deaththreats or verbal abuse on the Internet, my hand is up by the way, do you know what I did the last time I had some? I laughed & told them to feck right off, it's the internet, what are they going to do reach through the screen & strangle me?

These soft as muck developers need to grow a backbone & get on with giving us the games on Linux cause Windows isn't going to be around for much longer & when it's gone we'll still be here playing the games they didn't develop & they'll be on the unemployment line.

What makes you think Windows won't be around much longer? Last I checked, Microsoft still had a stranglehold on the home desktop market, and there are no indications that they've loosened their grasp.

You assume the claim that they cancelled Linux plans because of trolls is correct. Nothing really substantiates it.

That's the premise of the article we're discussing.

Quoting: Mountain ManIf that's the reason they've abandoned Linux then that seems rather petty.

Not even close to the level of pettiness shown by that vocal chunk that spewed forth a wall of toxicity towards those who were trying to help us out.

That's just the background noise you have to put up with when doing business.

Absolutely not! We're a small enough market already, and when a seemingly large chunk of that small market is the most vocal about something then that ends up being what people/devs/publishers see AND ASSOCIATE OUR SMALL MARKET WITH.

Justifying and allowing this is not good. It's idiotic. It's harmful.

I'm not justifying the behavior or saying that it should be allowed. But when I look at the developer's response in this case, the phrase "Cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind. Surely there are better ways of dealing with a handful of trolls than by abandoning an entire segment of the market, even if it is a relatively small segment.
