Civ VI Steam forum mods banning users for expressing Linux support

So in other words, to hide their inadequacy as developers Feraxis would rather exert huge effort to smoke out any discussion of the thing they lack the skills to deliver. As an onlooker, I can only conclude that it must be some serious inadequacy.

BallisticNG, a racer inspired by Wipeout has unstable builds for Linux on Steam

Quoting: AimelaThere's no way this isn't F-Zero inspired. Even the music is similar.
The music is closer to F-Zero-GX but totally misses the inversion/pipes/free-flight sections from what I can see.

Some thoughts on 'Planet Explorers' now it's out of Early Access

It's been a long time since I played it but isn't there an adventure mode where you have more freedom to do whatever right from the start without all the maid errands from RPGs?

I would be more excited to hear them announce support for Coreboot and the end of PSP integration but you can't win them all.

Helium Rain, a realistic UE4 space simulation game is coming to Linux in 2017, looks brilliant

Star Citizen, Everspace, Elite: Dangerious. GOL has written about a number of space sims which constantly beat around the bush about whether or not they will release for Linux. If even one of them (including this game) could meet that promise, I will be a happy customer.

Will they make up their damn minds already?

Mattel toys must be kicking themselves at the lost opportunity.

AMD working on an updated driver that will support FreeSync on Linux and wider GPU support

Quoting: boltronicsI've been waiting ages for FreeSync support. All my hardware supports it, so I'm just waiting on the software stack to catch up.

I'll be very upset if FreeSync is only supported by the proprietary stack (which most AMD users on GNU/Linux rightfully no longer use anyway, based on the hardware survey here). It would be a stupid move by AMD, but I'm quite sure the intent is for it to arrive on the free software stack once the DC arrives and this won't be a problem.
I am personally waiting for it to enter Mesa. Even if it takes longer, what's another year at this point? The rest of that package is fantastic.

Not agreeing (with me or anyone else who comments) is not an excuse for insults. Please be respectful in the comments.


PS: I see a world in not too distant future were you need 3 consoles, 2 PC ‘stores’ and 2 mobile devices to get the games you *want* to play.
This only holds true for the mentality that one must have access to every game at all times. Which, even today, that mentality will drive up your cost of gaming significantly. Those of you who "sacrificed" games by giving them up in a switch from consoles to PC know what I'm talking about. Is it really that much bigger of a step to just enjoy the games that are available on your platform?
