I really do get all of your points! Still I think cross-platform-access is a unique point of sale. Therefor either the publishers or Valve should make sure there will be ways to solve the issue. It should only be a problem for the next few years to come since most of the people will be buying only games on Linux after they made the switch. Still I do hope cross-platform-access will be available for those.

Quoting: artvandelay440Am I the only one noticing this trend?

I'm afraid you are not! I almost never buy any early access titles. For some good reason: I would like to play a ready made game and not a buggy one. Being bored by a game when it reaches the real final release is not a thing I so prefer.

If a game is in a really good condition but is still being maintained I'm happy to play it! I don't mind new content as well as occasional bug fixes as long as the game is in a pretty good shape. (:

Thanks Alex! Thanks Feral! It's really nice to see that all kind of companies are participating in improving Mesa/radv nowadays. Go Go Go!

Quoting: libgradevBarring the fab that makes the parts burning down, mine will (Ryzen + Vega).

Amazing isn't it: moved to Linux a few years ago, wouldn't touch an AMD card (I actually had one and the support was so bad I grabbed a GTX670 after a couple of months) - now I can't see myself buying another NVidia card again...

Turnabout eh?

The exactly same happened to me! I bought an HD5850 in the past but after switching to Linux I was very unhappy considering the performance, integration into the Kernel, bugs etc - fglrx just sucked. Therefore I bought a GTX 560ti which was ment to be slower - under Linux it performed much better, thanks to the driver.

Now im very happy with my RX 480 since I could max out almost everything. "Deus Ex Mankind Devided" excluded. (;

I'm still waiting for AMD VCE hardware encoding support. While this is already working with vaapi and libx264 it's still considered to be a hack due to the fact there's no official support for it by AMD. :'(

I would also be interested in if the loading time of Trine 2 and Trine 3 will decrease. The game keeps in loafing for a very long time.

They should have done it from the very beginning as most studios/publishers. If they could benefit at least a little bit they might consider cross platform developing for future games.

Is Black Mesa a viable alternative? I'm not sure if I feel like playing a 13 years old game. If you've played those games from the very beginning it's not a problem.

Actually the 1080 will drop in price if the 1080ti succeeds and if Vega is competitive.
