Quoting: GuestMy only concern is that Intel is now going to have to go up against nvidia & amd, and those two have quite the portfolio of patents between them for anything high performance in video cards.

The Patent Cross Licence between AMD and Intel [External Link] is available on the SEC website. Looks to me like it includes GPUs (the "Processor" definition includes "graphics coprocessor"). Maybe the part of the definition of "AMD Processor" which says "or any AMD Subsidiary (provided such purchased or acquired design was not previously generally publicly available)" excludes things from ATI but as that acquisition was in 2006 and the first GCN cards came out in 2012 there should still be quite a bit that is covered. Some parts of the agreement are omitted from that and filed separately with the SEC to be kept confidential so perhaps something there excludes GPUs.

That reddit user here. Unfortunately I don't think that counting flaw affected the data that was used for the periods used, so no extra probable Linux users got missed.

The last survey results published with that flaw were for March 2018. The results for April were published in early May along with the explanation that cyber cafe customers were overcounted. Going from the March to April survey results saw Linux jumping from 0.33% to 0.55% and Simplified Chinese dropping from 52.24% to 30.35%.

So that corrected data should also have been available for the presentation.

Paradox are having a sale. Here are their Linux games [External Link]. There is also list of games which are on sale [External Link] but I couldn't find a way to filter on both at once.

This is the store belonging to the publisher of these games. My understanding is that purchasing there gives a Steam key.

The last big patch to Stellaris seems to have caused quite a stir

Elsewhere the reaction has been mostly positive, with puzzlement about the Steam reviews. Today's threads on reddit about the Steam reviews:

Mutiny!! [External Link] is on sale on Steam at the moment for much less than it has ever been before [External Link]. Maybe they're cashing in on the publicity, maybe they're getting something for this while the still can.

HuniePop [External Link] is on sale at Humble.

Quoting: MayeulCWasn't this up to 16 controllers previously?

I think it was up to 16 controllers per PC but 4 per dongle.

Quoting: musojon74... no steam client ...

Steam Link uses Linux on ARM so it maybe that can be made to run. It falls well short of the full Steam client of course, and doesn't have any native games.

A few more sales ...

F1 2015 is free for a limited time [External Link].

This was free from Humble 5 weeks ago but some may have missed out. Codemasters have given away some of their games in the past, shortly before removing them from sale, which then stayed in the the Steam library of anyone who already had them.

I don't think porting this worked out too well for Feral. I hope F1 2017 is doing better for them.

85% off Guns of Icarus Alliance [External Link].

You can also email the receipt and get 3 extra copies in return.

Artifex Bundi bundle at indiegala [External Link].

Three hidden object games for $1 or 10 for $3.49

My guess is they're using the nanosecond frame timing [External Link] feature.
