2014 season was thought to be The Iceman's last... So glad it wasn't! Räikkönen and Vettel the greatest characters of the bunch.

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger may come to Linux and Mac depending on Windows sales

Quoting: Feist"It's something we'll be looking at depending on the windows sales."

I've always felt a little confused about statement like this. I mean a great majority of linux games, are games with rather small/modest sales overall and there are plenty of linux titles with relatively tiny sales numbers for windows & linux alike. On the other hand, there's a large number of "Super Sellers" for windows, where a linux version has never been up for consideration at all and any request is met with the "cold shoulder".

So obviously "lots of windows sales" is not an argument for a linux version. Sometimes I almost get the reverse impression, that the more poorly a game sells for windows the greater is the chance for a linux version
Confused too and i find this Windows sales dependency thing an artificial excuse. If one doesn't really want to make a Linux port, then just bloody straight out say it. Maybe some other instance will, later on.

Anything that's "depending on Windows" is something i'll never support.

More of a retro gamer myself but this really caught my interest! Some Jokery stuff in there XD always loved heist movies in general.

Quoting: KithopCompletely unrelated, but I can't see the word 'Sandstorm' and not snicker any more.

Thanks, was wondering about that song...

XCOM 2 tested on R7 370 with Crimson and RadeonSI

I wonder how swiftly will Feral react to these problems? It's very important to make this much more playable and soon as it's one of those day 1 titles for Linux gaming. I suppose it's not the drivers, but the game itself as other platforms also suffer the same way..

Ars slams SteamOS over issues with a single machine and a 4K monitor

Quoting: BTRECan't say I'm too surprised. I've never regarded Ars a good source for tech news. Sadly, the tech news world is in a very sorry state.
Instances are increasingly getting manipulated, controlled by money (surprise), now that Linux has gotten more of a foothold. Certain "players" behind the curtain are using all means necessary trying to make it slip. The easiest targets are young writers with enough reputation to be used as tools, who knows what they're being offered.

The change is a start of a path towards losing power for some. Valve and Gaben are such important allies for us in these winds of change. Tinfoil not required here either :-)

Garry Newman of Rust and Garry's Mod regrets supporting Linux

I don't understand what positive Garry believes to accomplish through these kind of statements? These kind of things doesn't really make me feel bad but definitely doesn't bring a boost of joy either.

Thanks for the in-depth review! Been following those early access videos and got an impression that this is my kinda game.
