People should also be aware that if you use NTFS games folders (say you dual boot) then extra steps are needed to get games working good on ntfs partitions. Otherwise don't use ntfs or you'll have weird things happen.

Won't be seeing much from AMD until end of Q1 2020, they even said so themselves. Yes there is the RX 5700 and XT but their barely able to touch the 2070 in the results we have seen so far, hopefully the XT can at least offer a good 2070 alternative, but then again the 2070 can do ray tracing at a higher performance level.

See what the 5800 5900 and 5950 bring to the table next year. Also those complaining about NVIDIA drivers, keep in mind AMD open-source ones also have plenty of problems.

Biggest annoyance with NVIDIA for me is their stupid control panel and lack of features and inability to remember settings between standby or resets (yes even config files reset to default).

Stadia is a bit of a scam don't you think? Pay full price for a game you can only play on a subscription model, once you stop paying that money the product is void.

Surprised people even talk about stadia anymore. It might have been ok if it was like netflix, but the requirement to buy full retail priced titles on top... lmao

"no tux no bucks" sounds great until you come back down to planet earth and realise that gamer market on Linux has had very little growth over the years, and in 20 years time it would not change much if we all adopted this "no tux no bucks" idealism.

Developers: No market, no tux... unfortunately linux gamers DO NOT make decisions for publishers and developers, the HARSH reality that "no tux no bucks" wizards need to wake up too!

With this wine version and previous(maybe), 64-bit script extenders (mainly 4 Bethesda games) are meant to work.

I guess people were hoping for a new skyrim scale of game but got much less, it happens. Ultima Underworld series of games in the past were quite large. Not sure if this is a spinoff of that universe or not..

GOG is good but really needed to Galaxy2.0 support for confidence, it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't support MacOS already, but they do, which means their actively avoiding Linux even tho it would be quite easy to release there. That's concerning.

Anyway is this game OpenGL or Vulkan? kinda sick of developers attempting to do OpenGL correctly but failing horribly (Ark comes to mind)

Guessing its a monthly subscription model and run as a service, so you own nothing.

If you actually BUY games then they need to provide a copy that isn't stadia dependant, maybe a steam or gog key comes with that purchase for future use when stadia stops working (and it will) sometime in the future.

Quoting: DragunovMore rich people toys...Price is outrageous

yeah that's kinda what I was thinking, I mean you could get a switch for cheaper, aren't Nintendo allowing steam streaming on the switch soon via app?

If you saw my skyrimse fully modded, you're jaw would probably drop, yes 4k 60fps 200+ modded skyrim, it was a long road of xedit's and load order testing but I made it... lol (doing that under Linux would have led to my death!)
