You could help the VK9 project get their DX9 to Vulkan done. Really only 1 guy working on it and he is past the half way stage.

Some game devs have disabled multiplayer on their GOG release of games, for example No Man's Sky GOG has no MP component.... kinda nasty and should be slapped on the box cover in huge RED text!

A simple prompt to check if you have GOG galaxy already installed (thus ignore) and if not then offer the customer a option to install it, as OPTIONAL. It shouldn't be auto installing it or forcing no other option (such as just install the bloody game option).

In saying that I do want a native version of GOG Galaxy so I can keep some of my games up to date (getting sick of constantly re-downloading them due to major patch changes).

If THINGS like Denuvo want to continue existing in the future they will need to support other OS's and also graphics wrappers like DXVK and proton, otherwise developers will slowly forget they exist!

I think MS is just going to keep buying out paying developers to go with their MS Store exclusively... I don't even bother with it, not sure what gamers are?¿

Unfortunately allot of games have online components these days and if you just did DRM free then it all falls apart very quickly.

But for single player games I definitely see DRM as a unneeded evil! let's face it, EVERY game gets pirated now anyway, DRM is just not effective and the ones that have been for short periods of time (months) have resulted in SHOCKING performance and hassles for legitimate players that the game tanks in sales... how retarded is that!

I can think of a few ass games that tried that :), also anything on the MS Store is likely to have HEAVY DRM!

If anything, DRM sort of promotes people to pirate software just to get around the nonsense.

A good example is Simplify3D printer software, only lets you register 2 operating systems (not computers, but OS's), and often forgets registered OS's, then when you try to relink it via their website you hit a brick wall limit of how many times that's allowed. Answer to the problem, PIRATE IT!

Anyway that is 3d printer software, but similar issues happen with games. (or worse)

It might be hard on Feral and VP, or it might be a godsend.

If more gamers move to Linux then more developers are simply just going to make a native build for their game as to have better quality control, which might mean they offload the work to Feral and VP to do, officially.

Time will tell. The issue I have atm is some Linux ports of games like ARMA3 are lagged behind windows updates, and the game is heavily built around an online community!

• Fullscreen support has been improved: fullscreen games will be seamlessly stretched to the desired display without interfering with the native monitor resolution or requiring the use of a virtual desktop.

This is going to be a godsend, too many games resize desktop resolution rather then just stretching, avoiding interfering with desktop apps!
