I would be more inclined to buy stuff on GOG if they hurry up and release GOG Galaxy for Linux, makes it hard to keep titles up to date when you gotta go through 100 menus on their website, and often download a FULL sized SH instead of smaller update files.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's Space Odyssey apparently will come to Linux

Being cool is not enough to make a game of this caliber, sadly. Expect feature trimming to the point that it becomes a 2d side-scroller :/

Two Worlds II RPG delayed for Linux

There is more reasons to not support 32bit further then 'just because its old'. Imagine for a second if you had to support DX9,DX11,DX12 API for your game, for a simpleton that may seem fine, but for a developer it means effectively writing their game 3x for 3 different systems. Same is said with 32bit and 64bit, if you want newer applications then you should be expected to move to a newer platform to support it, because its a major hassle to downgrade code to run on a lesser environment!

Apparently you need to pay extra to get access to the games console command, so say you can fix quests etc like you do in Skyrim. Wondering if this developer is serious about the gaming industry, it also makes it hard to believe they will honor their Linux version commitment.

Quoting: 14If it gets multiplayer / co-op, I'll get it, otherwise I'm personally not interested in playing by myself.
I will get into it once that happens also, maybe some twitch stream stuff.

Well I have it already because I was following its development long before release and there was a discount, it was risky and It may still turn into abandon-ware at some point, but we will see.

It has got much better since pre-steam launch versions, I hope they can improve on it a fair bit more and remove that god awful fog of war, and perhaps make better LOD for shrubbery/trees as the pop-in is ugly.

It runs ok under amdgpu mesa driver, however still needs allot of work before 4k resolution is considered playable. I run at 1440p for any sort of sensible framerate.

LMAO, I hate being right sometimes.

Large texture sizes is a big problem with OpenGL with its amazingly low Limit of 750MB or so on 32bit apps! DX9 32bit has a limit of 4GB on windows8+ (is unlimited on Win7). Truly it is a troubling issue that makes no sense to me.

If you plan to make a HD graphics game, for the love of god start with a 64bit exe or face major consequences!

Liam is it possible you can do a list of E3 games that might be coming to Linux? might make for a interesting news article. I'm trying to find out details myself but with not much luck...

Steam Direct launches as Valve gave the greenlight to many of the remaining 3,400 games left

Gone are the days of botnets green-lighting terrible games from terrible developers, hopefully...

Guess the bots will focus now on posting fake reviews, however I think there are some conditions to that also?
