Quoting: rustybroomhandle...Will it work? Well, publishers are phenomenally stupid. They will happily develop for e.g. Stadia because it's a "new" platform pushed by a big company. But if you say "Linux" they hide under a table. My guess is that when Valve is ready to start rolling out Steam Machines v2, they will hardly even mention Linux in any marketing, but rather push it as some great new thing they invented between lattes.
An interesting point of view. Nevertheless, please bear in mind that Stadia (and technically probably all streaming platforms) act mainly as an "ultimate DRM" for publishers. That is - I believe - what publishers really see in it...

Quoting: Liam DaweArticle updated with info on the windows => ubuntu move support. Also they made us aware the date changed to October 1 for USA/Canada.
Great news. But more important question is: will this win=>Lin change affect device's support and/or warranty in any way?

2) CS:GO
3) C# 7.1 and .NET Core 2.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development (yes, I know it is a bit dated, but well... :smile: )

Also - I'm not buying a laptop with force-preloaded OEM Windows! :neutral:

Hmmm...
Proton hanging 100% times on OriginThinSetup.exe (all the Wine beauty magic sits in RAM and nothing happens) :(
Not working for me (on Ryzen 4700U with Oibaf's AMD drivers; other games work normally).

System Shock reboot gets a weirdly chill new trailer

Quoting: TheSHEEEPYeah, that trailer completely fails at delivering that tense System Shock atmosphere.
No idea who thought this music was a good idea.

It is hilarious, sure, but what are they trying to sell here?
System Shock or Serious Sam?
Rest assured that when you play the demo, it definitely is *not* a SeriousSam-styled shooter :)
