Quoting: MohandevirUnless it changed, from the start they specified it will be a custom, amd based, PC games compatible device:

Ah, interesting. Couldn't find any usable information on the Ataribox website.

Quoting: mahagrI really hope it'll be Ryzen based, if it is, it'll be instant buy for me. If it's using older AMD, I see no point of getting the device...

What makes you think it's gonna be AMD64 architecture? More likely it will be ARM based.

Quoting: meggermanThere is a similar game from Milkstone Studios, it's 1/4 of the price and will probably give most of the satisfaction of Mantis burn.

Unfortunately it seems to be having an issue with the latest Nvidia drivers :|

Yes. Apart from the fact that it doesn't work and never has on my machine.

Quoting: marcin1509I don't know why it is so expensive. 16 euro for stupid 2D racing game ? Maybe I'm blind but I can't see anything nice in it.
Why devs can't make any better game? There are not much good racing games for Linux, unfortunately.
If I knew how to make games, I would make the racing game of my own.

I still count 3 dimensions. And I don't know whether it is "stupid". And it sounds a bit... shall I say "odd"? when someone asks the devs for a "better game" and stats that he or she has no clue "how to make games".

Quoting: Krogash86Why so much racing and rts on Linux and no good fps or mmorpg games :(

So many racing games? I currently count 3 (in the vein of "serious racing" ): Grid Autosport, Dirt Rally and F1 2015. Now comes a fourth which will replace the 2015 version. One for Rally fans, one for Street Racing, one for F1. We got everything barely covered.

Quoting: pedrojmartmI have been playing War THunder. 3 hours every day, sadly it is on opengl and it runs about 30-40 fps minus than on Windows but even like that, i enjoy it. I hope Vulkan get to it really soon.

I'm also a rather frequent WT player (same nick as here), but I can't really complain. It runs flawlessly with all details maxed around 60+fps on 2560x1440 on a GTX1060.

Quoting: Leopard

Even our own limited survey shows about 31.78% of people also use Windows.

Including you :P

Anyway , main thing is we are so much dependent on Steam. We need at least one out of Steam but yet popular title.

Does "War Thunder" suffice?

Quoting: KohriasAccording to StatCounter GNU/Linux is at 4% in Germany with ChromeOS being non-existant. One of the rare occassions where it feels like something is going in the right direction where I live ;)

Additionally it lists 1.6 percent "unknown". If these are OSes belonging to the Linux pool we are actually lurching towards six percent.

Just bought on Humble Store. I suppose the "1,000 copies" shouldn't be much of an issue.

I'm interested. I already found F1 2015 quite entertaining and if F1 2017 improves on that I'm definitely tempted to throw some money at Feral.
