I'm gonna try the multiplayer out. My friends and I need a low-key game to play when we get angry at Overwatch.

The trailer looked cool and fun to me, but Tchey's comments worried me. But then metaldazza revealed more to come, and now I'm interested again. :)

I keep laughing about that one. I will have to check this one out I think. :D

Eleventh Hour Games have shown some great Linux support with their action RPG 'Last Epoch'

Last Epoch looks really promising to me. I can't think of why I wouldn't buy it on release day.

I *did* have a PS4 briefly, so I'm familiar with the advantages (and the disadvantages) of having such a device. When my current graphics card no longer 'cuts it' (gtx970 -- it's keeping up remarkably well at 1080p), I'll have to decide between upgrading it, or getting a playstation.
Ah. Yeah, my friend's GTX 970 performs essentially the same as my RX 580. There isn't a reason to upgrade this year for 1080p I don't think.

I really like my PS4 but I play it in waves. I'll be on it a lot for a couple weeks and then I won't start it up for a few weeks. You know, a lot of my PS4 games are Ubisoft because I tend to like them but I gave up on Uplay years ago, even before I left Windows completely. I've never had a problem playing Ubisoft games with my friends on PSN. Very seamless. That said, I would have a REALLY hard time giving up PC gaming and solely using the PS4. If you keep your video card upgrades in the $250 range, then you can stay current enough. I mean, your 970 will run Overwatch on ultra settings over 100 FPS (in WINE even!).

Quotei am curious which games will work in the future and if developers already adjust their games to work with proton at least.... especially ubisoft

As soon as we have a solution for uplay under wine, I'm nuking my windoze partition. I'm not terribly hopeful, though. For every fix, there's an upcoming uplay update to break it. Also, the drm isn't the only problem with their titles.
There is a solution to Ubisoft. It's called PS4. IMO, it's worth it if that's the last thing holding you to Windows. There are a few exclusives that are really excellent as well, like Uncharted, Bloodborne, and The Last of Us that will never come to PC. Also, a lot of Ubisoft games are third-person, so you shouldn't miss the KB + mouse. (But if you do, the PS4 accepts KB + mouse as well.)
