Wine works great. Some two years ago it was an 80% solution, meaning that 80% of all games compiled for windows would work out of the box.

I have two prefixes, a 64bit and a 32bit windows one, both running steam and usually games work with one or the other; the problems being the same ones as on windows itself.

However, of my 4000 games on Steam, 3000 run on Linux, so I don't really tend to run wine any more. It's slow upon startup, so unless I want to play some very specific game, I just play on native Linux.

It does run fine on my i7 with a GTX 960.

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: SeegrasI actually know casual gamers on Linux that refuse to use steam. They only buy software from humblebundle, gog, itch and so on.

If you look at that way , there are many (posssibly much more than Linux) Windows users who are pirating games or buying drm-free games. That is not a valid reasoning.

Also , are you sure that your friends are 'buying' drm-free games ; right?

Of course, you're right in respect of the percentages.

But also: Ever seen illegal copies of Linux games floating around? Yes there are, but they're far and few between, so yes, they are BUYING them.

Quoting: LeopardNetmarket Share statics is doesn't mean anything. They're all looking to Steam Survey and that is right thing to do. Not every user play games on Mac and Linux also even Windows.

Unity was unusable anyway, with their menu on top, for users of focus-follows-mouse.

Quoting: medvelet your product be free of real-world politics!

Free of current, actual real world politics, maybe. But never otherwise. Not even free of "insinuation" of current real world politics.

Because, if you haven't noticed, it's about playing. And this means, it's about engaging in a non-serious activity with no repercussions in reality. So yes, a game is where you can actually try out things -- including genocide -- without it having any impact on reality. And it's important for it to be so, lest some fucking morons try out genocide and other such shit for real, instead of in a game.

So don't ever go and criticize a game for providing a safe space for trying out things.

Yeah, I'm wondering as well. I can't get it to work.
