Metro Exodus to get a release date for Linux "soon" say 4A Games

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: SalvatosNow if only we could get a similar announcement for Borderlands 3 (announced yesterday to come to Steam on the 13th of March). Come on Feral!
Didn't they do the previous Linux versions themselves?
No Feral did the Mac port of BL1, Aspyr did the Mac+Linux ports of BL2. But seeing as Aspyr can't be bothered to bring the last update to Linux, I suspect most people would prefer to have it done by Feral.

Because they said they were working on it (although not being release critical).

Quoting: Lolo01
Quoting: celphyA developer that has decided to enter into an exclusivity deal with Epic is not someone I want to support.
In the end they are placing money over consumer interests and hoping it works out in their favour.
I personally don't want it to pay off so I'd rather not buy those games.
I understand your point of view.
But still, it's a huge Linux port. They are rare, it must be taken into account.
Indeed. The exclusivity deal was a big stain. But doing a full Linux port for a game like this is still a huge positive. Everybody will have to weigh the positives and negatives for themselves, but for me it's still a net positive.

That was a nice touch. It'll no doubt trigger some people. :D

GOG update their refund policy giving gamers more time to decide

I've always wondered about the return policy for a store like GoG. They can remove a product from an account, but there is no way to remove it from the actual computer. The potential for abuse was always there and it's very likely that it happens. I can't begin to guess how common it is. On the other hand, it doesn't make much of a difference compared to people getting it "elsewhere". Except that it might save a bit on other types of fraud.

Speculation: porting studio Feral Interactive could be in some trouble (updated: they're fine)

In Dutch we say "een storm in een glas water" (I'm sure the meaning can be figured out with the knowledge of English. I'm expecting that this is what we have here.

NVIDIA talk up bringing DirectX Ray Tracing to Vulkan

Quoting: ShmerlIt is a gimmick.
No, it's a solution the the rendering problems that rasterisers can't solve. It's just the first generation of hardware that attempts to use it in real time graphics. It's as much a gimmick as 3D rendering was with the first 3Dfx card.

NVIDIA talk up bringing DirectX Ray Tracing to Vulkan

I'm interested to see if someone will take this to put DXR -> Vulkan support in Wine. Probably not official since it uses a vendor extension, but I expect someone is itching to try.
