Cool! I'll happily give up a game of Artifact to see what Kan Gao has to say. I hope this is a prelude to another full game since everything Freebird Games makes will be a day one purchase for me.

Google's game streaming platform Project Stream is built on Linux and Vulkan

So if the game has to run on Windows (let's face it, Ubisoft did not suddenly make Linux/Vulkan port for this) and the client is a browser, where does Vulkan factor in? Even if Linux is in between there for the hosting side, I still don't see a role for Vulkan.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has a new 'Beyond the Baltic Sea' expansion out now

Quoting: M@GOidI reverted to 1.32 (now it says my profile in incompatible, yay...) but at last the performance is back at a fluid 60fps on the cities.
ETS2 backups your profile directory on a version change. So you can just copy it back.

Wait, is this about FF for wheels or some specific devices? Because FF for my XBox controller has always worked (well, since 2014 when I bought the game) without any workarounds in ETS.
It's about wheels. It's also wrong, it is supported, but only the G920 driver is complete enough to handle it. It also appears to be strangely balanced compared to Windows because you have to turn it way down to get a bearable response.

X4: Foundations for Linux will not see a beta at release today, still coming though

To be honest, I'm kind of glad that it's delayed a bit. I have a couple of other games to play/finish and really no time for another one. Would be nice to have it over Christmas though.

Artifact is an exciting and engrossing card game from Valve, out now

Quoting: GuestSo the impression I'm getting from game reviews: It's design is a breath of fresh air for the shitty online card game trends, but not playable by sane people due to being a microtransaction pay-to-win hellhole.
I think more "...., but not playable according to people who don't play it because it is a microtransaction pay-to-win hellhole." accurate.

Quoting: EikeI never played a Trading Card Game, neither online nor offline.
Is there any introduction to Artifact I could read for some (casual) gaming?
I watched a youtube video from the tournament where they demonstrated the two tutorial matches. Should be easy enough to find and makes things much clearer than reading up on it.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPYou can finance something without being that greedy:
So exactly how greedy is "that greedy"? Do you know how many booster packs you need to get a competitive deck? Do you know the drop chance of the rarest card in the game? Do you know how important the rarest card is for actually winning the game?

All this sounds like some of the reviews on Steam: "This game has not depth to it" (play time 1 hour). Seriously?

I share the worry that it could be abused. But it is too early to tell. So I spent 18 Euro to find out. I spent that much on a game with 5 hours of gameplay, so I'm sure it'll be worth at least that amount. Unless I don't enjoy the game, then I have learned at least that fact.

Quoting: GuestThe fact that valve would rather do this over giving the fans what they really want(half life 3 or anything that is not gwent with dota 2 characters) from valve speaks volumes to how much valve actually cares about the people that play valves games

someone had to say it
But could they actually make a game that lives up to the hype?

An update on the cross-platform Civilization VI patch for Linux and the recently announced expansion

Quoting: PatolaIf Civilization VI can fix their multiplayer support, why can't the Total War games?
They did. Cross platform multiplayer works perfectly between Mac and Linux. As for Windows, Creative Assembly won't let them.
