Yes, a sensible company will leave millions on the table if their manpower is better spent elsewhere. The harsh reality of the world.

One percent is still one percent. If a business can use its people to do something more and get a larger return, then they'll do that and forget about the one percent. If you want to be a strict 'no tux, no bux'er, you'll have to accept that you'll miss out on some stuff.

Quoting: KelsRemember that not everyone in the Linux community is on GoG. Not everyone speaks up. It's generally assumed that if one person expresses interest, they represent several others who simply don't speak up or use that platform.

Valve confirms their continued support for Linux gaming

A common problem with professional software is that they have existed for a very long time and have had a very long history on certain platforms. Adobe is probably one of the few that had to make a switch at some point to move away from their MacOS focus. I personally use software at work that has a history of Unix since the 1970s. These programs grew big on SunOS/Solaris/IRIX and when Linux came around it was quickly supported as well. With the effective demise of SGI and Sun, Linux and Windows are still the main platforms with Linux being the definite choice for the calculation clusters. In this part of the software corner, Linux support was the logical choice.

Quoting: STiATWithout the userbase, organizations like Adobe won't port their software - why would they?

Wow! This site is awesome! I might even consider supporting it. :P
Space combat game EVERSPACE should have a proper Linux release soon

Size doesn't matter! Not even for a backlog. :P
Haven't played Elite Dangerous. Did play X3 though. Flying is a bit different in this one though. It has the mouse as the primary control and using a controller was almost impossible for me. It doesn't even recognise joysticks (unless that added that recently). So it will basically fly towards where you point your cross hair and you control strafe/roll with the keyboard. It kind of works for the game though.

I have too long a backlog, but this definitely looks like it will scratch the Elite Dangerous flying itch I've been having... Anyone played both Elite Dangerous and this? Specifically the flying, how does it compare?

The "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" image has red exclamation marks over the Mac and Linux icons and it says "key not available". Anybody know what that means?
XCOM 2 for Linux has been updated, also there's a new XCOM 2 Collection
27 March 2018 at 6:51 pm UTC
Technically I can't because I haven't tried WotC myself yet because I'm well into the base game.
I started with regular XCOM and never did Enemy Within due to lack of time. So for me it probably would have been better to start with the expansion immediately. But everybody has their own way.

Quoting: fabertaweI suspect you're advocating starting with WOTC ;)

Ask yourself this: when after finishing a campaign of maybe 40 or 50 hours, will you have the time and drive to do it a second time?

Quoting: fabertaweSo my question is, should I jump straight into "War Of The Chosen" or play XCOM 2 vanilla first?

Of course you're right, I am interested. I didn't have anything interesting to say, but I am one of the two (as of now) people to have "liked" the article.

Wow that voice over in the video is annoying. Some weird voice synthesizer stuff I'm guessing.
