Quoting: Mountain ManLaminar are big Mac guys -- it's their development platform -- and have been planning to support Metal for a long time, at least since 2015, that is if they haven't added support already. I haven't really kept up with X-Plane news.

Planning yes, but reading between the lines they're nowhere near ready yet. I suppose this does give them a deadline to develop it before the next major macos release. Still, the rendering engine is mostly one guy with more to do than just working on Vulkan/Metal. No so sure they can make it stable before that time.

Quoting: [email protected]They did say 'legacy apps' will run though. So they are likely going to ship some version of OpenGL.

They said they will run for the coming version. In that version it will be deprecated, which means they intend to remove it for the next one.

A lot (if not most) professional software still uses OpenGL (older compatibility stuff even). Seems like a harsh move to kill that off. I'm sure Laminar Research of X-Plane won't be amused either.

But... but... I've already uninstalled it!

I actually find the $7.5B figure worrying. Companies don't spend that much money to not get something out of it. I have a hard time believing that this can be earned by selling pro-accounts, so there must be some other vision for how this could be made profitable. I don't think I want to be around to find out what it is.

Quoting: dubigrasuYeah, but he's leading the Feral's Linux team (in that rather confusing screenshot).

I hadn't even properly read that.

Quoting: dubigrasuWonder what does this means for us, if anything...

From the screenshot of his linked in page [External Link], he's leading the Linux team. I image that would definitely be helpful.

Almost 17 hours after a week of ownership. That can't be good! :D

Quoting: GuestCan it be Vampyr, the new game from Dontnod? Though Focus Home have never worked with Feral before...

This was is my best guess. Or is it my hopeful thought?

Apparently I have one of the games in my library. Not sure how that happened.
