OpenGL to be deprecated in the next macOS release, could mean interesting things for Linux gaming

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWait, what? How does that work?! I did a quick google--Android is currently at like six times iOS market share. So like, do iphone users pay six times as much for games, or play six times as many games per capita?
There are no cheap iphones, so I suppose iphone users are already used to spending excessive amounts of money. Not so surprising that they do this for other things too. I suspect that the number op people that actually use expensive android smartphones might actually be a lot smaller than 1/6th of the total.

Quoting: stretch611KLei does have a permanent 20% discount for anyone that has ever bought one of their titles before. This is why people are seeing 40% off while logged into steam.
That explains a lot. My first purchase on Steam on the day I registered was a Klei game.

Quoting: GuestI hope SS4 will support Vulkan from day one
I wouldn't be surprised if SS4 will be Vulkan only on Linux.

Quoting: KelsHuh. Looking at the sale page again, I see that out of the SS games, only 3 and Bogus Detour have the Linux logo.
That lack of Linux logo is a bit deceptive. A bunch of them have Linux through Fusion even though the SteamOS logo is not shown on those games.

Quoting: KelsSo you're a smart bunch, having chosen Linux and all. So let me pose a brain-teaser to you.

If I were to buy only one Serious Sam game, which would it be?
Fusion
Fusion can't be bought directly. It's included with the games that are supported by it.

As for choice, what razing32 said. Depends on taste. Although, with these prices there's little reason to actually choose one. Other than a thought experiment. :D

You can grab Oxygen Not Included on Steam with 40% off until June 21st. Absolutely recommended!
I just noticed that it only says 40% when I'm logged in. But when I opened it in a private window, it says 20% off. Since you can't buy anything without logging in, there must be some other reason for this difference.

First time I even heard of SCUM. Might be interesting to keep an eye on for now. Also interesting is that Vulkan support for UE4 appears to be getting pretty decent now, so this may help reduce the dev work load for Linux ports.

The Underhollow, a Battle Royale-like mode for Dota 2 is live and it's damn fun

There are times when I consider giving Dota 2 a go. But then I remind myself of what I posted in the Oxygen article and decide that it's probably not a good idea. Probably. Maybe.

These animations are so well done. Love it. Love the game. Love Klei in general! Need to play more of it. Need to finish other games too! Aaaargh. I need to go have a talk with my boss. These 50 or so hours I spend at work need to be spent playing all those games I have no time for. :D

The Long Dark has a big survival mode update in preparation for overhauling the story mode

Some of that stuff looks great.

Not so sure what I should do with the updated first two episodes. Spent like 35 hours on completing those and I think I'd rather just continue the next one.
