The latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux market-share has declined again

Nice graph, that says more than the individual numbers. I do wonder about the section before it though. In any case, it appears Steam is growing quicker for Windows users than it is for Linux users at the moment. And PUBG isn't doing it any favours either.

As for Windows users on this site. Even I do that at work. No chance of me getting a survey on Windows though.

Quoting: jensFingers crossed for Rise of the Tomb Raider! Then I would finally have a good reason to invest into a new 1440p UWQHD monitor and a steam controller :)
I would like to play it in 3440x1440, but considering that TR barely managed, I fear I may have to upgrade my GPU first.

Quoting: liamdaweThey could mean it the other way as I also mentioned, I'm just covering both possibilities.
As for weird communication. I work at a company of only a handful of people and we still manage to not know what the other is up to. Most people are terrible at communication.

An the technical problems. It's a UE4 game. If they wait too long with checking their other platforms, they run into trouble.

Sounds to me like you're reading too much into it. I can't get more meaning out of it than that they didn't plan on getting a last minute technical problem.

According to netmarketshare Linux hit 6.91% market share last month, higher than Mac

Quoting: veccherbut on steam, it went down 0,11%, what is alot when you have less than 1%. For us with gaming purposes, i hope it goes back to at least 1%, we can't go down anymore.
My guess is that the current downward spiral is the PUBG effect. This game is so popular (as proven by the record breaking numbers) that it's drawing a lot of new players to Steam. Unfortunately, these are only Windows players. Since PUBG has seen another big growth last months, the September numbers probably won't get any better.

Rocket League's huge 'Autumn Update' is now available
29 Sep 2017 at 1:32 pm UTC

Quoting: KetilIt is currently on sale. Should I buy rocket league game of the year edition, or the cheaper one without the DLCs?
All Rocket League DLC is basically the same. One or two car models and a couple of other visual extras. It doesn't add anything to the gameplay, but if you like some customisation you can have a look. It only add a few of the DLC though.

TIC-80, a 'fantasy computer' is now open source under the MIT license

Quoting: g000hLong ago, I used one at school.
You're old! At least we used a Philips P2000 [External Link]! Oh wait, oops. :whistle:

I find these pseudo retro thingies quite funny. On the surface they may appear to be limited like old computers, but when you have a more detailed look, they're still much more advanced than what we had back then. I still enjoy programming for the old 80s systems though.
