It's a pretty great bundle of games. With one slight problem. If you've been buying games for a while, you likely own most of it already.

You missed this one on the crowdfunding page. I missed this one entirely. Never saw it before. Curious mix of indie and AAA graphical elements. The trailer is not giving me any insight into the gameplay though.

Quoting: mao_dze_dun
Quoting: elmapul*personal reasons*
" including Meltdown, Spectre, ZombieLoad "
yeah, we know who did shit back then, lol.

just kidding but we never know...
An internal memo was leaked which shows that he apparently did quit over personal reasons. Sometimes there is nothing to it. Hope everything with him and his family is ok and he just wants to spend more time with them. Pretty sure he should have enough money to retire should he wish it (though he's probably just taking a break).
Besides, it's silly to think that in something as complex as a modern CPU, you could identify a single person to have a major stake in anything related to it.

Supraland is leaving GOG after less than a year, dev says sales were low

Quoting: zilotI have played the game and finished it. It was an amazing game so I heavily recommend it. If as I could read he only "compiled a linux version with unreal engine", I got to say that it doesn't suffer from any bugs. Slow for some people ? Maybe, I can't tell.
So did I, 100%ed it without a single issue. Yes, performance is not that great, but it really isn't that great on Windows either. It's just that the basic double fps on dx11 makes it generally more playable.

However, at some point the dev must have changed something because it currently doesn't run at all. I suspect this is not a "Linux" issue, but a real bug that just happens to trigger (more?) on Linux. Solving this would be what multiplatform development is good for, finding problems with you code by running it through multiple systems. But it appears that just dropping it is easier for now. Until it fully breaks of course.

Anybody here that use KDE, has an NVidia gpu and uses gsync? Does it work properly?

Wow. The improvement in graphics and animation is pretty darn amazing. Where the original was kind of basic, this looks absolutely gorgeous. Gameplay looks smoother as well. If the rest of the game is as good as the looks, it'll be a winner.

Decided to finally finish my modded Factorio game (Industrial Revolution mod). This is going to take some time :D

Same. I think multiple games have been in Monthly already.

Total War Saga: TROY is now a 12 month Epic Games Store exclusive

Quoting: TheSHEEEP10-20% is fair, with a higher cut as developers can opt in to additional services (forum, matchmaking, etc.) with 20-30% being the cut for all services used.
You're forgetting the biggest value. Steam presents the product to 100 million monthly active users. No other store comes close. Except for the Apple store and the Play store. And surprise, they use 30% as well.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPFrom a developers perspective - and most devs don't care about Linux, that's the sad truth - the Epic deal is really damn good.
It's clearly not a great deal unless Epic throws money at devs. Although for at least some it is that they prepay the devs for a number of sales in exchange for exclusivity. But after the period they all go back to Steam because that's still where the real money is made.

At the end of the day, Valve doesn't need to change anything because the majority of customers are still on Steam. When that changes, things will change.
