Looks like this could be amazing, will have to keep a watch out on it. Hopefully if it comes to Linux it will work well with mesa.

I have been playing Company of Heroes 2 and mostly War Thunder, it is my addiction at this point. I am having a lot of fun with the game. I just wish it performed better on mesa. Planes my framerates are ok, but tanks is pretty bad, including the menu.

Seems to be more in line with the sales figures the developers gave you and not so much with the steam survey...
Tyranny gets a massive patch, an event pack and has an expansion teased

about an hour ago I read their tweet about Tales from the Tier, but did not see any news for an expansion. I am very excited about this and New Game+. Give the game another play through before the expansion is released. Makes me more likely to grab the event pack.
Are you ready for some more Tyranny? Something is being teased for tomorrow

Seems it is an event pack. With new story elements in the existing world, so no new areas to explore, nothing like an expansion. Not sure how I feel about it this moment.

SteamOS updated, Valve drops AMDGPU-PRO for Mesa

Quoting: ghemLast I heard Valve was not a publicly traded company, so no stockholders to worry about. Another of the reasons I really like Valve.Quoting: Whitewolfe80People fail to realize that Valve is in for the long term (I know, not a popular notion these days with shareholders impatient to get their 300% ROI in 6 months).Quoting: ghemAwesome news <3Aww thats cute you think Steam machines are still a thing
I sense an AMD APU based Steam Machine in a not so distant future :woot:
People also fail to realize Steam machines are not only there to protect Valve's market against microsoft, it's equally a tool to grab market share from consoles.
And no Steam Machines are not dead.
Valve did launch them because it was be the only way to actually work out in the open and to generate an initial interest so as to get things going.
Currently, they're doing all the required, laborious work on the ecosystem: removing roadblocks (AMD drivers), improving the experience (Steam controller, BPM), pushing Vulkan.
Though they still are lagging severely behind in the video department (Netflix, Youtube, etc.)
Only when the ecosystem is ready will it be the time for a big push.
Tough I don't really have a clue as to how to do that.
Release a standard, officially endorsed Steam Machine?
Release a new Valve game with a temporary SteamOS / Linux exclusivity? (I know they don't like exclusive games, but who knows)
They pushed Steam by making it a requirement for Half-Life but they can't do the same with SteamOS because it would be too intrusive for the user. So I wonder how they would entice people to switch, how they would differentiate themselves in the eyes of the average consumer.
What could you do on a Steam machine that you wouldn't be able to on a windows PC or a console? Or that you would be able to do in a better or different way?
So far, I only see the Steam controller, but I wonder if that's enough
