Quoting: JahimselfAgreed. That's why I empty my wallet on linux ports and decide to not pick anymore game that has not linux support. I have been pleased by most ports despite sometime slight performance drop (the games are still fully playable without any bug so far). I can make graphical concessions, especially since the ports are getting better and better, sometimes even beating windows. We all are the actor of the future, not like superheroes at all, but simply as a wallets. That's how we are considered by major companies but also by politicians. Then if we are to be considered as such, the only way we can make things change, is to spend our money on product and companies that seems ethical and fair to us. Should I be tempted to buy rainbow six siege, forza horizon 3, battlefield 1? all protected with drm and sold at the highest prices in companies that consider stealing private data, specs sofwares.. all day long as a due for them.

It is not so easy, because nowadays we put our desire above anything else, and most of people will tell that they don't care about their private datas, and sometime that no such things as privacy should exists (social networks...). But as a translation of these big companies to the real world, would they accept to have someone in their house with the keys, recording everything and being there all day asking you questions about what you are doing, why are you doing it, when are you going to make love (How can we as editors minimize that time spent in bed in order to have more game time, that's the kind of questions discussed at the top of data studies)... I don't think that many will tolerate it, but they do tolerate it everyday in order to play the game made by these editors.

Will people accept to have less games, or restrict their windows buy at least to companies who does not behave like that? It is hard, games are a hobby, and people don't want to bother any question nowadays. Our lives are enough busy all day long. I can understand that choice. Also I don't know if they realise what it will mean for them in the future.

If not, what alternatives will they have? With only one choice monopoly platform who has all the right to behave disgustingly towards our privacy. In few years the bank account will be automatically debiting every month. I am quite sure many have noticed the side effects of windows 10. The OS quickly control over every action or tweaking done on the os, and put the shape wanted differently every 4months, with other problems incoming and not the slightest will to improve user experience.

In think it is in the interest of everyone to support linux gaming, and then to buy as much ported game as possible, even if you are on windows. How many games everyday on TV or in the shops are branded "PC", while it means "windows exclusive" (linux is also PC).

Sorry for the long answer.

Exactly. I no longer pay to support devs or publishers that only code for Windows. I just support games that run on Linux (usually this also means they are multi platform).

Also stopped pre ordering games. Even if the Linux port comes out later, that's when I buy it. Don't want my sales to count for Windows when I ain't even gonna run it on that platform.

I think both Feral and Aspyr port different kinds of games tbh. Companies can exist in the same industry and yet target an independent segment of the market.

Sean Bean says that if dogs do not go to heaven when they die, he wants to go wherever they go when he does.

That alone, makes it worth buying. Haha.

That's quite a mess of a name. Looks like a clone from Windows version without simplifying it.

There's no need to break what already works. But the beauty of symbolic links exists on Linux, so you can literally make a shortcut to that with a single letter if you wanted to.

So anyone has any idea what "Depth Charge" is gonna be?

Has it someone running on arch? I'm stucking at the intro and finally it crashes.

We had it running just fine on Arch Linux (unsupported) so we know it works even if we don't support all the possible edge cases.

Try using the launch option --system-asound in Steam client, we added this as it helps on some systems (including Arch) that have issues due to system / Steam runtime conflicts. :)

Runs perfectly on base arch (mine wasn't installed through Antergos or stuff like that).

Runs really well even on older cards though. I get between 30 - 60 with everything maxed out on a GTX 670 FTW+ (usually hovers around the 40 - 50 mark).

Love it.

My only gripe with PoE is no cloaks on Linux. They used Windows only middleware. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake this time.
