Quoting: GuestYou cannot expect game devs to be able to jump in and fix bugs in Unity. That is like expecting everyone who can drive a car to be a mechanic. It simply does not work that way. You also cant expect them to delay their major sales platform for the minor ones. It wont happen.
You are right. We seen same thing with Everspace, they delayed Linux release because of UE4 bugs. Yet somehow people praise Everspace developers and hate Garry. Why is that? Proper communication is the key.

If, for example, Linux ports of TW2 would be released in the same way (with proper message about initial quality of the port, under alpha/beta branch, etc.) there would be much less backlash. However, since there was no such communication, Linux gaming community had it's very own "Batman: Arkham Knight" moment.

Again, what is similar in all three cases? (Rust, TW2, Batman: Arkham Knight) Lack of proper communication about quality of the port. And it have nothing to do with engine bugs, port bugs, game bugs and especially - it have nothing to do with community. Lack of proper communication is only publisher/developer fault.

Quoting: antisoldon't expect the support to be super fast. If it is super-fast, say "wow, that was super fast! Thanks so much!" (Hi, Running With Scissors!)
Yeah, fast support is rare and in my opinion should be rewarded (I bought two additional copies of Mini Metro because of fast issue workaround from developers).

Quoting: KimyrielleNo matter how many devs they throw at it: On the NVidia end, people always will have to use the proprietary drivers, unless some sanity returns to NVidia management (which is highly unlikely), no?
Or at least some sanity returns to people who use Nvidia's hardware, which is possible, in my opinion.

Quoting: GuestAnother thing we desperately need is professional software the likes of AutoCAD and such, especially with Vulkan finally here! There are also many users that have to use those programs and software for their professions.
There is BricsCAD that aim to be drop-in replacement for AutoCAD, from complete DWG support to similar shortcuts and CLI.
