Quoting: mao_dze_dunOh, for fuck sake, what do you people want? A written statement signed in Tim Sweeney's blood? They're not stopping anything and just being honest about prioritizing Windows over Linux because duh. Being critical of Epic is one thing, but being ridiculous tin foil wearer is just absurd.Yeah, I'm actually surprised Liam got even this much from them. The fact they bothered to address it at all (rather than one big shoulder shrug and a "who cares?") I find the most encouraging aspect of all...
Good for you for owning up the mistake Liam. Also thank you for the new info on the matter.

Regarding the "jet fighter" look of the ships, I was channeling some C64-era Skyfox nostalgia for that...

Quoting: CybolicThis looks quite interesting, but I doubt I'll get it if it isn't released on itch.io or Steam.Just install their launcher to your Steam Client. Problem solved. This degree of Linux support in my mind deserves our support. How many titles do you see with Linux UI elements baked into the game???
With the amount of games available these days, if it's not in my usual game library, I'm sure to forget I ever bought it.

Yeah, I'd agree it's not looking like a HOTAS kind of title :). For an estimated $10, it sure looks like fun, though!

Quoting: kuhpunktOk, so that's interesting, and makes this worth thinking about...Quoting: iiariNot using VR, can I ask a stupid question? Will this system allow you to use VR for existing titles out there (including Proton?), or only for games written specifically for this system?Fully compatible with older VR games.

You can now easily run the Epic Store on Linux with Lutris, Epic suggests applying for a grant

Quoting: AudiI agree. I tried Fortnite on someone else's machine, and I didn't see the appeal at all. Give me Ballistic Overkill any day...Quoting: omer666@epic, look at Quake Champions. That's the kind of games we want to play: Violent, fast-paced FPS. Not some gimmicky nonsense for kids.I agree. In watching videos of Fortnite, it just looks slow and boring. I play Ballistic Overkill. The game is fast paced, fun to play and runs great on Linux.
Crossroads Inn, a fantasy tavern simulator was funded on Kickstarter and it's coming to Linux

DiRT 4 officially released for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Quoting: FredOWhy does Dirt 4, which is a nearly 2 year old game, cost more than Dirt Rally 2 which has just been released. I'll buy this once they've sorted out their pricing. :|Agreed. I love Feral and their work, but the price on this strikes me as a bit dear. I might wait for sale on this one...
Awesome to see another Vulkan port from Feral though - good job!
The Linux port of DiRT 4 from Feral Interactive is releasing March 28th

Quoting: jensMaybe to DR2, and a few other titles. I think Project Cars works with Proton without FFB, but if you run it through Wine FFB works...Quoting: Xpander(sadly FFB doesn't work with proton)Is this meant as a general statement or specific to DR2? I'm playing Assetto Corsa Competizione with Steam Play/Proton and FFB works just wonderfully with my G25.
No Man's Sky runs very nicely on Linux with Steam Play, huge online feature update and VR support coming

Quoting: jens* I still think that Proton users are also the beta testers for Valves upcoming streaming platform, which is absolutely fine for me, win-win for both. I could be very wrong though ;).I think (more like hope?) that you're right as well. A Stadia like streaming service that also happens to include your entire existing library is super appealing to me...
