Quoting: HadBabitsIt just straight up wiped a lot of my games; I check the game folder and it's empty :C Fucking weak, man. I just turned off the beta, now I'm too scared to switch it back on.

Same here, although the games are still on the drive, but just not listed in the launcher... Seeing if going off beta works right now. Please remember to file the bug!

Quoting: GuestThere is no notable performance boost, it just provides fixes to common issues that would prevent a game from loading so that the user doesn't have to faff with those manually. I think I read somewhere that it also fixes things like the way water looks in Ark but I can't speak to that as I don't play the game

Ok, bizarre. I've never had trouble loading anything on any distro I've played. Seems like a lot of effort for little return...

I continue to be more than slightly confused as to why this project is of concern to any of us not on Solus or Clear Linux... Can someone explain this to me?

Quoting: PatolaIt's not an AAA with visuals like Star Wars Battlefront II

And that's a great example of the opposite, actually. Despite jaw dropping visuals, I don't find the EA BFII that enjoyable to play. I actually vastly prefer the 2005 BFII, which I think has near perfect gameplay. That, and the modded and updated maps and characters that users create make that game a blast even 14 years later...

Quoting: aristoriasOh, the admin believes he can define what is rude and which opinion is necessary and which not

Well, yeah, it is his site...

Quoting: aristoriasI still do have an issue with all the trash games if you like it or not and this one is for sure nothing that will even get attention in magazines.

Ok, sigh, I'll bite. Off beat, indie games are what we generally get on Linux, save a rare AAA title here and there. They're often quirky, not trashy. One of my favorite games of anything right now is a solo-developed, indie game I play on Proton called "Clone Drone in the Danger Zone." Its graphics look like they're out of the mid-90's, but I could care less. It's a blast. Certainly not one the "magazines" would focus on (and who's read a physical gaming magazine in the last 15 years?).

If big time, AAA coverage is what you're looking for, go choose a different platform and haunt the forums over at PCGamer or Kotaku. <Troll feeding mode off>

Quoting: liamdaweI was wondering how long it would be before something like that happened, it was obvious once Unity purchased them that's the way it would be going.

And one could argue, with their subsidies, Epic wants their store to be the platform the Unreal engine...

Quoting: NeverthelessIt appears to be an anti-competitive ploy. They now own a streaming service...

If that's the reason, then I think protecting the streaming service will most likely hurt the rest more than it helps.

Wait, what streaming service does Unity own/have, or is this all about future potential?

Somewhere out there a dev is thinking, "What hasn't been simulated in a game yet that I can do? Farms, hospitals, pizza joints, tropical republics, theme parks, airports, trains... They've all been done! And now ski resorts!" We need a companion Sim Ice Rink DLC add on...
