Paradox Believe Great Games Fight Piracy

Back in the day, after Loki died, i used to pirate their selection, because it was the only way to actually get them. Now days it's all about giving the money to the developers who deserve it. Sometimes even if i dont really care to much for the game. It all adds to giving that company more incentive to keep providing us with Native Linux versions of future games. As for this game, i am waiting until my next paycheck, and i will be purchasing this game on steam at full price. (with no prior pirating of this game)

You must be kidding. :D
Haha nope. I have been way involved with Linux for so long. Side by side with Amiga for a long time (Until my system died) R.I.P Amiga. I only learned windows in order to fix it. I get shit from all my friends who want to play games but i cant because i use Linux. I just tell them "hey, all the games i enjoy playing are on Linux, and i wont ever use anything from Microsoft". It's just the way i have been. I like a learning experience more than entertainment. Even today with all these games on Linux, sometimes i just stare at my steam collection, and im like "dont feel like today". This is also goes with me working alot, and always being tired. I know it sucks trying to get more games to come to Linux from stubborn developers, but every time a new one comes out, it's like the most exciting news of the day.

In 1999, i gave up pc gaming to use Linux. I was wanting to Learn the operating system more than i wanted to play games. I had consoles for my gaming fix anyway(which were way more bad ass than these modern day consoles) <3 Sega. Also PC gaming wasn't all that big back then. So just within the last few years, that we started seeing more games flowing to Linux, it has been like a win win for me. I get to use the OS that i cant live without, and also start playing games on it as well. Even if the games are old, they always feel new to me. That is a good feeling.

So yeah sure, i see new games come out that i would love to play so badly on my PC, but they are windows only...but my loyalty to Linux is way more stronger than wanting to play a game on Windows. Games are great entertainment for a while, but using Linux is much more enjoyable to me.

Source Engine 2, Steam Link And More Announced At GDC
4 Mar 2015 at 4:28 pm UTC

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: EikeNo word of SteamOS in the press release...
SteamOS was already announced, you can't re-announce it ;)
I know it's been announced and such, but didn't they also say they wanted to make a feature built into steamos for streaming video from say "Netflix and Hulu", i mean i know we can already do that in a normal install of linux, and also through the browser on the steamOS, but it being part of the actual big picture mode. Also they did make a Music player for it, but didn't they mention they wanted to integrate spotify, and a few other internet radio providers?

News on this stuff would of been nice. I guess time will tell now.

Vulkan Really Is The Official Name Of The Next Generation OpenGL Initiative
3 Mar 2015 at 4:17 pm UTC

Quoting: SkullyJust because it means Volcano, doesn't mean it they did that on purpose. Maybe they picked it cause it sounded cool or something.
Most likely cause it's going to erupt with amazing performance and kill DirectX (we all hope anyway)..lol ;)

I want to see some Leadwerk games come out already. I have been learning how to create my own in Leadwerks, but it's a slow process.
