It's great to see a native release with ray-tracing after holding out for so long.
I'd like to enter the giveaway too.

Psyonix are ending support for Rocket League on both Linux and macOS (updated)

Quoting: legluondunetFor the moment you can still play this game, why to ask for a refund now?
Wait until you will have a real good reason for asking a refund: if they add EAC protection for example.
That's reasonable and I hope whoever goes that route enjoys it.

There's some speculation of EAC being added. While I don't think that idea has much merit, the point still stands that support has been withdrawn and we're out of luck if something should break. I don't know if refunds would be honoured then, and would rather just jump ship now instead of worrying about such.

The whole ordeal of Psyonix selling out to Epic, the crates and then blueprints nonsense, the worsening server experience, the growing toxicity amongst random players and how Psyonix/Epic are now treating their Linux and Mac customers has all left a bad taste in my mouth.
I think I'm just done with this game and want to move on.

Disappointing. If nothing has changed by the time that final patch has arrived, I'm just going to refund.

Seems like Feral Interactive may have a few surprises for Linux in 2020

I'd love it if they ported Sunset Overdrive, Outer Worlds, Greedfall, Remnant: From the Ashes or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIMO "Open Source" should be split into two new definitions:

Public Source
Libre Source

AFAIK the source code for the Source Engine is Public Source, of course the license is not Libre, and Documentation and Support are not up to the minimum standard most devs would require to bind themselves to selecting it as a fate.

IIRC Unreal 4 Engine is in the same boat, Public Source but not Libre Source
I think the term "Source Available" already exists for this kind of situation.

Quoting: DefaultX-odSorry just bought Shadow of The Tomb Raider, because can't wait no more. But I bought regular edition and when Feral are ready I'll buy the addons
If you want and can wait with playing (maybe also with installing?) for two weeks, Feral should get the money.

This was a fun comment thread to read.

Here's wishing for Iconoclasts.

It seems odd that both the painting and the poem come from people with such similar names:
John Martin
John Milton

Could there be a video game character with a similar name?
