Quoting: Linuxwarper

Quoting: GuestUh no, the AAA games we have on Linux were not for charity or good will, we have proof that the work done releasing for and supporting Linux was compensated for.

Fact is if Linux was profitable for triple A and indie AAA (as Ninja Theory calls it), then we would see more than two AAA games for Linux at E3. One of them, the Borderlands DLC isn't even confirmed, I just included it just because Liam implied it would come because of Aspyr. So tell me again if Linux is profitable:
where is Ashes of Singularity. It's been two years. Where is Doom 2016? The port is basically done. Do you really believe those in charge of Doom would not port it to Linux if they could make more money?
Just because Linux has AAA games it does not prove that it's sustainable business as a whole. The sooner you realize that the sooner Linux gaming will be better because of it.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe rest of what he said is pretty frightening though. He seems quite definite that Linux gaming is shrinking over time. This over a time period when on a technical level, near as I can figure out Linux has been significantly improving as a gaming platform.
We may need Proton, and Stadia I guess, more than I thought.

It seems quite evident to me. With some exceptions and indies Linux isn't profitable.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'd certainly love to see that Windows 7--> Linux migration scenario materialize. But I've seen a couple of other "This MS screw-up should drive people our way" events that never worked out, so I dunno. Time will tell.

I think for that to be effective couple things needs to be in order: anti cheat (EAC and BattleEye), even more driver improvements and gamers on Linux doing free ad campaign for Linux.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPToo bad, really. I doubt Canonical will stick with their decision, since Valve not moving away from 32bit pretty much guarantees most gamers won't use newer Ubuntus any more.
Seems like we will have to drag along the 32bit legacy even longer. *sigh*

Quoting: BeamboomOk, so how does this work exactly? Do you need a bluray-drive in yor PC and then your PS3-games are firef up from the drive like a PS3, or is anything special needed to be done to transfer the game to the hard-drive?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThe last time I was unable to boot my machine with the driver 430.14 ¬¬
I hope this time the driver works... But, you know the Ubuntu ppa guys..

Quoting: ShmerlFor the reference, GOG version of Bioshock Infinite doesn't work in stock Wine, but works in Wine staging (you also need xact override, since staging builds disable faudio).

Quoting: drmothYessss! Played the PnP game, hopefully this turns out to be good. Also hope we get Bloodlines 2! Bring on the Vampires...

Quoting: MekaDragonOk Valve, you know what to do.

Quoting: 14How are you re-using one source for multiple games? The Windows version has a way to stream whatever is full-screen. Are you changing the properties of the source every time you start a new stream or recording?

EDIT: I suppose you might be capturing the entire screen, which I prefer to avoid I guess.

For our weekly gaming stream, I'm using one scene, but added each game separately as a source. If the game is not running, it doesn't matter, that source is just not shown or transparent. The first time setup is a bit annoying, but after a while you have all games added and it's just working then.

But looks like there are no Linux builds for OBS 23.1 yet? The homepage states 23.0.2 as latest version for Linux.

The latest report shows that 1,119 titles are now class as playable, up from 1,081 reported the month before.

Very nice Emulator, but what hardware config do you need to play this 1,119 games in a fluid way on Linux?

Quoting: LeopardTell that to GOG before bashing Steam fam ?

Never saw such kind of issue with GOG, so leave your irrelevant comments out of the thread please.
