Even though INSOMNIA: The Ark is delayed for Linux, the developer sounds committed to a Linux version

SteamPlay part is the truth.

SteamPlay is there for publishers , devs who never cared about Linux in anyform.

Because they won't care with that market share , AAA's or other games they published will only strengthen Windows platform. That is where SteamPlay aims to break.

When we turn into a profitable market , things will be much more better and there will be no need for SteamPlay except backlog games.

He's not entirely wrong though, if this was a simple hobby project, nobody would fix their drivers for it and Khronos wouldn't even know it exists.
Yeah.

We're thanking you for all your efforts started DXVK , we're thankful for Valve for that kind of adoption comes from Nvidia , AMD and Khronos.

We're thanking him already.

Dev ( Philip Rebohle ) is already saying that getting extensions stuff etc. is all thank to Proton and alike corporate backed projects.

To be fair, it would be rather 'little' if not fo...

No Linux problem but I'm wondering if such games still run under MacOS after Apple completely stops support for OpenGL? It is already discontinued and only a question of time until OpenGL is completely omitted.
It’s not using OpenGL on macOS. Only Linux.
Source or that is just an insight?

Probably no one will ever publish an OpenGL on MacOS again but official confirmation is always good.
Just looking at the system requirements, they’re quite a bit lower than Linux on the hardware side (including supporting intel graphics).

Yet require macOS 10.13.5 (OpenGL hasn’t been updated since 10.9). And metal capable gpus. Nvidia 650m is supported, yet the AMD 6970m is not etc.
Well , supporting much lower specs on Mac side is a must. Most of them running on integrated gpu's. While on Linux land , Nvidia is dominant while AMD comes in second. Just like Windows side. So that is not really related.

However ,you're probably right. Publishing an OpenGL game for Mac would be a ridicilous move , if you also take note they're also updating old titles like CoH 2 with Metal.

The RPG 'INSOMNIA: The Ark' will not be having a same-day Linux release, to be worked on after

Quoting: NeverthelessThe closed beta version works perfectly with Steam Play. So no real problem for me.
That is a problem for me.

People are simply missing point of SteamPlay:

1-) It integrated for bringing huge backlog of people on Linux.

2-) There are some games that needs a much more bigger user base to be porting: AAA games.

Actually , that is meant for bringing people into Linux for little bit closer.

When a game like this ( have possibility for Linux ) got delayed or canceled i would never buy it.

What are you playing this weekend?
