Quoting: LeopardPeople on Linux don't buy games

Why do you bother stating such obviously wrong claims? Why are you even here, on a site with pretty much only Linux gamers buying games (with the possibly single exception being you).

I'm here because i'm a gamer on Linux. That's it.

But problem is that ; Football Manager is a PC exclusive game. Means consoles are out. So that is very niche and Linux gamers can/ could mean so much more to them than Linux gamers did to say Rockstar , Epic Games , CDPR and so on.

That is a warning bell.

There is an obvious statement about strategy genre on Linux: it is maybe most represented genre on Linux. Reason is simple. Strategy games are not on consoles because of their nature.

If that also spread to strategy , you can say pretty much Linux gaming took a devastating blow.

SEGA is one of the most Linux friendly publishers , i hope they continue to support.

Makes me wonder where those 417 Linux titles in my Steam library come from. Well, quite a few come from Humble Bundles, but apart from that I've bought 17 games so far in 2018. In they weren't even in the below-one-Euro pricing range: Helium Rain, Factorio, Skyforce Reloaded, RUINER, ROTR, Steamworld Dig 2,...

I'd rather say people on Windows don't buy games. They copy 'em.

Obviously that is not enough when you compare ports cost/ Linux staff cost vs sales.

Congrats for you man

Quoting: LeopardWell. That is ineviateble for all games on Linux.

No, it's really not.

Well , unless company/publisher is just doing Linux version without seeking financial gainings.

Yes, Linux has a small market share and developers aren't going to get rich doing it, however I'm arguing against it being inevitable for all games on Linux, which is complete bullshit.

Since Steam came to Linux in 2013 there's very few games that have actually stopped supporting Linux.

Yes , few actually stopped supporting Linux while most of them didn't even come to Linux at all.

Are you surprised, when people have attitudes like this ;)

What is wrong with my saying anyway?

People on Linux don't buy games

Edit due to misunderstandings:

People on Linux of course buying games. But it seems that is not enough to justify expenses for Linux builds.

Quoting: sonicYou says that is Mesa bug, but from Mesa devs response I am no so sure. And lets be honest, this is mainly caused by the d3d->ogl translation layer.

It is, and the proof is that it does not happen on the Nvidia driver, nor does it happen under MacOS under OpenGL. D3D->GL has nothing to do with it.

That it works on the nVidia driver is proof of exactly nothing. nVidia is known for adding support for broken behaviour and the problem for Mesa here is if they are to be following the OpenGL specifications or if they are to allow nVidia to dictate the OpenGL specifications.

Unfortunately many game devs use nVidia so they don't know that they are not following the specs since it "just works".

Can we stop this please?

Just because of that nonsense attitude , AMD users are still suffering when try to play Dying Light like games.

Is your goal running all games you have without issues as a gamer or caring about driver hacks etc?

Quoting: pbI'm still waiting to be able to play RotTR on SteamOS non-beta. Maybe in 3.0...

Why?

You can play with that update?

Drivers are very up-to-date , kernel is also ok. Even LLVM is in a good shape.

I'm on stable, last time I tried the game said my gfx was not supported. I think stable steamos still doesn't ship vulkan for nvidia.

Game says that if you have a driver older than 396.18 , when that game came out i didn't want to use 396.18 also because it was beta and booted game with 390.48.

It also warned me but i was able to play it anyway.

Quoting: ThePierrasseDoes that include the Season Pass?

I imagine it's just the base game without DLC.

I thought they did an "ultimate edition" myself, or was under that impression, because when I picked it up shortly after getting its linux support it had all the DLC included, didn't buy them separately

Guessing it's different in the monthly version on humble

It should be named as " 20 year celebration pack "
