I'm looking at that ownership data and start wondering about why they keep still saying this:

Still pretty much the same as before honestly. I mean, the blunt harsh truth is the 2-3% of sales really doesn't make much of a difference.

83,876 ± 8,990 owners

Quoting: lejimsterWhen Vulkan was originally announced I was really happy to see it come to Apple and Linux. With Apple Mac having a larger market share (gamer wise) as of right now, it seemed a great thing. Then they had to go their own way with Metal. I just don't understand the thinking, they have made it harder to bring more games to their platform and potentially set Vulkan adoption back at the same time.

So this is a good development, and I hope porters/developers just target Vulkan from now on and ignore Metal as much as possible. I wonder what Feral think of this, since they have been working on bringing titles to Apple with Metal support.

Simple Apple plan.

Don't adopt Vulkan , develop Metal.

Why?

Forcing devs to priotirize one platform to another: Android or Ios.

Apple made that mistake back in the days , with having OpenGL ES on Ios while Android has it too.

Apple only cares about Ios now , because people are joining to their ecosystem via Iphone's. Rest are there for milking money , forcing devs to buy Mac's etc.

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: LeopardLinux is really became a complete indie platform.

It hasn't become anything of the sort. Any popular game release on our platform — AAA or indie — makes Linux more attractive for gamers. And that makes new releases more profitable. And you know where that leads.

No , as you can see we are still lacking AAA gaming wise , not on indie gaming.

Linux is really became a complete indie platform.

If Atari can release AtariBox, this will help even more because targeted audience will be more tend to give it a shot to those indies.

Quoting: m2mg2I'm hoping this isn't the shot away from the Feral Radar, but it seems likely as Feral have ported the other Warhammer 40,000 games. I'm hoping for another non RTS game from Feral.

As I wrote pretty clearly, this is not from Feral.

Did you? I'm sorry, I didn't see that. I've read it at least three times and don't see it. Must be going blind, or dumb.

has just been announced by Bulwark Studios and Kasedo Games, it's due this year with Linux support.

Is it not clear enough?

Quoting: holziI own a lot of Paradox Games on Linux and I play them quite often. But on the other hand EU4 Multiplayer was broken on Linux for looooong time, so I always had to play the windows version via wine....

No , problem is not having them or playing them on Linux.

I know so many people ranting about Linux gaming and yet i see them from Steam playing Windows only games. Therefore , they're buying these games on Windows and starting threads on game discussions "port it to Linux." themed.

So as a perspective of a dev ; why should i put effort for a Linux version? You can use Linux and rant about it but eventually you're buying them on Windows.

You're a dual booter too and you're probably have bunch of non Linux games and you keep buying.

Why devs port their games to Linux when even Linux users are buying on Windows? For making someone's dream about " When my library will be equal as Windows one , i will happily ditch Windows " ?

SteamOS didn't turn out to be what we all hoped

Without AAA games and lack of popular games , what did they expect exactly?

I'm on Linux solely 3 years and in these years i saw several things that won't go away:

1-) Lack of AAA , popular games

2-) Windows experience at ease of use wise

3-) Problematic , half assed drivers both from Nvidia ( prop ) both from AMD ( open source and prop)

AMD ones are missing features or performance wise they suck , Nvidia prop driver refuses to happily integrate with Linux in general ( X problems , Wayland problems , DKMS problems , incompatible kernel problems , Prime Sync ( tearing ) problems , half assed laptop gpu support that leads users to either for Windows or accept suffering for getting past Nmi watchdog lockups etc.

Let's face it . With that rate, Linux gaming will only serve as a indie gaming platform ; nothing more.
