So that shows how beautiful GNU/Linux is.
No one can lockdown this system.
MS had their eyes opened wide at Windows 8 era.
MS: I'm producing this system and everythings runs on it. All software , games etc. Yet we're only selling licenses but with percentage wise ; these scumbag companies making much more money with less effort on our very own system. Our Windows is just a tool for them so if i start to unify all those services on my systems store ; i can make much more "easy" money. Let's change our way to rather than being monopol on OS wise , being monopol on services wise.
If this happens and Valve acquired by Microsoft ; i will consider to buy a PlayStation for gaming and stop gaming on pc.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleDisgusting part : Four years.Quoting: LeopardNo, it's just because people backing the KS were promised DRM free versions, so this is just them delivering on that. Nothing disgusting.Quoting: VodkaChickenUgghh , disgusting practices.Quoting: Leopard2020 : It is still coming...Kickstarter backers get a GOG key as a reward. It's like four years late but at least they finally delivered that.
One thing to note ; i don't understand why they are referring releasing a GOG version as a reward?
People are buying it from there , you are not giving it away this game on there. You're just putting your build to another store ; at a price.
Reward term is irritating.

Quoting: constDidn't know of this games, looks kind of interesting.1- ) Don't buy a game until it released on Linux , if you want to help Linux gaming scene.
It's great that they want to release for linux. Thanks for making me aware.
I'll go buy it now. Will use the link in the article, hoping they give you some of the revenue for promoting the game.

Nvidia has a massive R&D budget for gpu's while AMD hasn't. They simply lagging one generation behind on watt-performance.

Quoting: ShmerlFor achieving that ; AMD needs better watt per performance which i don't think it will happen any time in five years.Quoting: LeopardX will be with us for a long time , i'm sure.It will be, but for a different reason. Because some games are tied to X. And as you said, XWayland will address those.
Reasons : Nvidia ( because of majority )
Not mature
Current games needs a mid-solution , Xwayland
And Nvidia's majority will diminish, at the rate of people upgrading their GPUs, which is in several years.

BATTLETECH will only be coming to Linux post-launch, along with other features

Probably they're assuming there is a Galaxy Client for Linux.

Quoting: Avehicle7887Yeah , i think they just made this statement generally , not specific to Linux.Quoting: LeopardWas about to say this myself. Without Galaxy on Linux how are GOG player supposed to play with Steam ones? (unless Harebrained is hosting their own servers).They've mentioned that players on both GOG and Steam versions will be able to play friends and join public games from their game client.Well , you can't on GOG version because there is no platform equality on GOG.
Theirs may have been a blanket statement without knowing Galaxy on Linux is missing.

GOG version will have multiplayer but via Galaxy Client.
Since there is no Galaxy Client for Linux (available for Windows and MacOS) , you won't be able to play multi. That isn't the case with Steam though. Steam is available on Windows , Linux and MacOS.

Quoting: GustyGhostI think you misunderstood what i was saying.Quoting: LeopardA general tale of warning against relying on Steam multiplayer integration. This vendor lock in trap has prevented some number of titles such as Disco Dodgeball from being brought to GOG due to complications with multiplayer compatibility.They've mentioned that players on both GOG and Steam versions will be able to play friends and join public games from their game client.Well , you can't on GOG version because there is no platform equality on GOG.
