About Linux games being delayed: A chat with several game developers and porters

Quoting: Seegras
Quoting: LeopardNetmarket Share statics is doesn't mean anything. They're all looking to Steam Survey and that is right thing to do. Not every user play games on Mac and Linux also even Windows.
I actually know casual gamers on Linux that refuse to use steam. They only buy software from humblebundle, gog, itch and so on.
If you look at that way , there are many (posssibly much more than Linux) Windows users who are pirating games or buying drm-free games. That is not a valid reasoning.

Also , are you sure that your friends are 'buying' drm-free games ; right?
Game engine 'Construct 3' has come along well during the Beta

Hmmm, i scored 20.

There are some trolls which they are immortal. I couldn't kill one of them with 20 or 30 shots.

Edit: Last score 33

Quoting: GuestThis will be working just as good in WINE long before they ever release a Linux version.

Vulkan Doom anyone?
Depending on Wine with Vulkan titles is not helpful , just hurts.

Just don't "buy" titles without Linux support.
:huh: Why are you jumping to conclusions? I was only making an observation on the situation.
I never said any thing about buying it because it will play in WINE before we get to see a native release.
No , actually this situation is relevant to all of us.

I've just quoted you because you were the first one on this topic , talking about Wine-Vulkan. It's nothing personal or not towards to you specially.

Quoting: LeopardTo the all developers ; if you don't support Linux ,of course our base won't grow.

Main problem is ; they want to push only Windows for not to spend time with learning new things and platforms. They're totally cool with possible MS lockdown because they will keep earning pennies ; who cares?
To all the Linux users:

Gamedevs (mostly) don't care. They are not releasing software to push a platform. They are releasing software to earn money.
To the some Linux users who doesn't understand:

We are saying that not supporting Linux builds or not intending to support it anytime and then ,making an excuse of 'Linux is not viable' is just ridiculous.

Quoting: Mountain ManIf they had done their job right, they could have had the Linux version out yesterday. When will developers learn that trying back into a Linux port is the wrong way to do it?
But Doom runs better than most ports. Much faster and more stable. And the steam hardware survey identifies wine. But as good as no one plays under wine. Except it is a wineport.

We have to wait, but it could be that with Vulkan simply no more ports are needed. That would be quite great. Perhaps Valve can automatically port the games in the future.

EDIT: The bad thing though is that the publishers do not provide support. But just by not doing this it could be very attractive for them to publish there games with Vulkan. ;)
If you do that ; you will only prove that John Carmack was right.

Yes,it is.

Did you add Padoka Stable Ppa and update your drivers with it?

On Mint,you need to select 4. Level updates to see them on Update Manager.
