Quoting: const

Quoting: rafebelmontI understand if they don't want (or don't have the resources) to put more DLC to Linux users. But why drop support entirely?

I don't think they actually want to drop support for the platform entirely. If you read the reply from the developer, you will find that he only mentions no plans for new dlc.

If enough people hint them that the base-game works for some and not for others, they might be willing to do something.
If we start a real flamewar on them they might just block.

Remember these people were really early in the linux game, we definitely owe them some respect for that.

If you look at the game page,you can see they removed SteamOS icon and they removed system reqs for Linux-SteamOS.Only Win and Mac is available.

That is a shame.Users of this game should ask for a refund and note that situation at their ticket.Take your money back.

It seems good,GTX1050 is a good choice.

But 4 gb system ram is absurd,like you pointed out.8 gb should be standart in these days.

Support for M2 Ssd's is also a good feature.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80

Quoting: JanPeople not willing to pay for essential work like converting or partly rebuilding a DirectX-based game for OpenGL or Vulkan and play-testing on several distributions is both sad and frustrating to see.

As long as the attitude of some Linux users (both new and veteran) regarding this topic is not changing, I'm afraid Linux gaming will remain a tiny niche even compared to Mac gaming.

To give you 3 current examples:

1. Aspyr pitched both a Mac and Linux version of Mafia III to 2K. They agreed on macOS, but were not interested in the Linux market.

2. Jonathan Blow released the Mac version of The Witness using the Metal-API a few days ago on the Mac App Store first (self-published), Steam will follow later. Some people on Twitter and I guess reddit asked him for a Linux version. He basically answered "no one would buy them anyway as Braid didn't make any money on Linux".

3. Double Fine released Headlander for Mac using Apple's Metal-API and denied plans for Linux support because Adult Swim doesn't see its viability. The game was built for DirectX and Metal only -- no OpenGL or Vulkan support.

This might change as soon as more companies start to build their games from scratch using Vulkan instead of DirectX 12.

But for the moment, Apple's decision to axe OpenGL and go Metal-only on macOS and iOS hurts Linux gaming more than some people might admit.

A couple of counter points where the hell did you get that information from as i googled that and got nothing are you sure thats real because 2k have been very pro Linux. Point 2 Braid sold badly under linux okay boo hoo maybe it was the length of time it took to get to linux and secondly its not exactly a must play game imo. Double fine abandoning Linux would be a shame but meh can live without more pixel retro indie games.

Secondly why would anyone be happy to pay for a game twice I own it played it and beat it on another platform. When i switched to Linux I made a point to only buy games that are Linux but why should i be financially punished for dual booting back in the day.

He is just making things out of his.... mind.

That is not about api,if a game comes to Linux 2 years later;of course people won't buy it.Because game will be unpopular as the time goes by.

And that 'Braid'. C'mon,it's not a must play game so it shouldn't be surprising.

Quoting: Corben

Quoting: EhvisThey also support Mac (at list with Elite dangerous), which would be a bit of a problem.

I'm not sure, as on Windows they're not using OpenGL as on macOS, but DX11.
But even though their Cobra engine can render in OpenGL, they're not support Linux.

Probably it's just a matter of time, when Elite: Dangerous will be playable in Linux through wine. Either they switch on Windows to Vulkan, or wine supports DX11 good enough to play. Probably the later will happen ;)

Let's hope it will be native on Linux someday,because at this rate Wine through solutions will hurt.Especially on Vulkan supported games.

Quoting: zilotConsidering the main game engines are working on making vulkan available + having a linux port, I expect the vulkan market to grow a lot in the next years. More than DX12 will.
That game developers consider seriously vulkan is an awesome news. Maybe rockstar and blizzard will follow

But that movement must be fast because day by day people are migrating to Windows 10 from previous versions.
What do we have now;Windows 7,8,Linux,Android and Nintendo Switch.But assuming that Windows 10 market share will grow because of lacking security,feature updates at 7 and 8;the real game changer will be the next PlayStation if they decide to use Vulkan.
