It's not my favorite Assetto Corsa, but would definitively buy this one!
(Next to Rise of the Tomb Raider... hint hint ;))
PS: Best F1 simulation regarding handling/realism is still Ferrari Virtual Academy imho, from the makers of Assetto Corsa.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Judging by the website i would say that yes the DLC was the west norwood project.mmh, what a fool I'm to develop high hopes for Rise of the Tomb Raider.. Though happy for the people that waited for this DLC.

Maintaining a distribution is a lot of work, far more than 20 years ago. I'm much in favor of combining human resources into a few distributions, than having lots of understaffed ditro flavors. I'm sure Ubuntu's move with be very healthy for the Gnome project and lots of improvements will arrive to due more users and more people to contribute.
I know of course that Ubuntu and Fedora/CentOS aren't perfect but let's improve there instead of reinventing the wheel somewhere else.
PS: Dear reader, I'm in no way want to start a war about which distribution is the best, please replace Ubuntu/CentOs/Fedora with Arch, Gentoo or whatever fits your views better. My point is really just about fragmentation and to much things trying to solve the same problem. A little competition is good, but the fragmentation we have now serves no one imho.

Quoting: appetrosyanBut if you were to merge every other distribution into those narrow categories, you'd have a disaster. Arch is built in a very different way: it can't merge into Red Hat, because their entire ideology would be scrapped or lost. Same with Slack and Gentoo.Well, I don't want to merge, I would like distro's like arch or others to vanish from the mainstream distro's and have their users and developers/maintainers switch to Ubuntu or Fedora/CentOS ;)

PS: That said I'm really glad to see Ubuntu switch to Gnome again, to get rid of some fragmentation in the Linux Desktop world. We would be much stronger if 95% of all users would use either CentOs/Fedora or Ubuntu (or in other words: Debian or Red Hat based distro's).

Quoting: appetrosyanWhat I'm most afraid of, is that there's simply not enough of us to justify having Feral doing any work...That is indeed the question, right? Looks like a turning point at the moment. Our situation has that much improved in the last years that it feels like either we had the tip and the market is now satisfied or that we are at the beginning of seeing Linux to grow to a serious gaming platform.

This combined with the general situation of more support costs on Linux due to much higher hardware and software fragmentation would be my reasoning for not bringing Bioshock Remastered to Linux. But this is just speculation from me. Would be nice if we would at some point hear Feral's actual reason for this business decision.

Quoting: liamdaweI imagine most Mac gamers used Windows for years before getting a Mac too.I would say there are in relative numbers less Mac users with a Windows past (or present) than Linux users, surely in absolute numbers. But we can agree to disagree here ;)

PS: Regarding the article, note that "X-Com War of the Chosen" now has two items on the radar too, both Linux and Mac are in "Very soon". Guess we have also witnessed an overall update of the radar. ;)

Mac is I guess differently due to much higher volume in absolute numbers and because most (or lesser) Mac users don't have a dual boot past.

Quoting: liamdaweThe fact is though, I want Bioshock Remastered on Linux and I will repeatedly make it known :)If I were Feral I would think twice if I would start a port of Bioshock Remastered to Linux too. The original Bioshock is rather old. Back in the days even I had a dual boot system with Windows. There I played the original game and thus wouldn't purchase it again, even remastered, considering other games currently available for purchase. I could imagine that a lot of Linux people would decide like me and actual sales of a port would mostly be out of sentiment only. To low I guess for justifying the costs of a port.

Quoting: liamdaweDo note I didn't say anywhere this teaser is delayed for us ;) only that Mac is getting whatever it is first.Yes, your wording were very carefully, though "might be encountering problems" might imply "they might experience a delay" ;)

Talking about a delay without a baseline planning is rather speculative. Eventually the Linux port is exactly on track, but the Mac port is progressing much faster than initially expected :)
I don't mind waiting at all, I prefer quality above quantity.
(Hopefully it's indeed Rise of the Tomb Raider ;))
