Quoting: LakortaWhile they're not as committed as other companies (e.g. Valve) to supporting Linux (see GoG Galaxy) they do support Linux (During the "pay a few bucks and get a random game" they gave refunds to Linux users if they got a Windows game. There are also several reports of them helping developer porting or packaging their games for Linux). Also I do respect their stance on DRM. So I wish them all the best, would be sad if they had to close their store.

Scale of budgets though Valve has billions they can throw at any project and never ending money tree and near domination of the pc gaming market and their comittment to Linux is a self preservation one not for a love of linux, in case MS brings back the embrace extend extinguish policy again. CDPR operating budget for gog is probably less than a 1/4 spends on linux.

Quoting: scaineEAC compatibility is the last big milestone, at least for the games I want to play - games like Vermintide 2, Strange Brigade and Paladins.

Overwatch will do me nicely for the moment however.

there is a lot to do.

DX11 will die with win7 (i know win7 will die slowly) and DXVK will be useless for new games. the next big milestone for valve is, to make developers use VULKAN and of course fix the uplay and other 3rd party launcher things

With the exception that games studios still make games that use direct x 9 features.

I am glad more people are trying out linux we need more titles to sustain that growth but for right now Linux has either the native games i play or have near or good enough windows performance. If valve stay true to that and continue to fund dxvk and proton/wine develoment and the news that valve are talking to battleye people to get a work around for steam play good times ahead.

Quoting: GuestVery nice, less crap to clutter the store. Maybe visual novels can be next? :P

Oh if you ban the fap games you'll get the extreme nerd rage from people claiming they have deep narrative strength and gameplay.

Quoting: Guestassassins creed III works flawlessly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMSGD3T9R50 [External Link]

I wonder if the UPlay fixes will allow Watchdogs 2 to work!

Assassin's Creed II still can't install -- I mean, it gets stuck at the disk space allocation phase, before uplay can even do anything. Weird.

AC2 lutris script works i used it less than three days ago, there is are some graphics options that youll need to turn off in order to make it full screen but they are things like motion blue which makes me heave when its on anyway but you're mileage may vary.

Quoting: lejimsterI used to be a big Epic fan all the way back to Epic Pinball and Jazz Jackrabbit through to UT2004. Then they quickly lost me as they branched out.

I don't have a problem with them providing their own store, but they don't care about Linux, say what you want about Valve... But they have gone above and beyond to support Linux and made it an actual alternative to Windows.

I won't be buying anything off Epics store unless they become Linux friendly.

I just cant see it happening the updates to the unreal engine trickle onto the linux build and support is nowhere near as good as it is on windows. Epic back catalogue as you said is impressive Jazz the pinball games and unreal but Gears was good but they did a good job getting a good price from ms because the story had nowhere to go after gears 3. They sold Bulletstorm and Shadow complex was okay but there main game is really not for me if it werent for the engine i wouldnt care about them at all

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Nice dig but thanks i have a pretty good life but besides which a lot of the things people claim they dont have the time to do is because they are making time to do bullshit things like get shit faced and do drugs i dont do either of those things.

Woken up by crying (every single day), bring my two (lovely) children to kindergarten, drive to work, full-time job, drive back, care for children, eating, maybe an hour of getting something done or relaxing, sleep, rinse and repeat.

I wish I'd still have the time to do some drugs... :D

Also there are those other things...
...like socializing with friends, (outdoor) sports... generally having a life.... :D

Captained Rugby team for fourteen years a married i have a child i have my own house i had plenty of fun in my time but i also play games its my hobby its what i do to relax you can stop trying to be an edgelord now youre failing.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80I dont know about you guys but i have reached a point where i have played all the games in the back catalogue i am ever going too I have 425 steam games I have played 200 of them i have no interest in playing the others i got them because cheap deals and humble. I am waiting for a game to come along and wow me and so far nothing does, everything feels so the same.

Hmmm... I would like to have the time - all those kinds of time - you have for playing games... ^_^
