Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: AussieEeveeSo if you're using xorg.... you don't get this? I honestly am not sure I understand what this article is saying.
It will continue to work fine with X11 it's not dropping support, but developers using it will see Wayland as the default now.

Quoting: torkel104Ubisoft is a horrible company that abuses its workers and customers alike. Do not support them!
I agree they have abused their staff but then crunch happens in every studio even valve you know back when they had a game development team. The sexual abuse is of course unforgiveable. But ubisoft are far from alone in it basically the only people you would be able to buy games off would be indie devs if you went down that rabbit hole.

CD prokject caught called out for sexual abuse and crunch so did EA ubisoft Epic Blue hole, Activision codemasters and Nordic thq (deepsilver) in fact the only company that hasnt had any scandal that we know of is Microsoft dear god as it come to this that microsoft are the only triple A games studio you can morally buy game off on PC damn what a chain of events. (spoliers it wont matter that Rockstar apparently is so frat boy ish that the toilets at their studio say "chicks" for female employees but hey red dead 2 was great basically morales go out the window if people wanna play it bad enough

Quoting: elmapulits a hack or uplay has some official api? i hope ubisoft/epic dont break thirdy party apps on purpose.
" lots of different emulators and more."
i will pass for emulators, i already use retro arch for it, having 2 solutions would only make things confusing.

do lutris work with controller?
if it works with proton/wine it will work with lutris but you dont need an account to view the scripts for any games you may have and it will tell you

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard

Quoting: ShmerlI don't care for Blizzard, but I agree it's a very bad trend that MS just gobbles gaming companies. And Spencer is probably the reason MS is using DX12 today instead of Vulkan. So I consider MS as pretty hostile to Linux gaming in general.
Well of course MS is pushing DX12 if i were in his position i would be as well get wide spread adoption get a locked in market then when people realize there is nothing else out there you switch the pricing model to licence then you dont have to make another game or product again you buy in the studios. Hell its worked for valve they havent made a game in almost 13 years they rely on licensing and profits from their store. Itsa a very viable if anti consumer business model.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80For me I refunded this it's DHL the simulator your a courier in a fucked Kojima world. It's basically a real life job as you amble from place to place in real time. I got so bored I actually complied a kernel on laptop to pass the time. But am not the biggest fan of kojima work
Interesting. You could not have seen much of the game in the <2 hours you must have played. And about the game being a courier game where you walk a lot - you would have known this already before purchasing.
Yes but youre a courier in New Vegas the difference is that game is interesting.

Does look like the shine is starting to come of cd project red and gog its selection of games is scattered very scattered and the excuse used for no linux version is normally we couldnt get permission for a linux version the fuck its not like your capable/willing to give technical support on it and to be honest on linux we re kind of used to that
