Quoting: EhvisI have to say that all the Borderlands games have a huge amount of replayability, without needing any "procedural generation" stuff.
I suppose it does still have procedural guns.

The Linux Civilization VI patch with cross-platform multiplayer hit a bug, going back to approvals this week
28 Aug 2018 at 7:59 am UTC

Quoting: TheBardThey are pushing windows developpers to use cross-platform technologies such as Vulkan.
I don't know why devs don't already. Vulkan is required for the super popular Nintendo Switch, so even if their mainline is Xbone/PS4, surely they should all at least have a bit of Vulkan going on the side.

Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port
24 Aug 2018 at 6:28 pm UTC Likes: 13

With people now being able to buy and play (many) Windows games on Steam so easily, these teasers are not going to do Feral any favours.

Feral - just say what the port is so people know whether to wait.

Many of us make a point of buying in such a way that the porter is guaranteed to get something out of it. If we buy a non-native game now, sure it gets flagged as a Linux sale to the publisher, but when a native port comes out later, Feral get nothing out of it.

Re the banning. I can also confirm that at least Overwatch has no problem with that. Plus it runs great.

What are you playing this weekend?

Since Overwatch is having a free weekend, I thought it a good opportunity to give DXVK a spin. It works rather well. I'm impressed.

Silent switches? Nooooo, when I type I want it to sound like a herd of stampeding buffalo.

Stonehearth for Linux is cancelled five years after a successful Kickstarter

Ahh yes, confirmation bias.

No, when a crowdfunded project fails to deliver, it's not a negative on the whole concept. Personally I have had very few crowdfunding disappointments.

That said "We’re going to cut this feature" ?? Seriously, an entire platform for which you had a stretch goal is a "feature"? An fov slider is a feature. A button that spawns a dozen dancing gnomes is a feature. A port is not a "feature".

Open source game engine 'Godot Engine' to get an impressive third-person shooter demo

Quoting: EhvisLooks very good! But does it have a BR mode? :P
Yes! You and 49 other people all play the demo separately and the last one to get bored and leave is the winner.

Quoting: yar4eIn case they'll not port it to Linux we have WINE + DXVK ;)
Yes, but we should only pay if the hard work is made by the developer...
No, you should pay if you play it.
I might get lots of hate, but I don't think that developers want my money if they don't offer version for my operating system.
Solution: Don't play it.
