Quoting: amonobeaxIDK if this is important too but NVIDIA released PHYSIX sdk source code on Github

GOL covered that back in March.

The problem I personally have with it is the very restrictive, non-free license.

EDIT: Toned my reply down a bit. I guess I misread the intentions of this article, and went in far too hostile. My apologies.

What many Linux gamers have suggested and what many other Linux gamers have shot down time and time again is now being done by Sony, a major publisher and console manufacturer.

It's was a bad move then, and it is a bad move now. Sony is exploiting the Kickstarter model to abuse it as a marketing tool. This is not good and we should not applaud it. And no, we should not strive to emulate it!

you must also remember that these bigger entities usually answer to investors who care solely about how much they profit from an investment.

Yes, and they are now entirely heaping all the risks of investing on us, while keeping all the benefits and profits. This is a weighted system: entirely good for them, entirely bad for us.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionI don't often read an entire article but after doing so, I wish I could contribute.

I'd also be very happy about any signal boosting and getting the word out more. :)

Quoting: GoCorinthiansBatman Arkham Knight in pre-order with release date dayONE for linux too!

Did you mean to comment in a different article, perchance? :P

Quoting: kalinThere is nothing for abuse

Well, many games can be played without having Steam running. So you could, theoretically, buy the game, install it, copy the game data somewhere else, and then ask for a refund. You get your money back and keep playing the game outside of Steam. Of course, you'll lose features like cloud saves and achievement tracking, but you might not care about those.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I am not advocating that you do this. This would be illegal too.

A games console? Does an original Game Boy count?

Ugh, I hate it.

Another thing I just found out and hate: Enhanced Steam stopped supporting Firefox. 7.3 was the last version for Firefox, the later ones are Chrome-only. Instead, they want to concentrate on an Enhanced Steam standalone application, which just defeats the purpose of Enhanced Steam altogether. Blergh.

Quoting: Feistafter all TBwP would be quite redundant

Well, depends. I thought you meant that as a pun on the IE games not being "true" real-time. :)

Quoting: FeistHowever, I´m hoping that it´s TBwP, like Pillars.

Pillars is Real-Time with Pause, not turn-based. Unlike the Infinity Engine games, combat in Pillars isn't even turn-based under the hood; it's fully real-time.

From what is currently known, Torment: Tides of Numenera will be fully turn-based, like Wasteland 2. But unlike Wasteland 2, combat in Torment is supposed to be mostly optional (at least depending on your playstyle and character). There's nearly always going to be other ways to solve things than through combat.

Huh, I was sure I already played that one on Linux years ago... Or did I use Wine? Or was that in German? Or both?

No.

No. Go away.

Quoting: InsperatusI wanted to wrap myself in this site all cozy and warm

Don't.

Quoting: InsperatusI am now hesitant

Good.

Quoting: Insperatus"gamers are dead"

This is a red herring and you know it. The "Gamers are dead" article was not an attack. And you know it.

Quoting: Insperatusaggressors

Bullshit.

Quoting: InsperatusI guess I'll wait and see.

I'd rather you go away.

Quoting: Insperatuswhat gamergate is

Oh, we do know what it is. A bloody harrassment campaign. The August that never ended.

Quoting: InsperatusIf my post here is seen as antagonistic

Naw, it feels more sealionistic than antagonistic.

Quoting: Insperatusdisliking these politics is itself, political

Oh, wonder, there we actually agree. Curious, because most of the whiny kids on in your hate-group see it differently.
