Quoting: Purple Library Guy(barring issues like not feeling like spending money on support)

Unfortunately, I think that too often that is the primary issue (it's no secret there were Linux builds of Doom, not to mention some of the Blizzard games when Sam Lantinga was there).

Quoting: Purple Library Guyaround how many PS3 titles are there, anyway?

Wikipedia says 1442 on disc:

Seems like an odd combo; I would think most players would want mostly one or the other of the football/soccer, or the adventuring. Can a single game really pull off both aspects well, without frustrating players?

Quoting: GuestThe problem with the Distro identification is that you'll need to pasted you're Steam Systeminfo and sometimes it just sais "Linux 4.x" on various distributions.
openSUSE did as well (now it reports themselves properly as openSUSE) not sure if this was caused by the Distro or by Steam.

Steam uses LSB to determine the distro, and falls back if that's not installed. On Fedora, "sudo dnf install redhat-lsb-core" was enough to get it showing correctly. The "redhat-lsb" package pulls in tons of other dependencies, including qt3, which is why I had removed it previously...

Quoting: SalvatosI feel like they seriously missed an opportunity here by not making the fridge say "Put your meat in me" :|

Obvious joke is obvious?

Quoting: einherjarIt's some kind of "half hearted" Linux support.

Quoting: PatolaWhat's the problem with ... Larian Studios (which made Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition for Linux, but not Divinity Original Sin 2)?

It was a quite long delay on the Linux port, which was promised as part of the Kickstarter. I understand it was a good port when it was finally released; haven't gotten around to playing it myself.

Quoting: wvstolzingWait, which '9' did Apple skip over? The pre-unix system was called MacOS 9 (in fact they kind of 'skipped over' *8* by retiring it early)

I thought they skipped from 8 to OSX, and then grudgingly did 9 since OSX was still buggy, but wikipedia tells me I am misremembering. Oops. :dizzy:

Quoting: mylkaDX11 will die with win7 (i know win7 will die slowly)

Windows 8.x is stuck at DX11 also (I didn't realize even Vista got it):

So it's going to be around longer than that (even if Win8 wasn't as popular).

Quoting: Purple Library Guyhang on a minute, was there a Windows 9? I don't even remember.

M$ skipped over 9, just like Apple. Also just like Apple, they are saying they will keep updating 10 for the foreseeable future (meanwhile, we got X11 for decades, lol! I remember there was a proposal for "Y", but then it went the other direction, with "W"ayland).
