Quoting: GuestAbout FF… The last decent FF was FF1 anyway :D. It’s the only one I enjoyed (it’s extremely repetitive and unimaginative though).
Well, I wouldn't mind playing native versions of FF1 to FF9 or even to FF12 ( I had fun playing all of them ).

Speculation: BioShock Infinite Might Be an eON port

VP or not VP, eON or not eON, I hope that this game will work on Linux as "good" as on Windows ( or at least close in performance ).

Let's wait :D

Speculation: BioShock Infinite Might Be an eON port

Quoting: afettouhiBioshock Infinite is a DirectX11 game and as far as I know eON only supports DX9. So that seems rather unlikely that the port uses eON technology.
I don't have anything against VP guys ( for Me Witcher 2 works really good, but always could be better ), but I really would like to see native port of Bioshock:Infinite, so this lack of DX11 support from eON keeps my hopes little bit higher.

EDIT:
Quoting: SamsaiAs it happens, person also mentioned that they were in fact working on making eON compatible with DX10 and DX11. We don't know if that functionality is yet in place, but they've at very least thought about it and experimented with it.

Edit: This happened months ago on the IRC channel.
Let me quote Luke Skywalker on this:
Nooooooooooooooooo.....

Quoting: OrkultusSo what happens to all those people who bought it on steam?
They cannot sell it anymore, but those who bought it will still have it in library.

As for Maulbeck let me quote some twitter:

Sadly, it seems that this HAVE to be new motto for Linux Gamers this days :(
Too many, false from get-go promises, to little honesty & accountability.

A Developer Of Unity3D Also Speaks Out About OpenGL

Quoting: SXXThere is a lot of people who don't understand what hybrid graphics is.

They might even updating drivers, but only for AMD/Nvidia and not Intel because they don't even know what integrated graphics is or *THINKS* that every game using discrete graphics. As result many many games keep running on Intel graphics with drivers from 2011 which mean instant crash for OpenGL game. :><:

There is per-game profile for Nvidia Optimus and AMD Dual Graphics, but those mainly for AAA games only and most of indie games will never get such profile.
Sometimes I think that hybrid graphics brought more problems than resolved :/

P.S.
We have to remember that OpenGL for many years was treated like 3rd world citizen.
