I Insta-buy it. I have some bugs, which all are listed in "Bugs and Issues - report them here" topic in discussions on steam, but it is first day and it's excellent game.
New game and my GPU is "slightly" overkill :-D Good to see.

Liam, can you please try new interview with him after month or two? I'd like to know linux/windows sales ratio and there can be more interesting info, thanks.

Headcrab mod. The first think that came to my mind.

As I've said before - Linux sales have decreased annually the past 5 years. Both in relative and absolute numbers. It makes [zero] business sense to support it unfortunately. :(

Clearly, if they port it, they releas it. Google, this is your chance to make linux gaming better. If they port it for stadia, we get more games on linux...

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: GuestIt's been almost a year since Proton came out (August 2018).
Where is this fabled growth in market share? Did we even reach 1% of Steam users?
The only thing Proton is doing is strengthening the position of Direct X as the only viable APIs in PC games development, no need for SDL, Vulkan and so on... there is Proton after all!

A few things to note, Proton has been "out" for nearly a year, but it's still very much hidden on Steam. Unless you're going looking for it, you don't really know it exists. It still has a lot of work ahead of it right now, it's early days. If anyone seriously expected a shift in behaviour in less than a year, they're not being realistic in any way.

OK then, one year is not enough... we'll have this discussion next year then!

Quoting: liamdaweAs for your other bits, well, Vulkan is needed for a big part of Proton remember, so that makes no sense. SDL is also used a lot outside of Linux FYI.

Yes, Vulkan is needed for Proton... and ignored by PC developers* as there is no need for it if you only target Windows.
Yes, SDL is doing fine in the Nintendo Switch for example... and ignored by PC developers* as there is no need for it if you only target Windows.

Proton is doing great in confirming that, as a developer, you just need to target Windows.

You need compare vulkan with DirectX 12. Game devs are relatively conservative and development of a game can be work for years...

I don't think that No tux no bucks can be effective for most titles. Some Indie developers see lower concurency on linux. For them it is effective policy, but for AAA not right now. Right now there is game changer in production. Google Stadia. They need port it, they need support it on google's debian. With stadia titles there is posibility to change their minds with No tux no bucks, but it cant be only some of us, we need majority of linux gamers and it may not be enough. I really hope fore ID, and nonofficiali supported linux build...

My personal position on this: I prefer games with linux support, or at least with vulkan renderer but with exeption of some win games like frostpunk, or shadow warrior 2.

For what i realy hope is, one day linux games without windows build runned on windows inside their WSL as counterpart of our wine/proton.

Thanks for the kind words, turning it up enough to hear it properly was quite painful on the ears with all the banging and background noise. I thought people would appreciate it though :)

I also thank you for the transcript. English isn't my first language, witch must by obvious from my grammar and without transcription i can have problem with understanding.
