The Witcher 3 in Wine, since now it's very playable.



I'm gradually exploring Velen ("No man's land" ).

I'll wait for the GOG release.

I skipped this one, since it became the victim of lack of Galaxy for Linux. Developers should have worked better on keeping it optional.

For Mesa, you can use this freeze prevention patch [External Link].

So the wine fix for the freeze bug is not in yet?

No. The variant that I made (based on Samuel Pitoiset's Mesa patch) is a hack, not a proper fix. It injects an extra varying shader of none are detected. I suppose the proper fix would be to never end up in situation when there are zero varyings to begin with. Apparently Wine developers didn't figure out yet when it happens.

Messy communication. At least they didn't cancel it... yet. I hope it will come out.

Quoting: legluondunetAnd what about the linux game sales on GOG?

They aren't public, so there is no data to evaluate. Humble Bundle have public stats. Steam for the reference have no sales stats either. Their survey is not sales data.

Quoting: mcphailErm, I hate to break it to you, but Kickstarter has nothing to do with investment. "Backers" do not get shares in the company or profits. It is only a preorder mechanism disguised as an investment to circumvent expectations of a guaranteed product at the end of the process. It is preordering made worse.

That's because you understand investment in terms of shares. Crowdfunding is an investment, but not in your regular corporate understanding. Backers enable the project, and their dividends is the creation of the project itself (and depending on their tier, the final product for free later).

Pre-orders on the other hand don't enable anything, they are usually done for already nearly completed project, so it's just an interest free loan that developers take from customers. That's the key difference.

GOG release article should mention that if they are honest. Often they let it slide silently, which I don't like at all.

I think people should stop paying attention to Steam survey. Its usefulness is close to zero.
