Quoting: CorbenYep, I was referring to Ashes of Singularity. Their thread [External Link] has now 61 pages :O. Was it enough?

I think it was, if I remember correctly. But I didn't follow it closely.

Quoting: CorbenWhich other game wanted to have a +1 thread for Linux recently, to see the demand? How did that turn out?

Other Side Entertaintment studio (developers of Underworld Ascendant) made a poll on their own site, but before making any promises. And after feedback, they included Linux in their crowdfunding goals. Recently, Oxide Games made one for Ashes of Singularity.

Quoting: LinasDoes not necessarily mean that Linux is canceled, but that it has been reduced in priority in favor of some contractual obligations they need to meet.

I don't mean the difficulties, but the way they are handled, especially communication.

This sounds unprofessional to me.

Another delay. I hope it won't end up being vaporware like Shadow Warrior 2.

Quoting: beniwtvCan confirm it runs on AMD Mesa GIT on my RX 480 - although I had to upgrade to LLVM 5.0 (somebody else already mentioned this here). Really cool :)

Can you please communicate this to developers, and tell them it's good enough to remove beta status? Hopefully they'll release it on GOG with that.

Quoting: MblackwellI hate to get into the weeds a bit but at a certain point it's just semantics since you could copy the files out if there's no DRM on them and back them up yourself. GOG also isn't DRM free by your logic because it requires you to have a valid account with a purchase license and to log in to their servers to download the game and any patches.

You use some limited definition of DRM that doesn't include installation (why so?), also you confuse DRM with authentication i.e. an account. Both of those are wrong. Account doesn't make it DRM, but lack of installer / package that you can legally back up, does. To put it very shortly, DRM is an artificial restriction on what you can with your digital goods do after purchase. So let's make it clear, backing up something from Steam to work around their lack of DRM-free package, violates their TOS already.

Quoting: rapakivyou understand well, thats right, linux steam version at the moment is DRM free

That's incorrect. Installation itself is part of being DRM-free. Steam doesn't offer DRM-free packages / installers. So everything there has DRM.
