Quoting: MadVillainYou could just install windoz as a second OS, you don't even need to activate it.

No, thanks. I'm not interested in that MS spyware.

Quoting: MadVillain
Quoting: ShmerlI don't think Wine will lag. They expect DX11 performance in their translation not to be any worse than their DX9 one. Of course implementing it all is a major task.
Well ok, it's not lagging, it's simply not working)

Not yet, but it's moving.

Quoting: AryvandaarMaybe they are working on adding Vulkan support to their engine.

It's possible for CP2077, but it won't help TW3 already. Because the whole huge amount of their shaders is in HLSL, and translation for that into SPIR-V isn't ready yet.

I'm glad they switched to OpenGL 4.x. Can't wait for UE to start supporting Vulkan already.

GOG will be adding games with virtual items purchases, according to changes in legal agreements

Sounds to me like support for some MMORPG like with in-game purchases (Star Citizen?). Never saw a point for paying for such items with real money. I'd rather buy another game indeed. Developers who want to have in-game economy, should use virtual money generated by in-game means (mining, crafting and so on). Requiring real money for that is poor taste. At least in case of Star Citizen you indeed can earn virtual money by in-game means. But they also allow using real money for that.

Feral Interactive are teasing a Linux announcement for tomorrow, hype train is leaving the station

Quoting: STiATI doubt that any game supporting Vulkan will come out any time soon, since drivers of the Ubuntu LTS are not up for it (NVidia 304.131)

I don't think they need to worry about Ubuntu LTS to use Vulkan. It's possible even with Debian stable + backports, and SteamOS for example if you need something that stable.

A Linux release for Kingdom Come: Deliverance still looks very unclear

Which ones (I mean crowdfunded games)? And what is that percentage in comparison with those which stick to their plans?
