PowerVR Show Off Vulkan On Android, Impressive

Quoting: GuestNot sure if Gallium3D is fitting for it. There is duplication of functionality between Gallium and SPIR-V / Vulkan. I think Vulkan drivers will be independent of Gallium3D, since there is no need for redundant abstractions.Quoting: linuxgamerIndeed very impressive. Now we need some Nvidia Vulkan drivers, or at least Intel ones (Valve?).Not until the end of the year, and it can likely be expected for nvidia, amd, intel, and on mobile platforms. Ideally, for Linux, the best place to have it is with all appropriate drivers through Gallium3D.

Quoting: GuestBroken games means you have technical issues. If your issues aren't technical, you games can't be broken. You contradict yourself.Quoting: ShmerlThat makes sense to me. If you don't have technical issues, why should they refund you? I can understand cases "I bought a wrong game by mistake", but it's very easy to abuse. If I were GOG, I'd make exactly the same refund policy as they did.Great, have fun with your crappy and broken games. Me I’ll buy on Steam.

They only accept refunds if you have a technical issue, and I guess if you are not using one of the exact two distros they officially support they’ll refuse.

The Flock Will Only Be Playable For A Limited Time, Releasing For Linux This Year

Quoting: DrMcCoyYep, I noticed that (updated my comment above). Still the concept of limited playability is weird and IMHO isn't useful.Quoting: ShmerlHow are they going to accomplish it without DRM? Pretty bad concept really.It's a multiplayer game. It needs a central server to run.

UPDATE: Ah, I see it's multiplayer. Then it makes more sense, users are just kicked from the server. But it's still a bad concept regardless.
