Sunday Section: What Was Your Biggest Linux Gaming Letdown So Far This Year?
2 Nov 2015 at 12:33 pm UTC Likes: 1

My first letdown is for Grimrock II not been ported to Linux.
It's a great game, even if its genre isn't very popular this days.

My second letdown is the low amount of AAA games been distributed DRM-free.
With on-line distribution today's prices are very atractive, so sales are good.
And it's proven that piracy don't affects sales.

So, why distribute your game only on Steam when you got Gog.com which is a nice shop?
Why shrink your distibution paths when you could sell on both?
And most important :

Why bother your customers with DRM?

AFAIR that's one of the companies (Humble is another one), that does count them separatly.
But how?

HumbleBundle has a checkbox to select OS on purschase.

GoG.com doesn't.

Three gems over opensource engines :

-Morrowind over OpenMW 1.0 . (Patiently waiting).
-Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition over Xoreos 1.0. (Patiently waiting, thanks DrMcCoy).
-The Witcher 1 over Xoreos 1.0. (Not sure if it is scheduled, but I would play to if so).

Two commercial but unreleased :

-Two Worlds II. (Promised but unreleased).
-Legend of Grimrock II. (Not promised but spected after the first one was ported).

Nvidia To Show Off Vulkan On NVIDIA GPUs & An OpenGL Linux Graphics Debugger

Quoting: SabunIf Nvidia really are out the door first with Vulkan support (disregarding the Intel driver Valve made), I will be disappointed.

Not in the efforts of Nvidia, but in AMD's skill. Vulkan is their brainchild, since it spawned from Mantle. I really thought AMD would be on top of it this time. There's still time until what's announced, but I feel it in my gut that AMD probably isn't that interested in it as they are in DX12.
I'm not surprised.

That also happened in the past when AMD talked to support OpenCL rather than CUDA :

-nVidia was the very first graphics vendor in doing an OpenCL hardware accelerated implementation. Not AMD.

This!

Segata :

For the next single game question, please add an "Don't like Steam EULA" as an option (if aplicable for that game).
