Apparently, Windows 10 S can be upgraded to a "normal" version of Windows 10 Home for free, but the problem is that Microsoft has said around 60% don't even bother to do the upgrade keeping them locked into the Windows Store.

This stuff right here is just Microsoft preying on the ignorance of its users. Just like the free upgrades to Windows 10, the free upgrade to Windows 10 Home will be gone eventually and all of the people that didn't know to upgrade their OS by then have accidentally locked themselves into using a technically inferior product for no benefit.

Quoting: GuestSorry, but blaming Valve is wrong. It is up to the developer/publisher to indicate the supported platforms, and they can change this at any time. It is not set by Valve.

edit: It's also amusing to note that I put exactly this information on r/linux_gaming, and instantly got downvoted. Now think about this - you wonder why companies are so hesitant to support Linux... it's because you guys are so fucking quick to BITE those who DO support you !

ARMA 3 bug tracker wants a word with you about support.

Quoting: SamsaiWhy are we even discussing this? It's pretty obvious it's Half-Life 3.

You just cannot claim it's Half Life 3 whithout actual facts... Even if they are distorted just like in my demonstration. It's just plain fun to try and link any annoucements to one game, no matter how plausible it is. :)

"It's just a shot away" Half-Life had guns. It's Half-Life 3.

Quoting: BeamboomTHIS right here is my most anticipated Linux game for 2018. The mere fact that Gearbox picked this one up in the sea of indies and decided to back it indicates that this is something extraordinary.

Can't wait! I really can't.

I am not 100% serious here but is Gearbox's judgement really all that reliable? :P

So, Pyre won nothing? This is absolutely unacceptable and I will thusly dedicate a segment of the next Friday Livestream to a special Pyre of the Year awards where Pyre wins all the categories. :P

Ah, fantastic. Seems that I hopped on the RimWorld train just in time.

Quoting: tuubiSo you compare your hopes and dreams against reality, and analytically come to a negative conclusion?

In case you and your hype-weary co-worriers haven't noticed, very few things happen quickly in the Linux world. The growth of gaming was never going to be an exception

We see the opposite of growth. That's the entire concern. Any growth would be taken as a victory. Just like miniscule increases in the Steam user stats.

And your ending of that post, THAT'S "hopes and dreams". There's zero guarantee we'll "get there eventually". There's plenty stories of failed attempts in the Linux world too, it's not all a success story on all fronts.
And gaming on Linux is really nothing to take for granted.

What we see is proportional growth of Windows due to the PUBG effect and Asian market increase. If you want to freak out about it then go ahead, meanwhile I will look at the more significant statistics offered by developers and the gradual numerical growth. I personally think that playing video games is more fun than endlessly worrying about them.

Whole lot of votes for Pyre from me. Probably to the surprise of nobody. :P
