I believe you messed up the headline. Isn't it supposed to say "Linux Usage Dramatically Drops, Linux Gaming Practically Dead, All Hail Our Corporate Overlords"?

Sorry, forgot to add the </sarcasm> tag.

I remember hearing that Trendy Entertainment's employees' working conditions were terrible too, not exactly sure when or where though. Anyway, those kinds of contracts are in my opinion simply idiotic and I do hope that this lawsuit ends up costing them more in PR than they are going to gain from it.

Quoting: LightkeyThis gets a news for ScummVM but not version 1.8.0 with eight new engines earlier this month?

Edit: Would also have been a good opportunity to mention their participation in this year's Google Summer of Code, students come apply! Only other game project I saw was Terasology.

Keep in mind that we write about things that we find interesting/useful. Like I mentioned in the article, I practically never use ScummVM and thus I also don't keep up with ScummVM related news. However, we do have the Contact Us page for news tips and anyone can submit their own articles, so if something is sorely missing and should be covered you know what to do.

Funnily enough Shadow of Mordor renders just fine on my R7 370 with open source drivers. Everything is on as low as it goes and I had to override some missing GL spec but I definitely see more than just the head.

You do know that Feral and Co do indeed read the GOL articles (and comments related to their products)? :)

They probably also read our Twitter PMs and emails that we send them.

I also didn't like that identity politics question because in my opinion it sort of drove the developer into a corner. Seriously, how do you answer that question honestly without causing at least a small PR disaster? If you say you don't have plans then some people will spin a racism story because your game isn't diverse enough. I only see one way to answer the question and that is to say "yes" which in my eyes makes you obliged to then increase the diversity even if it's not part of your original vision. And if a question can only be answered in a certain way, what's the point of asking?

Quoting: wolfyrionI wonder how long it will take for some distros to implement Vulkan API... :|

They don't need to. They just have to ship drivers with Vulkan support built into them.

The Vulkan renderer for Talos Principle isn't on Linux yet. Hopefully that will arrive soon.
