I don't understand the reason to automatically assume the worst. There is no definitive evidence supporting either theory, so why not keep an open mind? You don't have to get your hopes up, but you're making assumptions without any support. Microsoft bought them but we're not privy to how much control and influence MS exerts on inXile internally. Being negative at this point benefits nobody.

To all the people last year who immediately assumed inXile being acquired by Microsoft meant the end of their Linux ports, you should try to keep an open mind next time.

Quoting: dibz

Quoting: XpanderRelease the GOG Galaxy client for linux


not gonna buy anything from them before we are getting treated equally to other platforms

More bees with honey and all that. I can't imagine linux is a major player for GoG or any gaming storefront really, I would think being the vocal minority in this case is more likely to get them to officially drop support for linux as opposed to increase their support for it. Be vocal AND supportive imho, that's what gives opinions weight.

The feature most important to me is delta updates/downloads. I hate having to re-download entire games because my only official option is the browser. Offer an official API if they don't want to develop a native client for us, let us develop our own clients even if they don't have full functionality (like multiplayer).

Quoting: cprnIsn't it at this point easier (also cheaper and more scalable) to just have a desktop workstation...? And a cheap laptop on a side if you really need that mobility but, yeah, most people don't.

Depends on the job, but laptop and desktop workstations aren't necessarily exclusive to one another. You can have the desktop for your main work and the laptop to move around a building or to other buildings, but maybe you need the laptop to be capable of renders and data computing too where you're going. Maybe you need to bring the laptop home to finish work some nights, or any number of other excuses as long as you or the company you work for deem it worth it.

Quoting: gradyvuckovicImma keep it real with ya chief - That response is 100% PR Talk

They got busted. All of that response is just code for:

"We're not going to support Linux until we think it's financially worth it and we still don't think it is and truth be told we don't think it's financially worth it for our customers to do so either, but now we know developers who ask about Linux support might rat on us to reddit to make us look bad, we're going to give a canned 'Sorry we do not currently support Linux at this time but we might support Linux in the future.' response next time a developer asks about Linux support instead of our honest opinion."

That last line in particular makes it clear, don't expect Vivox to support Linux any time soon.

Basically yea, but it's nice to know they'll keep their opinions to themselves from now on. The Vivox guy wanted to make a sale and earn a customer, and that was a seriously scummy way to do it.

Quoting: 14This game is totally up my and my friends' alleys. I don't like paying to play betas, but I can see myself getting this one at release and not waiting for a sale.

As a backer I can tell you development is coming along nicely and it already plays very well. I think you'll be quite pleased with the game after release.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroExpansion looks great and all, but £35 for DLC??? The base game is £50 for those of us who bought it day-1 and the other expansion (which I still haven't gotten round to buying because of the price) is £25. That's fu**ing nuts, there's no other way to describe that.

I remember the gold old days when you paid £30 for a game and £15 for each expansion and all the little pieces of additional £5 horse armour didn't exist.

I like Civ a lot and VI is pretty decent, but honestly the value for money is abhorrent. For those buying day-1 and paying £110 to have a full game, you're better off waiting a couple of years for a £20 "complete edition" and buy like 5 really decent games to play during that time. There's just no way of justifying that pricetag.

Quoting: liberodarkAs for the installer you have a very simple proof moreover this project was born from the will of corrected some problem related to the installation on Last Epoch on a linux.
And the correction of some problem it works perfectly and was done in collaboration with the team is a small project that was only to help you else you have the proof of what I say here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTERPRp45PA&feature=youtu.be

The regular installer works perfectly as well though... Besides, downloading an installer for a professionally made native game from a github repo feels wrong.

The installer is useless if you haven't supported the game, and if you have supported it you can download the installer directly from them...
