I just hope it gets sensors for VR.

There is just too much content out there. Thousands and thousands of bands on bandcamp and spotify, thousands and thousands of hours of movies and TV and Netflix and Amazon, thousands and thousands of games across all platforms.

It's hard to be successful, no matter what.

Quoting: PhlebiacDoes anyone know "how much" of Hitman 2 is included, considering the base game is already free on Steam?
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/11358/HITMAN_2__Standard_Edition/ [External Link]

Other than that, I already have the games I really want from that list, other than Turok 2, so this month is a bit disappointing (and last month wasn't stellar).

The "Standard Edition" that's free is just the first level. What you get in the Humble package is the actual standard game, that's 59,95€ at the moment on Steam.

No surprise at all. Get the basics (massive game compatibility) done, then put it in SteamOS.

Quoting: GuestIf anyone needed any more proof that Valve cares about pushing Windows more than Linux, here you go. I thought they'd at least have Linux releasing at the same time, if not releasing Linux first to help promote Linux gaming.

Linux takes the back seat yet again. But as always, at least it's coming. Eventually. Hopefully.

You seriously say this... dude. Valve doesn't need to push Windows in the slightest. Valve does more for Linux than anybody else. VR on Linux is still a niche in a niche.

Quoting: appetrosyanMarketing wise, is it wise to release a game you developed in house, for a hostile platform, and only then release it for "steam", OS? I mean I understand that they have no faith in other publishers. But WTF? Valve? It's your OS. If you want for it to make sense for people to install it, add some incentive!

Hostile platform? No faith in other publishers? What are you even talking about?

Put it differently.

How do you expect other people to support Steam OS and Steam consoles, if you yourself, release what should be a steam os exclusive on Windows first, and only patch support for your in house platform post-launch.

Steam OS exclusivity would be just stupid. And that's not what Steam OS is for.

Quoting: kusochiWoah! Is this the first Source 2 game with Vulkan?

Dota 2, Artifact and parts of The Lab already ran on Source 2.

Might be a silly question, but what are the chances this becomes a part of Proton? One step less for Out of the Box experiences.

Since you're typing in English, I assume you understand English, so you're going to have to be a bit more specific as to what you're confused about.

Everything.

VR isn't that expensive anymore. SteamVR is a standard. And then you start talking about communism.

For some of us it is expensive. I certainly couldn't afford it.

It's been on the market for several years now. You could have saved up some money. And I assume you have a gaming PC. How much did you spend on this? And of course it's going to get cheaper. Technology always does.

Y'know, people with money talking to people without money like they know shit is exactly what gets people talking about Communism.

What makes you think I have money? And we're talking about GAMING here. This is such a first world problem.

If you airily say to someone who says they can't afford something, that they can afford it, that's because compared to them you have money (and perhaps fewer responsibilities). And are clueless about the distinction.

That's rubbish. I'd really like to know the situation those people are in that they have the need to complain about not being able to play a stupid game. If they REALLY wanted to, getting a VR headset wouldn't be much of a problem. HL:A already needs a rather powerful system. Is that a problem?

It's just the same anti-VR nonsense over and over again.
