Quoting: drlambWell the game crashes for me on Mesa-git so...

Mine doesn't even start, first it was crashing without anything, them I've forced the game to run once using steam runtime (so it could download some files) and try to run without it again.

It still crashes, but now it open a black screen before crashing, instead of not opening at all.

Nice, I'll try to run it again once this version hit Manjaro stable

Would be nice if we could use Discord to in consoles too, it would settle then as the "official chat program" for players, without the risk of being bought / locked by a specific vendor.

Graphene are the stem cells of technology, in theory it's revolutionary for a lot of things, except leaving the research lab.

I hope we don't get more performance regression due to the mitigation about this one

Some indie developers like to blame Steam for their indie game not being profitable as Valheim, Undertale,Stardew Valley or other successful indie titles, but they ignore the fact that all those games have some quality factor that highlights them from the others. They also usually lack of proper marketing their games around the community.

Again, unfortunately due to nowadays saturated market you need something different if you expect your game to sell well enough, and no one is obligated to buy your game so you need to convince the costumers somehow. That's how any non-essential service works.

The only thing you can obligate people to give you money despite the quality is public services, which is why judges and politicians have high paychecks.

It goes even further to mention the likes of Microsoft, EA and more companies that tried and "failed to develop a robust commercial strategy away from the Steam Gaming Platform"

And I thank God everyday for that, I imagine how "Apple-storeish" PC gaming would be if the top game store were owned by one of those companies.

About the 30% cut, I think Valve should make different options for indie developers, like if you're a small company you pay a lower cut, in exchange of not having some "benefits" from the platform. But if your game sells past x keys or if your profit pass $x,xx value, we by contract start to get the standard 30% cut (and you get the "right" to access all the benefits, even if you don't use them).

This way I think it would "balance" a little the current situation.

Also indie devs need to understand that no matter how much love and time they invested developing a game, no one are obligated to buy them, so in today's over saturated market it's really up to them to properly develop a quality game and to properly publicize it. Algorithms will help up to a part, but they're not responsible for it success.

And about the lawsuit, this whole subject is ridiculous. As far as I know it's not like Valve is directly boycotting other stores, they're just the result of Gabe Newell being a visionary back then, when no one thought about this business model, and for Valve continuously investing in make Steam a better platform for consumers, despite already being the leader.

Imagine try to sue whatsapp for being the biggest chat app, or google for being the biggest search engine, or Microsoft for Excel being the biggest spreadsheet program.

More Media Foundation work.

If you know the following quote, you know this is always something to celebrate

Hello @User, it looks like this game would benefit from support for Media Foundation maturing.
