GDC 2025 survey shows PC game development growing with lots interested in Valve's Steam Deck

There are two explanations that come to my mind when I see the high enthusiasm for games being developed against Apple's disruptions:

a) We've always done it that way

b) We're scared of Whoopi Goldberg publicly complaining about a missing Mac version.

Windows compatibility layer Wine 10.0 out now bringing Wayland and ARM64EC support, new FFmpeg multimedia back-end
23 Jan 2025 at 7:22 pm UTC

Video support has been getting better in the last two years, but there are still times that gstreamer makes me so mad. I think I've written the same thing on a previous news post concerning the ffmpeg back-end…

I'm not sure that Leonard Nimby is a good idea for a name – Nimby is somewhat of an insult and it seems to make fun of Leonard Nimoy. I'm not sure that I want to play a Nimby in a game.

Quoting: tmtvlYou think so?

The name of the Sony president has to be the Japanese equivalent to Mäxchen Müller in German (i.e. a generic placeholder name).

My question is: Does anyone else think that Sony has lost the ability to innovate? It seems that they are stuck with randomly buying some successful company, closing it if there isn't a massive revenue stream at once and then switching to the next target…

Quoting: BloodScourgeWell then, it's a hard pass for me
It might change after the surprised developer has been told that there are Linux users on desktop system that have bought the game.

Slay the Spire 2 gets a first trailer - coming to Early Access in 2025

Quoting: eggroleNot really relevant except that it is nice to see "big" games breaking away from the Unreal/Unity duopoly.
Just to prevent confusion: The first StS does not use Unreal or Unity3D – it uses a framework written in Java.
