Quoting: subPlease consider supporting AMD.

I don't really mind proprietary games, but as a Linux user
I clearly want my computer infrastructure being as open as possible.
Hardware, drivers and libs.

This is where AMD shines, if you're smart enough to value this.

Or just be a conscious customer and evaluate products properly instead of relying on ideologies only.

As if AMD's GPU's clearly suck compared to NVIDIA's value-wise.
No they don't, and the diff between them is mostly ideological to begin with. The latter abhors public software model, the former at least partially supports it. So the ideology starts with the vendor in this case, rather than with the consumer.

The only detail I'm currently interested in though is WHEN THE FECKING rdna1 PRICES WILL GO DOWN

Quoting: GuestFrictional and their history of Linux support

their Linux support was always just a guy who does the porting.
The engine probably was using OpenGL from the beginning, otherwise we woudln't have seen the support at all.
They've most likely tweaked and hacked on it but haven't fleshed out the bugs yet.

There was interview [External Link] (spoiler heavy, especially for the older games) where it was mentioned that engine is inherited from SOMA. It was big benefit as they could do better reviews of things they were working on. They really care about that games that they develop are scary and that's harder to prove with few solid low polygon objects.

All of their games 'inherit' the same engine AFAIU

Their Linux support was always working and playable on day 1, going all the way back. This is completely unplayable and I've seen better results when devs shrug and hit Unity's Export button and call it a day. Windows seems usable but with issues as well and I fear they rushed for a halloween season release; it's clear QA was lacking and at this point I doubt if anyone got around to firing up the Linux build.

I've always pointed to Frictional as a prime example as not only a great dev but one with top notch Linux support. This release has really soured me on them.

Sigh... Grow up. Read up.

Always nice to have another native and another classic
Personally more intrested in D2, but both its ports are somewhat lacking last time I checked

Quoting: mos"visual novels" are niche at best and scummvm will be OK without them. whether pr0n or not.

Why, of course they know their priorities, they even go over the game engine author's wish to not include them if they think it's important enough, as happened here with Myst III: Exile and The Longest Journey: Chat log [External Link].

not sure what it has to do with the post you've answered to, but the chatlog is a bit protracted - could you be a tad more clear will or won't Myst, TLJ and the Flashback games mentioned at the top of the log be included?
