Tens of thousands of games in the library, huh? And here I was stressing about not having time to play my puny single thousand of games.

Quoting: mr-victoryOh come on, they pulled from Steam, did that blueprint/lootbox thing, killed Linux support, and completely rewrote the game, all immediately after being acquired by Epic.Quoting: MohandevirSmells like EAC to me...While Psyonix is owned by Epic, Epic does not necessarily influence decisions of Psyonix so we may see a solution other than EAC.

It seems that Valve is really invested in KDE, judging by all the Steam Deck-related work going into it. This is great, except that as GNOME fanboy user I wish they made it easier to use another desktop environment on Steam Deck.

Quoting: PenglingIt's interesting to see how this is turning out over time. I was a Mac user between 2004 and 2008, and the gaming situation (and, as far as I know, percentage) on Mac OS X back then was similar to how it is on Linux now, if not a bit worse...The difference is that there went a lot of work into making Linux a gaming platform. Whereas Apple keeps undermining their platform. MacOS is the only mainstream platform where Vulkan is not supported, and OpenGL is stuck on version 4.1 (2010), so you are forced to use their proprietary Metal API. Switch to ARM processors is objectively not a bad thing, but it does make the burden of supporting games on macOS even worse, especially when taking into account old games. Not to mention the hostile licensing to even be allowed to develop anything on macOS.

Quoting: GuestIndeed, I've never once said I wish my boot times were prolonged by a stupid video...might as well be an Ad at the start of a YT video...Hey, don't give them ideas!

Quoting: GuestObligatory stop promoting Blizzard comment. [...] Blizzard, EA and Ubi can all go die in a fire.I get the sentiment, but to succeed as a platform, we need support from these companies. Otherwise Linux will always be a niche market.

They most likely have Linux enthusiasts in the company, but the bean counters would not let them support Linux officially, because there is "no market" for it.
