Quoting: TacoDeBossAnd they've embarrassed Valve by saying it would be ready for the Steam Machine launch.

Valve caused some (if not most) of the delays. This was mentioned in the article. Be fair and don't put all of the blame on Psyonix.

Quoting: throgh

Quoting: KimyrielleHandling graphics drivers in Linux is still an absolute pain and is probably THE single biggest obstacle for the average user to get a Linux based system ready for halfway serious gaming. Both AMD but also NVidia have to get their act together eventually and release something that installs with one click, you know...like in Windows. Right now we're a far cry from that. And no, NVidia isn't much better. Optimus. 'nuff said.

Interesting: I have no further problem running the driver installation. You want a one-click-installation? Stay with Windows. Simple as that. :D

Why do people even want to download driver installers from the web instead of using their package managers? This doesn't make sense to me. There are official (or semi-official) repositories for supported releases of the big distributions that provide new drivers almost instantly after release. Sure, a highly customized or bleeding-edge system might not get this level of support, but then again, you don't even have a (legal) way of running a highly customized or bleeding-edge version of Windows. And if you do, you certainly can't expect random drivers and installers to work on it.

PS: None of the installers are "one-click" on Windows.

Quoting: GuestOh god, this sorta pushed me away from the game, anyone who respects steve jobs is either an idiot or a scumbag (like him). Unless they were just planning to make fun of him :)

People tend to associate success in business with other, more significant accomplishments or qualities of character. Just look at Trump. He's a complete and utter tool, but his enormous fortune makes a lot of people think he'd make a good president of the US.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI guess it's Tomb Raider. Still I do wonder why they port the old game instead of the latest title. What's the idea of porting older games, when you could also port recent ones?

I'm sure they'd love to port all the recent and upcoming blockbusters, but at the end of the day it's not their decision to make. It's up to the IP owner to "hire" them for the job, not the other way around.

Quoting: GuestJust a little light humour, tuubi. :P

OK. There are a lot of people who think Valve should do exclusives though. Like it's more important to win than to fight fair.

Quoting: GuestHL3 timed exclusive to SteamOS would destroy Microsofts plans.
Pull your finger out Gabe !!

If they're one day talking about the evils of walled gardens and building walls the next, they lose much of the goodwill and trust they've built up in recent years. These things are important, for gamers and game developers alike.

Quoting: NyamiouRemember Windows XP viruses, Vista, Windows 8, Windows 10 privacy policy, no matter how much they screw up, they always seems to win in the end.

Who says they're winning? They're certainly in the lead still, but they're losing market share on pretty much all fronts. A behemoth like Windows won't just fall overnight.

Quoting: TheBoss

Quoting: fedsop.s. it would be great to be tracked by the survey so I wouldn't have to select the same answers every month!!

I'm afraid as far as I know that's not a feature google docs offers. It would also require people to login.

This isn't doable for a Google Docs form, but login could be avoided by storing the answers in a local cookie. Of course this would need to be opt-in in case you're filling the survey on a public or shared computer/device.

Quoting: LukeNukemWhat the heck is

QuoteRight now the plan is PC or Windows, Linux and Mac

supposed to mean?

It will be released for all of the PC OS's, or it will be released for all of the PC OS's?

At least they made it explicit. If they only said PC, we would be left wondering if they meant Windows only. Wouldn't be the first time.

Quoting: wolfyrionWhatever game has heavy combat and more action than exploring and doing quests I am fine with that

The opposite of this.
