Since when does PCWorld cares about Steam Hardware survey?

Wierd timing, it happens at the same time of Tim Sweeney (Epic Games) public attack against UWP (Windows Store).

This is a subject in which they seemed quite biased when covering it too. They used lots of easy shortcuts to discredit Tim Sweeney.

I'm beginning to have doubt about PCWorld's objectivity.

I get the whole picture, but have you seen the lineup of forthcoming games that just appeared on Steam displaying the SteamOS/Linux icon? I maintained my "explore" window up to date and usually get between 3 to 4 games per day untill yesterday. Today I got 3 complete screens with 11 games to "explore" and I don't know yet if there isn't a fourth. These games are all advertising SteamOS/Linux support... Sorry but wtf is going on?!?!?!

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: maodzedunBecause I wanted for kodi to be added as a launcher in there. Anyway, I'm happy you like it but imo it's crap. Ubuntu is a much better solution. In the end I just boot in ubuntu with kodi for movies and a modded Windows will solve my streaming problems (that one's on AMD though).

As Liam mentioned, SteamOS is explicitly designed as a platform for playing games through Steam. It's not meant to be a general purpose operating system.

Personnaly I did exactly that and Kodi launches from BPM and works great if you follow the "How to" on SteamOS forum. The Steam Controller is a great remote control for Kodi, btw.

Anyway, even if Kodi didn't work well I wouldn't complain about it because for gaming, SteamOS is awesome.

Local coop... Yes!

Maybe the Steam Machines' console experience will help multiplying the qty of this type of games... I got 2 SC. It will be fun to play with my kids.

This game looks great indeed.

I read on Phoronix that this game is CPU bound. This would explain why I get 71fps average with my GTX750ti at High settings, 1080p. My CPU is an i7-2600 and seems to be able to do a good job even if it's 3 years old...
Amazing!

For those interested, Dubigrasu did a benchmark of Unity 4 vs 5... Quite promising:

Just look for the last page of the forum's comments.

Thanks Dubi!

I did the "error" of buying it in the spring when it was first announced together with a big sale discount. Because it was feral, I was confident so I bought it but I discovered later that they probably wouldn't get paid for it.

Doh! I'll never do that again!

In fact it's the only game that I can't play, right now. Aside from Rocket League that I got with my Steam Controller, but I don't really care about this one.

Hey! What a surprise! It's kind of off-topic but I just logged into Steam and I got the Steam Survey for the first time in nearly a year. I might just be "lucky", but since it's the first survey after the official release of the Steam Machines, anyone else is in the same situation?

Quoting: MayeulCTo me, it's more like the company behind the Mirage & Rafale Fighters, or the nEUROn drone :)

I admit that it could have been but you mean Dassault Aviation and in this case it's Dassault Systems. Two different entities. Oh! And I forgot to mention Google, in the list of Vulkan contributors.

Edit: Just for the record, Dassault Aviation and Dassault Systems have the same origin. At some point the company was split in two entities (1981).
