Quoting: Sered

Quoting: sonicGuys, I had Steam survey on Linux yesterday...for first time :p

I don't have a windows partition anymore, but when I had, whenever I fired it up and played a Steam-Game there I got that stupid survey.

I played 90% of my time under Linux even back then. At least the survey pops up here now and then, but never as often as it did on Windows. Not sure why, not saying it's a big conspiracy (although it probably is)!

Same here before I converted my Windows laptop to Ubuntu.

My father is 74 years old. The last time he touched a computer was back in the time of Windows 3.1. Couple of years ago I found him a computer and I did a Kubuntu install. He never complained about it and got used to it. He had no reference to compare to.

My kids are 6, 8 and 10 and it's Ubuntu all over the place. Never had any problems either. In fact, they've never been able to crash my pcs because of "yes-clicks" on every tools proposed that transforms a windows install into a sluggish under-performing system.

It's all about the capacity of adaptation of certain individuals that don't want their old habits to be shaken too much. They don't want to get out of their comfort zone and prefer to stick with something they know.

This is why so many of them shows sympathy for Linux but will never take the full leap. They will probably try at some occasions but will back off out of habit.

Resistance to change, they call that?

Already on my wishlist.
This game sure looks great.

What is a typical Tactical FPS? Is Ghost Recon a good exemple of that?

Wait... Unity3D game? How smooth is it? ;)

Edit: Steam sales are started... Just bought it 25% off.

At GDC 2015... Official Steam Machines Launch:

What about...

"For every official Steam Machine sold, you will get a gift card that includes a free copie of or a pre-installed version of:"

One or many of the followings:

Half Life 3(?);
Left 4 Dead 3;
Gauntlet;
The Witcher 3;
Metro redux;
Project Cars.

I picked these games because of the timing of their releases or the mystery around their linux port and I wouldn't be surprised if it was related...

And because many console users don't know how to reinstall and/or hack a system they'll stick with SteamOS and its 800+ games and be happy with it.

I don't mean any offense in this comment, I understand that for some, tweaking a pc is not in their priority list.

Quoting: nitroflowAs it stands now it's playable on my gtx 750 ti in full hd at max settings, but it's not yet optimized. They also need to optimize loading times because it's a loadfest as you go from the world map to other scenes and vice-versa, it can take over 30s loading a city and random encounters on the world map take about 6-9s.

That was my last hesitation... What the Linux client will be like? The beta of the beta? If the graphics performances are as good as you say it (not the load time), I'm a buyer.

As long as the Linux version is available on Day-1 of the official release... Else you are exposed to "we only sold 50 copies of our linux port" type of argument (heard that somewhere?) when many linux players previously bought it on Windows and won't buy it again on Linux.

Everquest... You don't have to say more, I'm already sold. Everquest is to date my best MMORPG of all time. Unfortunately the graphics began to look terrible, else I'd still be playing it.

Nothing easy, everything you get, you work hard for it. I like that. If Shroud of the Avatar is anything close to that, we will finally have an MMORPG the way I like them.

Quoting: ellieferalWe're working on it. What with all the Linux games we have planned, penguins are likely to swim their way onto our Feral Radar sooner or later...

Really glad to hear that. Big thanks to Feral!
