Quoting: GuestSorry but no, you said it like a universal truth that applied to everyone and everything everywhere.

you miss understood then .. we are in the GoG Galaxy topic.
and my post here was a reply to Imants who said "We have steam allredy why do we even need Galaxy?"

Yeah. I read on too many forums something like "We already have Windows, why do we need Linux (and/or) SteamOS?".

I'll never make mine this way of thinking...

Still we have the freedom of choice... Use Steam or GoG or Desura. Has best fits your taste.
But, for my part, I really do thank Steam for the Linux push and that's why I mainly use Steam.
This said, the reason I dropped Windows is all about security, viruses, spywares, processes running in the background and all that crap that plagues windows.

I just hope GoG and Desura will be permitted to run on SteamOS... That Valve won't make it impossible for them to run on their OS just like MS would have done... Another reason why I hate them...

But since SteamOS (not the steam client) is open source, it shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah but you have to remember... "The cake is a lie." :)

Aside from Champions of Regnum and from what I read there's a lot of critics about this game, it's really hard to find a good medieval MMORPG on Linux. Anybody has a clue why?

Quoting: MohandevirMmmm... Wondering if it has something to do with MIR and Ubuntu announced xorg "legacy" support...

Just hypothetical but MIR is coming to Unity (Ubuntu) and Canonical could decide to implement the support for the SteamOS version of Xorg. I might be wrong.

This would explain why Ubuntu is still recommended by Valve for developpers but it would cause à lot of problems to other distros if they intend to drop Xorg in favor of Wayland...

There is still xmir and xwayland for xorg support but steamos and many other distros will stick with xorg for quite a while ahead display server is quite a vital component that just has to work I doubt valve would want to make a switch and risk braking steamos boxes with out a proven track record for ither mir/wayland.

I get what you mean and it's logical but I'm not talking about SteamOS switching Xorg. For sure, they won't. Not for quite a while. What I'm talking about is Xmir for Ubuntu that could be a copy of SteamOS'custom Xorg, the one Valve is using atm.

Anyway, we are speculating...

Now you're talking!

It's the only game that I bought and couldn't play it yet because I have no Windows station.

Now I feel whole. :)

*Edit:
The game looks great but WASD is not working so I just stand there and shoot what comes around. The toons are moving without any form of animations. They are just sliding from one place to the other. Really weird looking!

All these games coming before 2015? Wow!
Lots of gameplay ahead for us!

What about Pillars of Eternity?

Quoting: sevenso we can expect minecraft 2 soon exclusively on xbox.... it will (hopefully) fail

As if it mattered.

There's already, without exaggeration, a dozen or more Minecraft clones and spinoffs. The brand doesn't really mean that much anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised if they lock the thing to Windows only and sue anybody that uses that kind of block system so they stop using it... Would not be a never before seen way of doing business for M$$$...

I'm probably going to give it a try. I don't own it yet but I heard a lot of good about it.
