QuoteOT: I am also considering to buy a PS4, because I know I am missing some good games.

I have one of those. Consoles are great. I know I'm not getting the best graphical experience there is, but I know I'm getting the best (and only) experience on my console and this lets me simply enjoy the game, instead of endlessly tweaking options, re-running benchmarks and wondering what piece of hardware I should buy to make the game that little bit better.

QuoteIf the Devs from EA, Ubisoft, Activision or Bethesda, in their spare time and adhonorem, develop a Linux version of the Windows game they are making, the Publisher will not complain for that unpaid work

Of course they will. Publishers want to have tight control over what gets put out and they want no rogue versions on the loose. It also means support requests for a product they're not prepared to, and see no commercial point in, supporting at all. Plus, I'm sure most of these companies have strong ties to Microsoft and probably don't want to get on their bad side for little or no benefit (at least as far as they can see).

Quoting: liamdaweAs for percentages, if you hover over the bar it gives you the percentages. The dropdowns below each graph also give more info.

Oh, right, I never noticed. Ignore me, then. :-)

This whole discussion made me realise I actually miss the monthly survey and survey results articles. I especially miss the one or two unique questions every month.

Here's my take on this (make with it what you will):

A week before you poll our accounts for data (however often you want to do that, say every two months), make an (semi-automated) article about it. Include a prominent link to the profile page, so I just need to click it, review my data and click save. If there's a unique question you (or someone else? There could also be an article asking for suggestions a few days prior) want to ask, include this in the article.

Then, after the data is collected, you make another article linking to the updated stats page and giving the stats for the unique question(s). Best of both worlds! \o/

Also, browsing the fresh results, it's occurred to me that I'd really like them to include percentage values. Personally, I'd even make them more prominent than the absolute values, as they are the more immediately interesting ones. Something like the box we get at the end of every bar now, with percentage above in larger font and absolute value in below in smaller font (that would also solve your numbers-are-so-big-they-look-cluttered problem somewhat) in it.

Mass Effect is excellent, I would be very happy if it came out for us. It does run pretty much perfectly in Wine, so it's not that big an issue anyway.

There are quite a few games on GOG which it would be trivial for them to "port" to Linux using Dosbox and they aren't doing it. They even recently put the DOS version of Wing Commander IV out, with the Windows version previously completely unusable in Wine, and it's set up for Windows only as well. So they just don't care too much. I treat their effort as "me, too" after Valve did it and that's about it.

I'm halfway through the PS4 version, but bought nonetheless. Apparently I have too much money. I hope Feral will, too. ;-)

Quoting: LeopardGog.com should bring their old and only Windows titles to Linux by Wine porting,like Topware did

For example:The Witcher Enhanced Edition

Like they did with is Mac version. I found the omission of Linux baffling, especially in the light of the subsequent Linux version of W2.

Stasis is apparently still coming. Nice to see the dev has noticed us as a market and made sure this one is portable.

PSVR for me too, although I know I'll get Vive in a heartbeat once it works with Linux together with some worthwhile VR games.

That's excellent news!

Interestingly, the Feral radar is showing the "Depth Charge" game coming sooner than Mad Max...
