- TillE 13y agoIt's almost hard to believe how far Linux gaming has come just in the past, what, two years? I think it really started with the Humble Indie Bundle's mandatory Linux support, accelerated with the help of Unity and Kickstarter, and really achieved mainstream legitimacy with Steam. As long as the GPU manufacturers cooperate and write good drivers, the future looks very bright indeed.
- ThePinion 13y agoI think worldwide support/adaption of the Steam Machines will basically make it so GPU manufacturers have really no choice but to write amazing Linux drivers. If they don't then they'll more than likely be chosen less by companies producing (yearly?) Steam Machines.
- pachydermic 13y agoUnless they only write good custom drivers for hardware they know will be used in Steam machines. Don't know of any reason why they'd do that, though... I'm hopeful :) Finally. The year of the Linux desktop is upon us!
- kyrra 13y agoThere won't be "known hardware" for steam machines[0]. They will allow AMD and Nvidia video cards with no specifics about which cards will be allowed. [0] http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown
- Havoc 13y agoUnreal in particular is a big win since its the base of so many games. Also...you forgot Source.
- agapos 13y agoMaybe that's what he meant under Steam, as all the others are correctly named engines :)
- theandrewbailey 13y agoI can't wait for the 2048 forks!
- _random_ 13y agoYes, the game engine pricing bottom is getting closer!
