Uhm..... Steam OS is just a version of Linux.   The main hurdle is that there are so many different kernels (I believe the term is) that some game companies may not wish to support it since you have to make sure a linux port works with all the major releases (Mint, Ubuntu, etc).

 

Plus some of the smaller publishers will probably assume that Linux users will run the game in wine or some other OS environment emulator.

 

 

 

1)The problem is not with the kernels. The kernels only support the runtime, the kernels are responsible for the running of the operating systems. Not to mention that linux is heavily customized by the core kernel is usually left untouched but is surrounded by custom kernels because it is so modular. Yes steam OS at it's core is a linux kernel but it is still a distro. Which is very common.

 

 

2) The problem is with nvidia and one cannot assume that wine will solve everything. Wine does not work for every product, some games need to be very efficient in the graphical sense and wine will add another emulation layer which might cause innefficiency problems. The problem is the war between DirectX and opengl. The thing is that when you are writing graphical software, you use libraries that allow you to talk to the buffer on your graphics card. This buffer is responsible for keeping your geometric data and passing it through a pipeline. Which means supporting games for linux means a) Your engine should compile both to opengl. Which in all honesty, is not something that is usually implemented. They are also huge hurdles between the compatibility of the drivers on both systems.

PC gamer reporting in! Nothing like building an awesome pc and then playing awesome games on it. I made the switch circa 2010, in the dark ages. Never looking back.

Dammit Lathrim! This is no laughing matter! How dare you make light of this situation. You peasents are lucky we suffer your existence, we could take you down anytime.

Calling yourself "PC gamer master race" is the equivalent in my eyes of admitting that you're a filthy neckbeard fedora wearing clopper. Why admit to something like that man? Do you want to be epically friendzoned like "T" was?

 

I mean these "PC master race" comments started as a joke from the Escapist video but then I've seen people literally talking as if they're pu$$iieee magnets on YouTube because they game on PC.

 

 

...although if there's a true master race...it's this:

Peasant? Me? No, I'm just flexible. Consoles + PC = true master race!

I've been a pc gamer for 25 years. Started out on a pc without a harddisk (you read that right), big bendable floppy disks and a monitor that could produce a whopping amount of 256 colours, or something ridiculous like that. I'm not really big on the specs, I'm 28 years old right now so logic concludes I was 3 years old when my 'career' started and thus not very big on the technical side of things ;)

I hate what PC gamers have turned into though... or gamers in general for that matter.

'Oh I don't like this game. YOU SHALL BUUURNRNNNNN FOR ETERNITY' Ugh.

You have not lived until you play Ultima IV for a year, only to reach the end and discover that the final quest is bugged.

I will.

However I'm still waiting for one that's 27" with an HDMI port, just so I can use it with my other devices.

Well I had/have a PS3, but I haven't used it in years (2011/2012). It's collecting dust in my parents' garage tbh.

 

I plan to get a Wii U once my finances are in better shape, so it's not like I shun consoles. But if Rockstar can port GTA V to PC, they can port RDR.

Ideally tho, the hybrids are the true master race. I PC game, console game, and handheld game. I'm above a lot of these peasants

Not trying to sound insufferable or pretentious here, but master race is typically focused on "purity" not hybrids.

As for me, I think there's only one game that would make me get a console (and even then, it's really, REALLY tough).

Multiplatform is the way to go.

Seeing the "master race" beg for console games is just embarrassing.

PS4/Xbone mostly has multiplatform titles and Bloodborne is about the only exclusive that interests me, meanwhile Wii U has stuff like Smash Bros, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Xenoblade Chronicles, Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, Bayonetta 2, etc. It's hard to argue with that kind of line up.

Why is it embarrassing? If I can play a game at 1920x1200 and 60 FPS with textures that use 3 GB of VRAM, rather than 900p struggling along at 30 FPS, I'd sure as heck rather.

All first party. Nintendo is basically king of first party (Sony seems like they're second).
