Linux was created 30 years ago

There are hundreds of thousands of games on the Play Store, all of which run on a version of Linux. If you want to talk about them though, maybe you should take this garbage back to /v/.

Yeah, maybe in another 20 years some games will run on most popular distros, on most but not all kernels, with some window managers, with this directx 9 emulation layer. They crashs sometimes tho.

the only no-brainer I see is the twitter retard

I read the very same arguments 10 years ago.
That is my point.
>This happens because...
I know why it happens.
When BSDs developers finally give up, the situation will be the same.

And...what is it you want us to say? You're obviously determined that Linux has no games, or will ever have games. Can we end the thread and move on now?

Wow, seems like Linux is so shit people get paid to bash it online, better buy my Windows 10 license asap.

It plays the only game that matters.

That's not tuxracer.

It's primarily the fault of developers. Programming stuff on Linux is probably easier on Linux but 99% of people use Windows so they don't bother with writing portable code. If games and their engines were open source then official ports wouldn't need to be necessary. Look at the Doom and Quake communities. Too bad OSS isn't possible as modern games want to add as much proprietary bullshit as possible as well as anti-consumer stuff that people would just cheat back in.

nice try mossad

Is this really a problem with GNU/Linux or Nvidia and AMD?

A mature OS for mature people to use in a business environment doesn't need games.

All good games are emulated, regardless of the platform.
You need either retroarch, dosbox or scummvm to play the good shit and they run natively on linux.

You sound like a kid when you do declarations like that.
Also you know very well linux can actually run all the good games fine.
It's just the virtual casinos that have some trouble.

>Virtual casinos
Now you sound like a kid.

>Muh virtual casinos
It's like you don't understand that Linux users can't afford to pay for an OS, let alone to play in virtual casinos.

Valve tried to improve it but third party devs refused to support

Are you trying to somehow make yourself sound superior by saying you buy fucking lootboxes?
You should go back to the lab mice pride parade you came from.

Gaming is for immense faggots. Kys.

Yeah, did fell for the whole "lootbox buyer" bullshit.

>imagine using linux just to play games
linux was never meant for gaming since the hardware support for proprietary driver is fucking ass

Are you a fucking child?

Official AMD drivers are libre, included in the kernel and also of good quality.

So are NSA's contributions to Coreboot and TOR.

It's just good enough.
Windows 7 is still better than linux for anything not server, but when microsoft abandon it, linux will be the better OS for everything by default.

>Implying Windows 8.1 Embedded isn't the mustardrice

That's very related to gaming on Linux.

I've had great luck running my few favorite Windows games on Linux via Proton (that is, Killing Floor 2, Doom (the new one), and COD: World At War), and many of my favorite games have native Linux ports (Killing Floor 1, Classic Doom and Quake, Dusk, Gmod, CS:GO, Team Fortress 2, Insurgency, Minecraft, and others). I know Linux support isn't great, but my experience with Linux has been relatively peachy so far, compared to what many Windows users seem to think about the platform for gaming as a whole.

And yes, games like OpenTTD, OpenRA, and Assault Cube are humble projects that have clawed their way into my library. I love these games, and I like seeing more of them.

Hey that's a cute penguin you have there. And that painting animal mascot is from the leenux thing too, right?
Well hi Jow Forums, we kinda want to move to the penguin thing because you see we kinda fucked it up and let microsoft turn windows into some really fucking ugly thing (just look at the windows 10 calculator).
So, we're moving in. Sorry if we do something wrong like installing systemD or ubuntu or making steam linux big, but windows is fucking ugly now, and we saw that linus guy telling that you now can play games on linux so hello.

poo in the loo /v/ermin

Nonfree closed source games should not be played on any operating system or console and that includes playing ROMs in emulators. The emulator might be open source but the ROM is still closed source which is harmful to your freedom.

i'd say sure yes if you were to say this couple of years ago but being able to have dx9->dx11->vulkan or dx12->vulkan translation layers is still something awesome i'd say.

t. not a gaymen.

wow pajeet, that's wild
i guess my 100+ game steam/pirated game library is unplayable on linux, not to mention the thousands of roms i have
lol

>closed source
Fuck off, IBM. The open source movement only existed to market free software to corporations by obfuscating its inherent political nature.

>Its not a consumer oriented operating system.
Yeah, that's why Android phones run a form of a Linux distro, the majority of embedded devices, consoles, etc. Yeah, totally not consumer oriented. Let's also not pretend that gaming compatibility hasn't gotten better. Keeping in mind that it was never the goal of the OS in the first place.

Linux for gaming will begin once windows 7 gets axed and 40% of the marketshare will be forced to upgrade or leave.
Nobody wants botnet 8 and 10, and nobody wants the headache of a mac conversion.

>if linux was more widely used then there would be more software and games
That's putting the cart before the horse. You need to have the incentive for people to move over to the new system to begin with, not as an afterthought.

Yeah sure, just like Linux for gaming was going to begin once XP got axed

Linux has never been an OS, but a kernel.

You know Windows 7 is botnet too, right?

>OP

B A I T

>linux users don't buy games
this argument is stupid and you know it, if the game is not supported on linux you will obviously have to buy a windows copy of the version and then play it through wine on linux or whatever the fuck. of course it won't register that sale as a linux user but a windows user instead because the game is for windows you fucking idiot stupid inbred

You mean this one?

>Steam dropping Linux support
ubuntu support =/= linux support you stupid retard

Linux PC has more games than any gaming console.

gaming is suported. its the game developers who have to create games linux not the OS developers.

I think you mean this

gamers wont go for linux because linux has no games
developers wont make games for linux because linux has no gamers

I play lots of games on Linux. And do lots of other things with Linux too. Like visit image boards, for example. Unlike some OS's, gaming isn't the goal of Linux but it's there if *really* wanted.

Linux of course. They let people use shitty drivers instead of "Nvidia support: coming soon".

Steam could start supporting 64bit architectures as well

Gnu/Linux and the BSDs were born purely out of contrarianism and open source experimentation.

There is no reason to take them seriously - the people who do pay big money for support and such.

>make a shitty game full of bugs
>surprisingly get bug reports submitted left and right
>b-b-b-b-b-but but but they came from people using Linux and end it there
What a great fucking developer.
