Emphasis mine:

Hmm. So that happened earlier than I expected.

I am delighted to announce that #FM13 has just become the best selling game in the Football Manager series. Thank you so much for all your support!

So as promised, a snippet of #FM14 info. Before that though, please respect some rules :)

1)We won't be talking about features until much later in the year.

2) No release date is set. Not even a rough or estimated one.

3) Feature suggestions/requests should be posted athttp://community.sig...read.php/306914

So the promised snippet of #FM14 news. As well as being on Mac & Windows, it will also be on Linux. With crossplay. One price for all 3 - so if you have a Macbook, Windows laptop and Linux desktop (for example) you'll be able to play the game on each of those machines via Steam.

For the more technically minded, the flavour of Linux we'll be supporting it Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS)

I'm well excited about this!

It's good to see more game companies getting on board with Linux gaming. I don't play football manager sims myself, but still it'll be good to see.

I find it interesting that he used this line (emphasis mine)...

Why is that only aimed at technically minded folk :p?

Steam seems to be making money off of Linux.

Sure if you don't include all the development costs and simply lump them in with the general steam development costs and put them under the windows header in the budget they do ;)

And it's not simply about making money either. If it costs a company a conservative 4 million to port a triple A game to linux, and they somehow manage to make more than that. they're not going to be happy making 200k, 500k, they might be "satisfied" with 1 million. but if there's a significant return they won't spend the money, and today chances are there won't be a return.

Great news, now if we can get WOW, Sim City, Fifa 14 and the other popular games onto linux then more users could switch.

If WoW ran natively under linux I would definitely have more of a reason to switch, Right now I use linux a lot in VM but as WoW and a couple other apps have to be emulated I don't run it natively.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
