  • I don’t trust this company, as they hate Linux. Wouldn’t use their engine if I target Linux, as we don’t know how they will support it in the future. I am not against open sourcing it, that’s not my issue. In fact I applaud it. But can’t trust them. Anyone supporting this project will help making their games better, who do not give a shit about Linux support.

    Is there any technical reason to use s&box engine over any other Open Source engine? I ask that from a gamer perspective and don’t know all the differences.
















  • Money is money. Especially if its only porting over an existing game, that does not require too much money for, as it is in an engine made for this anyway. And it shows there is potential for grows. I don’t know about the numbers you just throw in, and how it compares in reality. So not commenting on that. Also the GAmes and Network Services, are these only Sony releases or are there third party games included?

    But what we do know is, that some games like Helldivers 2 are far more successful than some other games they have. If the games were put day one on Steam besides the Playstation release, and without requiring Playstation account on first day, it would probably have made more money.

    I wouldn’t dismiss this as just “nice extra market”. Otherwise why would Sony give up the exclusivity of their first party titles? Steam grows rapidly and is already bigger than the Playstation 5 user base will ever be.
