What I got from their video is:
-New content for GW1, port to phones (insert meme here). So continued support for as long as it is viable.
-Full rework of the Current GW2 (bug fixes, changes, etc…), +1 Orr map and a new expac after the launch of GW3. So full continued support so long as it is viable.
I am excited for the next installment. I will most likely preorder the game, I have thouroughly enjoyed their current games and are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I wonder how action orriented they will make the game. I saw some speculation that it will be a lot like warframe.
This needs to be properly adressed and whoever did this and whoever greenlighted it should the full feel consequences.
All that being said I can not see this being a company wide intention. Just from a business point of view this is so stupid that it beggars believe. Even if the entire company are neo nazis they would know that openly espousing those ideas would result in losing customers and losing partners.
The big game publishers would not want to be associated with Nazis at least publicly so they might pull games from GoG to stop the reputational damage. Anyone that has at least a functioning brain would stop buying from them until there is a full explenation and proper resolution.
And considering GoG barely keeps their head above water, they can not afford this at all. Unless the new owner wants to tank the company and sell off the assets.
I was honnestly surprised when I saw the update. I first thought it was a joke but it was a quality update. So the Arenanet marketing curse strikes again.
I hope you will find the time in the future to play the game again.
Thank you so much, thank the programmers that can help my lazy ass.
My biggest problem with Linux is security. I want a relatively idiot proof setup like in Microsoft and Apple products. I do not to have to minutely setup the firewall or have to go into the terminal to run a virus scan.
Other than that I am not too demanding of my system I nearly never have a problem although recently the game A Hat in Time makes my pc kernal panic.
I do not know how well it fits your characteristics but Sea of Stars is a cool retro rpg you can play in coop.
Personally, I think you are probably stuck with Windows for now, since I imagine you really don’t want to learn a whole slew of new programs (that might or might not do everything you want) in my very uninformed opinion.
Internet connectivity should be mostly fine but that can depend on hardware sometimes.
Gaming is in general not a problem if you have Steam, Heroic, Lutris, Bottles and Protonup QT. But look into ProtonDB to see which runs and which doesn’t.
But for much of the professional software it will become a hassle. You could look into CrossOver by Codeweavers (a paid version of Wine) and see what compatability that brings. But for the most part I think you would probably have to setup a Windows Virtual Machine with GPU Passthrough.
Weren’t there just credible leaks on a sequel to Half Life Alyx that may or may not be Half Life 3.
We will see what happens. I am just happy they will keep supporting the other games.
