"trick us into upgrading"

They're not trying to trick anyone. It's your choice whether or not you want to upgrade for the game or not.

They need to sell a product thus they need a selling point which nothing else can provide. It's called marketing.

The idea that you're being 'tricked' is comparable to a child saying that having to eat salad to be allowed to have chocolate is 'cruel'.(and whining about it)

@Sun-Tzu-GE @kente10

I'm on a PC thus I am a PC user. I like Windows 8.

And yes, they're trying to push Windows 8 down your throat. It's called marketing.

@Dealwithme14 @Cloud_imperium This isn't a game. The article quite clearly states that they're bringing CryENGINE to Linux. It's a game ENGINE which I'm pretty certain Crytek have all of the rights to.

EA only have a contract for Crysis, which this article is not about.

This is more than ditching Windows. This is going to bring much easier multi-platform development. OpenGL's scaling capabilities are awesome and it's not exclusive to Windows. That means that games can be developed for Linux, Windows, OSX and mobile platforms simultaneously.(Not that I support the latter :/)

So this is incredible news! :D

@plm3d_basic

No, they hate Windows in general. The only reason Windows has ever had an advantage is because Microsoft used a LOT of false advertising, misinforming developers in that OpenGL can't do this, DirectX can do that, etc.

@bunchanumbers @lazycomplife @grove12345 ... No, they're just putting 480p cameras in their phones... oh, but HD makes it so much easier for you to be watched, right? o.O

@epicgameresearc

You mean before it would have been obvious that the NSA were just sending soldiers to silence them, not because they happened to be responsible for a terrorism act or something stupid like that. (AKA. It would be quite stupid to fight the government alone. They would have had whoever tried to petition MURDERED or worse)

@edinko

1. They're still making current-gen games. The Wii U is, considering it's technical specs, current-gen. (though some believe the tablet makes it next-gen in terms of experience but that's irrelevant here :/)

2. The Wii U's not selling that badly. It does actually have quite a large user base. Certainly a large enough user base for Bethesda to consider porting their games to a console which has basically the same architecture as the 360.

What this means is that their writers and concept artists are either sub-par or quite greedy and demand millions of dollars just for designing a good game.

It's difficult but it's not THAT difficult, guys :/

Murders somebody - Survives as it was virtual - Does it again because it was easy the first time.

... Yeah, great idea :/
