Hopefully now that MS has changed Havok will continue to work on Linux. 10 years ago this would have been worrying.



I doubt MS changed much when it comes to gaming. They still push their lock-in and didn't even join Vulkan working group (which is all about collaborative industry effort). So anything gaming related that they buy is a reason to worry.


That would explain why Minecraft is unplayable on PS4 ever since the acquisition. /s

Microsoft has the same amount of reasons to "ban" Sony as Apple has to "ban" Samsung. Despite the lawsuits and disagreement Apple still buys a lot of their chips (including their core processor [1]) from Samsung because at the end of the day business is business!

Sure, wait until Xbox only stuff will appear in it. Don't complain then that you weren't warned.

And FYI, Minecraft was never uniformly supported on all platforms to begin with. Some always had more features than others.


Agree I wonder what that will mean for Linux gaming.
