And how do you come to this conclusion with a certainty, that you can say that in a forum? I don't think he will, there is no evidence for that. Or does he have a bad track record?

Isn't this a good thing? Similar to Valve, now the owner of GOG should be independent and not try to please share holders. He is the original founder, so its not like some random ex EA CEO or someone rich from Arabia or like that. Unless there is evidence, I give him the benefit of doubt and hope for the best.

And hopefully he will support Linux... but that is a bit of random thought.

I say always, if you can wait, then you probably don't need it right now. Then wait. Otherwise, we don't know much and how it will compare, and if its worth the price. So we cannot see in the future. If you are unsure, wait and see how it compares. If you need it badly now, just buy the current one.

Valve can count to 3.

SteamOS 3.

That's why I don't like closed source proprietary. They decide to stop the support.

"Brodie" mentioned. To be fair on the Arch side, they are clear the system could break with an update and you should always read the Arch news in case of manual intervention. You can't fault Archlinux for users not following the instructions. This is pretty much what Arch stands for.

You mean one can play ships from Star Citizen in Squadron 42? Otherwise, how would the parents have ships already playing the game, if its not released. I'm a bit confused about what is meant here.

You know the game was revolutionary back then? Compare this to games before Super Mario Bros. Kojima is and was always a visionary looking into the future. He extrapolated the possibilities and thought whats possible in the future. Kojima knew the games would not stop at that level.

As an example, based on the very first computers people already envisioned talking robots and artificial intelligence, based on the technology they had back then. There were people thinking about internet before the internet, because they were good visionary into the future.

How is that silly? He was way forward thinking. And correct.
