That's important to me as well. Ever since I ditched my last Windows install, playing PoE has become less fun, because it (presumably due to weak optimisation of shader handling) makes wine choke on hardware which handles significantly more demanding games handily (e.g. Skyrim on ultra and Fallout 4 on very high work fine with wine).

So GGG... are there any tangible plans for a, say, Ubuntu version?

Side note: this would actually make me buy a supporter pack, which I'm reluctant to do for a Windows game.

What is the future of Grinding Gear Games? Will GGG continue to just support Path of Exile or could there be more games or other works in the future?

What happens if Path of Exile is so successful that it outlives the company that made it? Since the game is online only, who would host the servers?

What version control system do you use for the game's source code?

How many lines long is the code?

I'm interested in the technical aspects of this wonderful game that is PoE. So these are technical questions for the devs :
- is PoE client a data centric game or an entity component system based game or a bus/event system game ? Or a mix? Some news things are done so fast that I'm pretty sure it's ECS but no a lot of people in the industry have this approach.
- How large is the code base ?
- What's the most complex piece of code in the game (crypto excepted)?
- What's the piece of code you (as a team or as an individual) are the most proud of ?
- If you had a magic tool (or wand) that autocode a feature on request but only one and only once, what would you ask it to do ? (and yeah Pants are an ok request).

I would like an option to buy an character name.
So that when you die and delete it to start again somebody can not take the name.
Than you can only buy character names from ones you already own.
To avoid the il buy the name and next time he dies he cant use the name anymore.
And otherwise an option that when you delete the character the name stays saved for your acount for maybe 5-10 minutes.

Hi GGG have you considered using tools like transifex or crowdin to speed up the game translation ?

From my experience it worth the try :)

Hello and thanks.

My questions are:

- Will there be replacer for unique kaom's heart (+1000 life) item or more items with more life? (like kaom roots that was added)

- Will there be Iron reflexes passive in Unique item? (it would give more builds to do)

- Will there be more high level uniques soon?

thanks.

Will the purchase of a supporter pack or mtx ever be a requirement to use global chat channel other than channel #1?

For some reason there appears to be a direct correlation of player/game respect related to the amount of money spent and the level of courtesy

With the whole Tempest and Warbands additions to the game do you guys feel like you can make it better but fear that the community might not like what you do to them? Also is there a reason you guys didn't make it so that when you walk into a tempest it activates instead having to wait for it to activate? And Another thing is can we get an option to play the race events outside of actually doing them because I always want to play endless ledge but when the time comes to play it during the race season I get to play it maybe once or twice a week and I wish there was an option to play a race event by myself so that I can play it more often.?

hi.

Q1: Are claws going to get better? now "sai" gives 6% block, and claw gives 2% leech. Lmao daggers are more defensive.

Q2: Do u still have some crazy ideas like keystones CI, Mom, blood magic and uniques like Aegis aurora, Shavrones wrappings?

Q3: What is average number of active accounts playing simultaneously daily?

Q4: Is there plans in making act4 theme hideout?

Q5: Are there any plans in implementing pants (leggings) into the game in near future?

Q6: Is there any discussions about 6-th damage type, like "magic" damage with weird properties like chaos damage has?

Q7: Are there any left unintroduced supporter designed uniques?

Q8: What is most likely to be implemented to the game from "feedback and suggestions" at present time: keystones, uniques, skills or some new content (monsters/future expansions' content/story)?
