Thats great, but what we really want them to release is a working Vulkan support for desktop GPU's (they already have mobile working for sometime now). A few weeks ago I read that it would be about 2 months to get it up and running. So hopefully by October we can test some desktop Vulkan action.

Wake me up when they got Vulkan running nicely on Linux.

I remember when Mantle and Metal were announced there were developers saying they implemented support after a mere couple of nights in their basements.

No launcher for linux, that means still zero access to their asset store and even to their own sample projects that they "released" so long ago for linux users.

What an utterly uninteresting release.
