It's basically CryEngine 4, but they decided to drop the number and capitalise the lot, apparently because of how big a departure it is from CryEngines 1 through 3.
Remember that, in terms of Steam at least, the majority of - if not all - games that are available on multiple platforms only require a single purchase to allow you to play them on any of those platforms (much like Sony's Crossplay) so while they may not see direct "Linux sales" I would imagine that Valve provides them with stats to show which platforms the games are being *played* on, which is probably more useful here.
XP is over 12 years old, that's one hell of a *free* long term support package. Is there any other OS available that has a 12 year support lifecycle? Ubuntu's LTS releases have a 5 year support cycle, Apple doesn't have a published official policy for OSX but it's about 4 years on average. RHEL comes the closest I can find at between 10 & 13 years depending on the version, but you have to pay for that so it's not directly comparable.
XP has had a pretty good run of it, all things considered and if Windows 8 wasn't such a PR mess, this "forced" upgrade would probably a lot less contentious.
True, but if Gmail was the thing that everyone associated with email and the only service anyone outside of the email field had really heard of, then it'd do serious damage to email's reputation.
It would have been fine if they'd kept it in their mattresses, but instead they gave it all to a guy who used to manage Magic The Gathering card swaps.
Why is everyone seemingly obsessed with trying to produce knock-offs of software that's already in a popularity decline?
"Is X the next Snapchat?" No, because people are already bored of Snapchat and moving on to whatever the latest tool for sending people semi-anonymous pictures of their genitals is.
If I ever went through someone's emails, documents, IM logs or anything else private on the company network without someone from HR physically sitting with me, I'd be fired on the spot.
I feel really sorry for anyone who works somewhere where IT are allowed to gain indiscriminate access to all your stuff just because they're bored on a Friday afternoon.

That may well be true, but I know that none of the 3 NHS Trusts in which I worked were able to import mental or sexual health records into the national system because they weren't able to stop people who had access to a patient's general medical record from also being able to see the mental & sexual health portions of the record if they were on the system.
Rather than defining a common data standard for patient records and having a centralised lookup system that facilitated record transfer between locations, they instead created a dreadfully designed, poorly tested, feature-poor, monolithic system intended to replace the hundreds of clinical applications that everyone was already used to using.
"Here, now you have to use this application with a totally unintuitive interface that's totally different to your current system. It won't work properly on ~20% of the machines you install it on, despite basically just being a Citrix app. We won't import half the existing records and the ones we do can't include any mental or sexual health information because we didn't bother with fine-grained access controls. Oh and it's not finished yet and probably never will be so you'll have to continue using all your old apps in parallel anyway."
By that logic you should also exempt organ transplants, blood transfusions and any other medical procedure that any group, religious or otherwise, objects to. In other words, you might as well give the fuck up and stop providing any coverage at all.
Given the amount of thinly-veiled paedophilia on the Daily Mail website ("Phwoar! This 14 year old looks all grown up, nudge nudge, wink wink") it really should be on there already.

No, this is CRYENGINE not CryEngine.

How much "game-changing functionality" can you really work into a fucking coffee machine?
Oh totally, the Beeb would be so much better if it produced the same level of lowest-common-denominator shite as ITV and Channel 5.

Get it on PC.

"Sure, we left the windows open, but the door was impenetrable"
Yeah, it's clear.

A maximum of 2 years in jail, in the UK at least.

No, it was a terrible idea.

I heard that the data was acquired through a recently patched Snapchat exploit and is being shared with the public to raise awareness on the issue,
Not to nitpick, but isn't the collapse of the universe *always* closer than ever before?

The "Night of the Doctor" prelude already established the McGann Doctor (including radio plays) as canon.
Yes, the "original" Hunger Games which is nothing at all like Battle Royale...
