To split up the Vulkan API news a little, here's a game! Earth 2160 the strategy game from 2006 is now available on Linux, and it's been bundled with Wine.
I don't mind old games using Wine, as long as it works well (and Wine generally does for older titles).

I saw the article and started to think - if it's below 5 euro I'm buying it, especially earth 2150 was the game that I was playing as a child (and I had not a legal copy :( ). When I saw the price I started to think that I should buy at least 7 of copies.
Anyway, game bought and I hope there will be a lot of people buying it as well.

Well if it is the same as Eador : Legacy of the Master Thief or even Baldur from GoG I just skip them, not working well unfortunately

Quoting: gojulWell if it is the same as Eador : Legacy of the Master Thief or even Baldur from GoG I just skip them, not working well unfortunatelyI indeed had some bugs with Earth 2160, but it's nowhere as bad as Eador, which promised a Linux port to begin with and just released the game bundled with Wine without even checking if it was compatible at all, or contributing to the project. Also I bought Flatout 2 from GOG and had no problem whatsoever, they've been doing great as far as Wine wrapping is concerned.
[Edit]: I read a bit quickly, I think you mean Eador: Masters of the Broken World, don't you? (A game I now call Eador: Masters of the Broken Port)

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionI just shot them an email regarding a Linux version now that it's on another storefront. Will try to update if they reply.
QuoteHello,
We continue to expand our Linux catalog and we do our best to add Linux-supported games to our offer as often as possible.
Many of our premiere indie titles offer native Linux versions already and we're constantly working on adding Linux compatibility to our back-catalog games as well. It's hard to tell when--or if--a specific game will undergo that treatment, as it requires not only technical work, but also licensing agreements. We hope, however, that you'll find our existing Linux catalog already quite impressive.
Regards,
I don't know what I was expecting.

How about cross-platform multiplayer? Has anyone tried it? There is no indication of cross-platform multiplayer in the store page.
