Since I see a lot of confusion about where to buy Linux games from, I decided to write up some information for you on how to make sure you're counted for Linux.

Welcome to issue 51 of The Funding Crowd, where we have as many as three biggies and a bunch of exciting hidden gems to cover.

Valve look like they will become the ultimate trolls with a new leak. It looks like they included some files directly related to Half-Life 3 in a recent Dota 2 update.

With earlier news about another Saints Row game, a member of the community sent word that Virtual Programming have updated their website to include Saints Row 2 & 3 as in development.

Pretty safe to say Quasar caught my eye, and not just because Linux is going to be a first class citizen, but it looks great and I want to get my hands on it.

As usual Steam has produced their monthly hardware survey, and also as usual there is hardly any change across the platforms.

Some games are so bad, they actually become good, Dinosaur Hunt: Africa Contract is not one of those games.

xoreos is a FLOSS project aiming to reimplement BioWare's Aurora engine (and derivatives). It's at an early stage, but progress is being made.

The developer of Super Win the Game has written a blog post about how Super Win the Game did sales wise.

Sad news folks, Alien: Isolation has been delayed for Linux. There is no set release date now, but this gives them time to polish it up.

Harmful buying habits is a topic that I've more than once gotten quite loud and obnoxious about on our IRC channel before. So, I figured I would write about these habits in an editorial form to be loud and obnoxious here too. So, let's talk about some shady and possibly harmful stuff.

Grand Ages: Medieval is a blend of many different strategy games, but is it any good? Thanks to our friends at Kalypso Media I got the chance to try it today.

Another video has surfaced from SIGGRAPH 2015, I somehow missed that it was posted last week, but the Valve section in particular is mighty interesting.

Earlier I had some time to sit down and play through nearly two hours of SOMA, the new horror game from Frictional Games and these are my initial thoughts.

Looks like AMD finally spoke in public about their plans for Vulkan, and the news is looking pretty good.

It's always fun when I see lots of websites talking about how many games Linux now has on Steam, as the number itself doesn't really mean all that much.

The Funding Crowd has once again returned to keep you up to date on the latest news in crowdfunding for Linux.

It's time for another GOL Asks, and today you "What game are you looking forward to playing?". This doesn't have to be unreleased games, even one sitting in your list waiting to be played with.

I am so shocked with the performance of the Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 PRO Rev.2 that I decided to give it a small write up.

AMD Catalyst 15.9 is about to be released, and I imagine it will make a few people quite happy with their progress. Update: It's now out!
