Tomorrow isn't just my birthday, it's also the day Feral Interactive seem to have something "special" planned for Linux & Mac gamers.

Feral Interactive are teasing us with a picture somehow related to an unannounced Linux and Mac port.

You like new ports right? Well Aspyr Media have something up their sleeves for tomorrow, looks like we could be busy.

War for the Overworld came out of early access with a bit a shaky launch, and now it’s been polished up a bit I gave it a look and spoke to the developer.

A sad day in Linux gaming history could soon be upon us, as the owner of LinuxGames.com currently plans to shut it down. Although one of their contributors wants to continue it, and Icculus has offered to buy the domain.

Summer has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere and it's been quite noticeable so far, both in the raise of temperatures and the decline of crowdfunding projects.

We know that Unity is working towards bringing their editor over to Linux, and this little update on their official website slipped past me.

A fellow named Devin White has written up a lengthy blog post on his experience using the final iteration of the Steam Controller, and it's well worth a read.

Today I'd like to cover a game I didn't know existed only a few days back, a game out of a genre that is heavily under represented on our beloved platform, a(n old-school) sandbox MMORPG named Albion Online!

Demands for the Linux version of a game can be sometimes quite vocal, but its actual release does not seem to bring much, if any, profit. This is not because Linux users are not willing to pay in general; rather, it means that targeting the platform is more expensive than the price that can be reasonably charged for a single copy.

I have noticed a very scary drift towards accepting wrapper based ports. Working as a developer and also a long term Linux user I can only believe that it is due to misunderstanding of the processes, restrictions, and licenses that go into porting a game.

Well that came fast. Six years ago I started tinkering with the first iteration of GamingOnLinux, and here we are still going strong.
