If like me you found Counter Strike: Global Offensive to be a little bit of a hog this should help. Speaking on the CS blog the developers noted memory use on Linux and Mac has been lowered.

One thing we can thank Valve for is their amazing support of their titles, and we can only expect the game to get better and better on Linux.

Full changelog:

— Sadly fixed a hilarious bug where players could ride pigeons

Hopefully CSGO gets ported to the Source 2 engine like Dota 2 will be.

This is Valve's flagship game currently, I think you can rely on it.

I didn't even know this was a "bug" now I'm upset I can't try it!

will this mean the game will run slower on low-end machines? in that case source 1 is more than ok.

Dota 2 is getting a custom map editor, I can't wait!

I'm also looking foreward to Golden Eye Source on Source SDK 2013 if any game devs wanna go robb their git repo & help out.

Really looking at this new Racing game called Distance that just launched early access, It's been so long without hope for a great Linux racer :( Could this be the one?
