Ryan "Icculus" Gordon [Official Site, Twitter], the man responsible for maintaining many development tools like SDL 2 and who ported many games to Linux, is looking for new games to port. The fun thing is, he doesn't require payment since he's funded by his Patreon.
He's had contracts with Valve, Epic Games, Activision, Google, Crytek and plenty more. He has a lot of awesome work under his belt!
From his new post:
This is a pretty interesting way to get Linux ports done. Ryan has hit over $750 a month on Patreon now, so any ports he does as a result of this directly, will be funded by his Patreon, not the original game developer.
I've seen the discussion of crowdfunding Linux ports come up here and there, but this is one of the times that it might work. So, if you know any, send the developer to him and we may see more Linux games get ported as a result.
Will be very fun to see what comes out of this.

Quote[…]If there's a developer that you think would be interested in getting a Linux port done by a guy that they don't have to pay, let me know. Hell, let them know about me! Let's see if we can get some conversations going with some developers that are sitting on the fence!

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
I wonder how many of those are bots. I've seen some squads with names like "Timmy", "TimmyXXX", "Timmyabc", "Timmylol". I think it's safe to assume that no party of real buddies are using such names.
On top of that, there are some rumors of many AFK bots in the game, who do nothing else but constantly get into a new round to farm some BP. With BP you get chests. Now you can sell the chest or whatever is inside. I've seen a picture lately where ~25 people were AFK and came down on the same spot.
Edit: But... that's way offtopic. Ryan Gordon is way more important to talk about! :)

Someone should put him in touch with the developers of the Niddhog games.
