Way to go!

Meanwhile CD Projekt still thinks that eON approach was a good choice, I guess.

It looks like a wine wrapper. At least thats whats in the run.sh (or something the like), but it fails to start the game due to some missing files/folders.

Soon you'll call yourself Gaming on Steam. This game was available for a long time on Desura. It's not too good, by the way.

Quoting: abelthorneWhat makes you think it's a native client? the "launch/2/executable" line? Can't it be the Wine wrapper?

Icculus only does native ports.

Icculus wouldn't be involved if it was a Wine wrapper. AFAIK he has never been involved with non-native ports.

Quoting: pbIt only shows 495 titles here: ...

Weird, if you do this search it shows 500, but yours shows 495 for me as well.

That's probably because the 500 counter includes unreleased games as well. When sorting by release date, these games disappear. I'm just speculating though, because among the games with no release date is Gear Up as well as Prison Architect or Metro: Last Light, while the latter two are obviously available, only have the date broken. So yeah, let's just stick to the official counter at http://store.steampowered.com/browse/linux/ :-)

Damn...660 games!

Quoting: BubexelIsn't a bit expensive?

In line with kickstarter where $45 was the minimum for beta access.

If GOL was really serious about this, GOL would remove and disconnect from anything Facebook.

Well only if developers add it in I guess, not entirely sure how it works right now as they haven't given much info.

Quoting: FutureSuture

Quoting: liamdaweIt will support "cross-play" which is online gaming with Steam titles that support it as well.

I am not sure what this means. Is it now a feature to play PC games online with other PC gamers?

A lot of games on Steam use steam servers, meaning if you had a drm free version with online you wouldn't be able to play together. This means for GOG cross-play games you will be able to.

Oh, like this title, for example?

Quoting: GOGMultiplayer notice: The DRM free version of Brutal Legend is single-player only.

Does that mean that once Galaxy hits, this particular title and others like it will finally get online multiplayer?

The number crossed 400 less than two months ago. Considering the current pace at which games are greenlit - and the plans to drop the greenlight process altogether - the number is likely to double by next spring, but sadly the quality of releases is another story.

Nope. Still "Missing executable".

That said, releasing before steam machines is probably a good call for developers so they can get bugs ironed out before then.

Yeah, they've got an army of free _very motivated_ beta testers at the moment - they would be wise to use us :)

10€ say it won't be native.

50€ say my money will go elsewhere then. I have enough native games to play and support with my money.

Quoting: GuestGreat news! The old client could be made to work on Linux using Wine, but I never managed to make the current client work. (To be fair I have not tried in some time). Any idea of what language/framework they are using?

Let me point you to the GOG-Wiki: http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Download_Clients

1000 by the end of the year actually seems feasible, seems to be exponential at the moment. But the news that steam machines are delayed may slow things down. That said, releasing before steam machines is probably a good call for developers so they can get bugs ironed out before then.

To put the number in perspective, PS4 and xbone have under 200 games each, so that's more than both combined (most of which aren't exclusives so even 300 unique games between the two would be extremely generous).

Obviously, there's still the lack of AAA games, but given that most of Linux gaming's future rests on steam machines and that no console in history has had even close to 500 games at launch (will be much more by then too) then the future looks pretty bright. To put things in perspective again, the xbox 360 had 18 games at launch and only a handful of those were half-decent AAA titles, the rest sucked. If I was still a console gamer now, I would buy a steam machine over a console hands down. Its success will just depend on the marketing behind it.
