Trying to mess with the settings.

The multi-monitor support is a bit pants.

It displays on the 4K monitor I have in a tiny 1080p section of the screen, the rest is black. No option to go higher than 1920x1080 resolution.

I really don't get DLC hate. It's how developers are able to keep games going for so long. Most games have DLC now and the GOTY edition is cheap.

Will livestream when i have eaten and got to grips with it.

The Linux content isn't actually linked to any CD Keys, so we won't get anything until they fix it.

Stardew Valley developer says Linux is a top priority, woohoo

Quoting: Mountain Man"Mac/Linux ports are one of my top priorities. I will start looking into it seriously very soon, I promise."

Translation: "Mac/Linux ports aren't my top priority, and I haven't even started looking into it. I make no promises."

If your game isn't coded from the very beginning with Linux and Mac support in mind then it's obviously not a top priority.

Well we should never put too much hope in promises, as too many times they end up not working out.

It doesn't mean it's not a top priority now. As a developer who works on the code behind GOL myself, I have a big list of things to do. Some things have to get done first, so I sympathise a bit especially being one guy like this developer.

You keep confusing me.

He confuses everyone.

PAYDAY 2 looks like it's getting closer to a SteamOS & Linux version

Quoting: PicoboomI'll not refuse to play a game simply because the developer or publisher "lied," changed their mind, or were simply the victims of capitalist Cerberus of time, resources, and a capricious marketplace. If I did, I wouldn't own Divinity: Original Sin, or Stanley Paradox, or so many other solid quality titles.

Having played Payday 2 since before any DLC, after 1,200+ hours I've seen and played it all. I boycotted the game briefly when the micro-transactions were first introduced and began playing again when the skin/mods were made available in-game, without purchase. The little bonuses the mods add are negligible and unnoticeable in general play, really.

Payday 2 is an action-soaked, wildly-replayable co-op shooter par excellence. It's often on sale for a very modest sum, and a real boon to the Linux community's game Library.

An excellent post that sums up my thoughts exactly.

GOL SteamOS & Linux Survey results for February

Quoting: nullzeroOpen data request:

Hey, are there any chances to open up the data, at least last year's one for 3rd parties to do some data analysis?

Just read steamboiler's "Three kinds of linux gamer" post where their linux gamer's survey data was used to build clusters of similiar linux gaming patterns.

Cheers!
I can look up posting a link to the survey data, since we don't take any personal indentifiers what so ever I have no problem with it.
