Quoting: wolfyrionAll great news and so on but tbh the only game I want to play in 2016 is Street Fighter V and no news for it and not even a SteamOS/Linux icon on pre-orders yet..... Should I worry a bit :( ??

They never said it would be a day one release, it will come out later.

Quoting: adolsonI wish there was a "Same answers as last month" option that would auto-fill everything for me. Yes, I am that lazy!

Never going to happen, sorry. I might tweak things now and then, and don't want things to get broken in any way.

It certainly is something that's worth talking about.

It's yet another reason why developers using open solutions is a good option, don't lock out/make it shit for AMD users.

Quoting: borartrMaybe for GOL: I would highly appreciate if Intel runtests could be made with tested games. No deep testing, just try if it runs. I e.g. bought Victor Vran and was not able to play it due to missing opengl support (officially all intel graphics since 4000 support 3.3).

Afraid I don't have anything with an intel GPU.

Tropico 5 - Complete Collection now available for SteamOS & Linux

Quoting: devlandIt was recently also released on gog but only the windows version.
This trend needs to stop. :(

This is usually down to GOG, not the game developer. GOG curate their store, so they say what goes on there more so than with Steam.

@tomtomme and anyone else who wants to derail articles, please keep junk to the forum where it belongs.
Quoting: tuubi
Quoting: tomtommeAnd as gol It would be even better if the language would be kept more professional, and less emotional.
You're forgetting that this site isn't and has no pretensions to being "professional". It's more or less a personal blog with a few contributing editors and a forum. And that's a fact many of us appreciate.

Sure, GOL is gathering quite a following, but that's no reason to suddenly start emulating a commercial "news" portal / hype pusher / advertisement outlet / clickbait hell. We've got enough of those, and I for one have no time or patience for them.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Quoting: tuubi
Quoting: tomtommethe Author was criticizing other sites for not being professional enough.
No, he was accusing them of bad journalism and lack of fact-checking, at which point people started calling him unethical and unprofessional.

But let's not derail the comment thread any further or it'll be closed as well.

Bingo. Never even once mentioned professionalism from the other sites (to which they really aren't, come on Phoronix repeatedly calls open-source projects "shit" because of their graphics).

Don't make me lock this one as well, articles are not the place to repeatedly discuss the same thing spread over multiple articles because I locked one, again, we have a forum if you take issue with the way I do things.

I will be trying it at each version where possible. The game is great when it works, and I have high hopes for it.

Quoting: ScarecrowDMNice!
I see a lot of angry posts on steam about devs being greedy and stuff (I don't really care why), but I bought this game a while ago and I'm enjoying it since.

I grabbed this one in a sale, so I'm quite happy with any kind of extra stuff. :)

Really? They are one of the least greedy developers around. Regular updates with videos, and good support after the "final release" as we can see.
