Quoting: sakurazukaNice thing is that one of Linux GOG is actually a free game so anyone can try it out.
There are two, actually! Dragonsphere and Stargunner are both free. Once some ScummVM titles hit, I'm sure we'll see Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress and Teen Agent (also free) being available to Linux users as well.
Why you will see "Beneath A Steel Sky" on GOG?
Its opensource and you can get it on your Distribution for free. I have it over 8 years in my openSuSE resopitories.
Have you ever thought that some people don't want to trawl through their package manager for games?

I would say Ubuntu & Mint are in fact quite different. Given that they have completely different window managers alone can make games behave differently when full screen.

Anyway stop moaning about distributions people. Be happy!

Quoting: wleoncioAccidental? How so? Did they later say it was not coming to SteamOS?

I will link it in the article.
Valve Have Another New Design For The Steam Controller
23 July 2014 at 6:55 pm UTC
Quoting: stssI prefer a D-Pad over joystick if the game was designed for it. But a joystick is good too and I think is a better choice overall because it allows more functionality for different types of games

I think that's the kicker here. They are going for compatibility while still having their brand new touchpad style as the main focus. A stick serves the purpose as both a D-PAD & as a directional stick if you want/need it.
Valve Looking For A SteamOS Engineer

Quoting: ImantsI am little conserned that they alredy do not have someone like that

Employers looking for new staff doesn't mean they don't have them already, but it tells us that they need more.
Clockwork Empires From Gaslamp Games Should Be On Linux In August

By that I meant port. I have edited the article to be more clear.
Towns Building Sim Is Alive Again, Version 14d Released
19 July 2014 at 5:51 pm UTC
Quoting: ImantsI am little confused didn't v14 came out last year?

When developers decided to change a letter instead of just saying v15 it can get confusing.

This is 14 "d".
Get Your Dancing Shoes On, Crypt Of The Necrodancer Comes To Linux Soon
18 July 2014 at 3:57 pm UTC
The problem is if you start sugar coating a game like this, then the difficulty ramping up takes too long and the game gets unnecessarily drawn out.

For Necrodancer it's quite hard to begin with anyway, so it feels about right. That said I haven't played the second zone enough yet to really feel its pain.
Epic Games Helps Blender By Becoming A Sponsor
18 July 2014 at 3:02 pm UTC
The difference with Epic over Unity to name one example is this: How long did it take Unity to fix Linux mouse issues? Too long.

Epic has code access with subscriptions, so people can jump in and fix it themselves.

That already makes them win.
