Fusion 3, the next generation game engine and editor from Clickteam will support Linux
28 Sep 2016 at 8:46 am UTC Likes: 1

I doubt that very much that you will get a free upgrade to Fusion 3 if you buy with the Humble Bundle. Isn't anywhere mentioned by Humble Bundle. Why not ask Clickteam for yourself or is it to difficult to write an email? ;P

On the other hand there will be most likely a Free Edition of Fusion 3, as you can download a Fusion 2.5 Free Edition for FREE already on their web-page.

Aveyond 4, a popular Windows RPG released for Linux
24 Sep 2016 at 7:51 am UTC

As I have the games on Steam already, will we get the Linux versions there as well or do we have to buy the games again?

Hint: Other developers have been able to sneak in a Linux version without supporting it officially. Not even a logo on the store page. Just saying :D

(Please do not buy from this link, it is the Windows version)
Suggestion: At least add the forum links to the product description or how do you expect potential buyers to find out? :)

Quoting: lucifertdarkI don't care what anyone, even Valve, says but Steam IS a form of DRM, close your steam account & see how many games you have still in your possession.
Did this once and I came around ~80% of the games are still playable :).

CD PROJEKT RED replied to me about The Witcher 3 and Linux, flat-out denying to answer any questions

Well, that is not really a surprise. If you think about what **** CDPR & GOG has fed us on why they are not supporting Linux. Meanwhile we have Linux-Support on GOG, but many Linux-Natives are missing, which are on Steam. Or that the Galaxy-Client is still not available for Linux. Must be really difficult to port that joke of a Windowsclient. Or think about the decisions which GOG makes. Latest fun: Amerello DRM Free Edition :(. I wonder every time: WHAT THE HELL IS GOG THINKING? I don't understand them.

Quoting: maodzedunHonestly, I'm pretty sure it's probably Valve's fault, so I don't know what all the hate for CDPR is. Valve announced The Witcher III was being ported for Linux, not CDPR. My guess is Valve blew the lid off something that was never definitive and then CDPR had to take all the blame. I mean, they never announced it on GoG, did they?
I doubt that very much that this has been announced by Valve only. At some point CDPR hat a SteamOS planned, otherwise it wouldn't have been announced by Valve. I think they had some sort of Agreement at this time. But CDPR canceled it as they noticed that it will not work with Wine /sarcasm off

Random Access Murder is quite possibly the most annoying game ever made

Quoting: Crazy PenguinA TRON-Game in that Style would be nice :)
Something like this [External Link]?
Oh God! NO! :D

As I said TRON I meant TRON. I want Light Cycles, Battle Tanks and so on.
More like Vektor Wars: http://store.steampowered.com/app/365760/ [External Link]

Maybe with the possibility to create your own "programs" in game :)

Humble? Once a glorious Knight of Light fighting for DRM-Free Games and Linux-Support has turned to the Dark Side and has become a cheap Reseller for DRM-Infested Keys which gives a damn about quality. All in the name of Charity! So I'm not really surprised that they have picked that game.

Sorry, but Humble has become one of biggest disappointments over the last years :(

Well, the game has an interesting idea, but is a huge fail!

IMHO Vektor Wars does a lot better, but has no Multiplayer yet *sigh*

A TRON-Game in that Style would be nice :)

Dear Valve and Steam Machines OEMs, you have it all wrong

Quoting: TheRiddickIntel and NVIDIA being the only option for Steam Machines has pretty much kept them a failure for quite some time. I don't think I have seen a single steam machine offer a single AMD transistor!
It is the best option right now even with Windows. It is not the vendors fault if AMD is a constant failure especially if it comes to Linux.

Quoting: TheRiddickIts below console spec. Buy a PS4 or XB1.. profit.
Can I do anything else with it besides playing games from a very limited pool of games & apps? Most important: Can I run Linux on it?

No? So no profit at all! HUGE FAIL!

Sorry, but I have no use for a locked down Console with PC-Hardware.

Quoting: wolfyrionHe is 4 years old and the games/titles plus the performance that the Xbox has is far more superior than the currently Steam machine.
There is more then one Steam machine, which has better performance. Games depends on which ones you like. For me it's XBox:SteamOS 0:"a lot" xD

Quoting: wolfyrionWe have spend like 300 Euro + 1 game included.
We bought also some Lego Games as well because he loves Lego Titles for another 100 Euro and thats it.
Sure, you bought it for the 4 year old. Yeah, Right! Tell your fairy tales someone else ;P

Quoting: wolfyrionNow we all enjoying the awesomeness of the console... and I am so happy that I didnt get him a Steam Machine.
Gotcha!;P

Quoting: wolfyrionI challenge you to tell me some SteamOS Titles for a 4 year old boy that he would have fun...
The answer is simple :

Well he wouldnt be able play the titles he really wanted to play but I Would enforce him to play the titles that were available for him if any would satisfy him.
First of all, I wonder what kind of Godfather you are. A 4 year old shouldn't play computer games at all. You would have a done a far better job as Godfather if you would have bought him "real" LEGO for that Money.

Second you still can install Windows on a Steam Machine and get access to the full Steam Library. Which is a hell lot more games then you can get on the XBone. But we know already that you didn't buy it for him ;P

Quoting: Ehvis@Cheeseness, Good job on the mighty penguin showing purple tentacle who's boss. Love that picture!
Yes, me too! It is awesome! Perfect Desktop-Wallpaper :D

A bit higher resolution would be nice, so e.g. 1920x1080 :)
One step ahead of you. You can find that here [External Link].
Fantastic! Thanks a lot! :)

Quoting: skinnyrafI spent €900 on my Zotac Nen. Not too little, I know. But I did my homework and the best preassembled itx system I could get for this money would have similar components just with 970 instead of 970m. But mini itx is huge compared with Nen.

So at least the price point of Nen is actually pretty good.
It is damn good! Have two of them xD.

Sure you could build a better gaming machine for that money, but not in this little tiny size. You can't even hear it. It stands right in front of me on my Desktop 30-40 cm away. In contrary I can hear a console like XBone or PS4 from 3-4 Meters away, which is kinda annoying.

Zotac has done damn good job with their nifty little ZBox :)
