Well, we will see if it appears on Steam. It seems that Zuxxez Entertainment AG (former: TopWare Interactive AG) is insolvent and requested insolvency proceedings two days ago.

Search for "topware interactive" for details.

Quoting: psymin"Did you buy a Steam Machine?"

I built four of them, does that count? And is it asking if I bought one in January or ever?

No, I think it is for SteamOS Steam Machines only, e.g. the ones from Alienware, Zotac, aso.
But good point. I think we could another point like "I have build my own".

For the second point I think ever otherwise something "this month" should be added.

BTW: Would you mind to share your Builds? Maybe in the forum? Pictures if available would be great too :)

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

Agreed!

On the Storepage of GOG you can find the reason:

Multiplayer Notice: Please note that the GOG Galaxy Client is required to access Multiplayer

GOG would be better work on to improve their Linux support.

Yes, they should put their efforts in the Galaxy Client for Linux now. Otherwise they become less attractive. Especially if I see Games now, for which I need the Client to play them. Wonderful so we have DRM back on GOG too. Selfmade, ok, but still DRM :(

Quoting: GuestAnd about Early Access I don't think it's a good feature. I think these Early Access stuffs most of the times makes developers lazy and abandon development.

But I have to disagree with you on that topic. Sure that is the risk if you buy EA-Games. But don't blame all of developers for a few idiots. Most developers deliver what they have promised and still adding features and content to it after release.

Quoting: TheBoss

Quoting: ricki42Just got Aspyr's GameAgent newsletter (http://blog.gameagent.com/weekly-roundup-questioning-steam-os/ [External Link], and they link to that story with the only comment

Quoting: GameAgentZotac’s SN970 is great hardware, but Valve needs to take a long hard look at Steam OS.

Admittedly, GameAgent describes itself as a "Mac gaming hub", but since they sell Linux games and Aspyr ports games to Linux, I would not have expected them to just buy into that Ars Technica article.

Wow, yeah that's a shame they just rolled with that, bit surprised.

Is it? IMHO GameAgent is right. SteamOS still needs lot of work to be done. At its current state it's a shame what Valve delivers. Zotac should be ashamed too. For bundeling such an great hardware with such a crap, which isn't even optimized for it.

Is is that complicated to build an optimized kernel for my hardware? IS IT? No, it is not! But did they care? No, they just delivered that ugly fat und slow kernel from SteamOS. There are many bugs and other annoyances too. After a week I kicked that **** from the drive and replaced it with a normal linux distribution including newest drivers and my own kernel. Which gave it a "little" extra boost xD It is like releasing a brake.

SteamOS is on its way, but Valve has still a lot to do.

I don't care about this so called "AAA" games, as they are mostly overpriced cr-AAA-p. Indies and smaller developer studios making way better games. They don't annoy me with bullshit DRM or stupid Pre-Order stuff. No Day-1-Contentpatches for which I have to download several GBs before I can play. No AlwaysOn sh**, and so on. Sorry, but I still don't see the point of cr-AAA-p games.

Companies like EA, Ubisoft & Activision will not support Linux in the near future. They have their own stores, which are in competition to Valve.

And for the wanted racing game. Here is another one.

Quoting: PlintslchoI pick the game up when it becomes available in other stores such as GOG.com as well.

Let me quote from the developers blog: http://www.managames.com/DungeonGuardians/2015/11/29/52nd-weekly-update-modding-sdk/ [External Link]

"Except that, I got the answer from GOG : they said it looked like a good & interesting game, but were afraid it was too much of a niche game for their store."

Nice! A Viking settlers-game.

I don't know which settlers games you have played, but your differences have been at least in Settlers III & IV :).

Also I'm a bit confused about the tag "City Builder", where I would expect a game like Sim City or Anno, but not a settlers-game. On the other hand if I see what games are called Roguelikes or RPGs nowadays, then I'm sure we can categorize a Settler-game as City Builder. At least a bit city..erm..village building is involved.

Quoting: HunterZI'm a bit disappointed at how small the Linux subset of my GOG library is. The majority of my library is probably DOS games, which ought to be supported in Linux as easily as Windows via DOSBox, but for some reason there is no Linux version available.

Same here, but I guess it takes a looooooooooooooooong time to port the DOS-Box games. Which could IMHO done very quickly. //sarcasm off

Quoting: HunterZObviously I can install them on Windows and move the game over to Linux to run in DOSBox there, but that's not really the point is it?

You also can use wine to install them and run it with wine or run it with the Linux-DOSBox version. Works with 100% of the DOSBox-Games in my 800+ Games Library on GOG. So I DON'T understand they delay either.
