Where are those guys now who laughed when I said we'll see Civ V next? :P

Tormentum - Dark Sorrow Point & Click Adventure Game, Looks Dark & Awesome
10 Jun 2014 at 12:02 pm UTC

With able artist influenced by Beksinski and Giger, this game can't go wrong - and even if, it will be easily forgiven. But, and it's a big but - none of the tiers mention getting Linux version. They only say they have it in plans, but with the game based on Adobe Air I don't expect much. Vote on Greenlight? Yes! Support on Indiegogo? Not this time.

Pixel Boy And The Ever Expanding Dungeon Video & Thoughts, Plus A Free Key Give-away
9 Jun 2014 at 7:19 pm UTC

This game looks awesome and I've been watching it since the release. The main thing keeping me from buying is that historically when I bought a game fresh after release, it had several shortcomings like not working achievements, Linux port bugs etc. - and in some reviews I've seen traces of such bugs also in this game. Though I wouldn't mind them that much if you have a free key for me. ;-)

At the moment it only shows this message and quits:


I played through this game some years ago, will be nice to finish it again (for the achievements, of course ;-).

Steam Hits The Big 500 For Linux Games

Quoting: pbIt only shows 495 titles here: ...
Weird, if you do this search [External Link] it shows 500, but yours shows 495 for me as well.
That's probably because the 500 counter includes unreleased games as well. When sorting by release date, these games disappear. I'm just speculating though, because among the games with no release date is Gear Up as well as Prison Architect or Metro: Last Light, while the latter two are obviously available, only have the date broken. So yeah, let's just stick to the official counter at http://store.steampowered.com/browse/linux/ [External Link] :-)

The number crossed 400 less than two months ago. Considering the current pace at which games are greenlit - and the plans to drop the greenlight process altogether - the number is likely to double by next spring, but sadly the quality of releases is another story.

GOG.com Announce Galaxy Their Optional Client, Linux Support To Come

Diversity is always good, and I'm inclined to think GOG will do much better than Desura on this field. And I mean not only the quality of Linux client.
