Steam now has a form of platform-specific wishlisting, to help developers see demand
6 Dec 2017 at 11:10 pm UTC Likes: 3

Nice! I have had the settings to only show Linux/SteamOS games on for a long time, so I hope I don't have to remove/readd items on my wishlist to have it working?

Now I'll have to go over the full list of steam games and add all those windows/mac-only titles that I'd like to see ported...

It would be interesting to see how those stats look like for some of the highly demanded games, like The Witcher 3.

Meanwhile, Linux builds of his other games are still missing from Steam. :-/

GOG adds Linux downloads for retro titles Earthworm Jim 1 & 2

Quoting: Hamish
Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI'd buy them if GOG wouldn't charge 10 €. WTF is wrong with them? Packing old DOS games in a Dosbox requires not too much skill. Why would you buy it for a price like this? :'(
I don't think it is GOG.com so much in this case but Interplay themselves insisting on that price. You look at other games in their library and they are charging the same.
That is correct, prices for the whole Interplay catalogue went up some time ago, most games, including Earthworm Jim, used to be 5.99 iirc - and frequently on sale.

To the Moon sequel 'Finding Paradise' will launch in December with Linux support

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: pbYes, please. And if there are any achievements, I hope they will unlock on Linux this time. In TTM I had to transfer the save file over to wine-installed game to unlock the achievement, luckily there was only one.
The one achievement triggered just fine for me. On 6 oct 2015 it says.
Nice. Mine is from 25.05.2014 and it didn't work back then.

Could your friendly GOG contacts tell us when they plan to release Galaxy client for Linux? I have hundreds of games on GOG (Earthworm Jims included) and it's a real hassle to manage them, and that's ignoring all the extra content that comes with them (soundtracks, manuals, codewheels etc.).

Mantis Burn Racing needs more support if it is to come to Linux

I bought Little Racers STREET at launch and had proper fun with it (worked fine back then, I haven't tested it recently). Mantis Burn Racing looks just as fun, but not at this price and not with that attitude.

Will I get the new DLC for free if I bought Expansion Pass?

Probably not, publisher being Paradox...

I bought Pillars of Eternity some time after release but soon they announced the expansions, so I waited with playing it until I bought the expansions. And then waited some more, just in case. Actually I've just started it last week, and now this...

I really hate the dlc-pumping model, it's the reason I never played more than a few hours of CK2 and EU4 and stopped buying DLCs for them (well, another reason being dlcs not going below -50/-66% any more), as well as stopped buying any new games by Paradox. I didn't even buy Tyranny even though it seems like my type of game, because I don't know how many dlcs it will spawn. I know they probably don't plan everything upfront, so they can't just say "this game will have 3 dlc, here's a season pass for you", but still as a player I resent it and refuse to take part. Maybe some day, in a few years, I'll buy and play "Tyranny Complete" or some such.
