I'd love to see all these old dosbox-wrapped DRM-free games on GOG get a Linux version so I can grab them all and then play them one by one as soon as they release the Galaxy client for Linux (so I can organise my library and actually remember what I have there). I wouldn't mind if they wine-wrapped some of these old Windows-only games and sold them to me, either!

Ah, I hoped that BeamNG.drive will be next, but it's a different team. Wishlisted all the same. ;-)

Yes! I got the base game from HB monthly but didn't redeem, waiting to buy the whole package from Feral once it's ported. :-)

Windows 10 S might alarm Valve into boosting SteamOS again

Quoting: qptain Nemo
Quoting: burningserenitySo with Win32 eventually phased out, will WINE be the easiest way to run legacy Windows programs?
It's already becoming that. I keep hearing reports of games not running well on latest versions of Windows which I have no trouble running in Wine at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if CodeWeavers had CrossOver for Windows on their back burner.

You don't just go to sleep when the enemy regroups, you use that time to prepare. I hope Valve doesn't wake up with the short end of the stick...

The Linux version of Yooka-Laylee on Steam was removed, requiring you to use a beta
16 Jan 2018 at 1:00 pm UTC

"They say if you opt into the "mac_and_linux_old" beta you will get access again, however, it's not clear how old that build actually is"

Judging by this post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/360830/discussions/0/1620599015874147447/#c1620599015889985671 [External Link] - it's a very old build, possibly the vert first Linux build that was put on steam.

That's odd, I (almost*) never had issues with this game, me and the kids played a few dozen hours, no idea why they would remove the Linux build (also I think I still have it installed on my steam machine and I'm not opted-in to beta).

* two minor issues - the first world boss was bugged in the beginning, and some time ago controller stopped working after a steamos/drivers update, not really game's fault.
