Indonesia and Khmer are heading to Civilization VI

Nice, but I'm waiting until they release Civilization VI Complete Edition with cross-platform multiplayer.

Yes! I was just thinking about going back to Hitman to try and 100% some missions, but this is even better, can't wait!

Get thinking, as Feral Interactive are teasing another new Linux port

Quoting: michaWhile I wouldn't mind if it were Tomb Raider, I think it goes against Feral's strategy. TR is in the humble monthly which quite some Linux (and Mac) gamers are subscribed to. So it would mean less sales for them. Assassin's Creed would make them more money I believe.
Unless maybe they release the port by the end of the week and get their share?

Quoting: roothorickI'm gonna hold off on activating my key until Feral lets this one loose, for exactly that reason.
Same, I have the 12m subscription but I specifically didn't activate the key waiting for Feral. I'd rather buy the anniversary edition once it's ported and give the monthly key to a friend or family member who uses Windows.

According to netmarketshare Linux hit 6.91% market share last month, higher than Mac

Quoting: SolitaryI don't think ChromeOS is much of a thing in Europe in general, I don't know anyone that bought one. Correct me if I am wrong.
Are Chromebooks even available in Europe? Maybe in some of the western countries, but certainly not where I live.

Atari are launching a new gaming system, the 'Ataribox' and it runs Linux
30 Sep 2017 at 2:38 am UTC

Quoting: slaapliedjeOnly problem with that logic is that Commodore and Amiga never really made Video Games, only hardware and all of their patents / IP have been completely plundered.
Sure, but Amiga was always associated with gaming as it had lots of great games and their quality was superior to pc at that time (e.g. parallax). My personal associations from '80-'90 are: PC = office work, Amiga = gaming and graphics editing, Atari = 8bit games and music editing. No idea, others may have different views.

Rocket League's huge 'Autumn Update' is now available
29 Sep 2017 at 4:51 pm UTC

Quoting: KetilIt is currently on sale. Should I buy rocket league game of the year edition, or the cheaper one without the DLCs?
Heads up: the three DLCs included in GOTY are required for 100% achievements.

Atari are launching a new gaming system, the 'Ataribox' and it runs Linux

Quoting: slaapliedjeI would say that Valve should just buy Atari for the IP
I'm not sure how much each brand is worth and how big is the nostalgia around it, but personally I would prefer for Valve to buy the Amiga brand and make it into something great. ;-) I'm not saying they should replace Steam Machines with NG Amigas, but maybe, just maybe, it would work to release a lot of Steam Machines under different brands, aiming at different demographics - Atari, Sega, Amiga etc. - each with custom branding but with Linux and Steam under the hood. It worked for Android, I don't see why it shouldn't work in console market. :-)

Game developer 'Atlus' issues a DMCA takedown against open source PS3 emulator

It's probably because they have a PC version in the works and they don't want emulation to hurt their sales. The same happens to old IP "abandonware" when the company decides to release a remaster.

Quoting: elmapulSega Next please!
i really didnt had an atari-childhood but i played some of those games on other platforms.

Sega does have a decent library of Linux games thanks to Feral, so who knows...

Well they have some games they could port...

And these classics running on the box will probably be Atari Vault, no? But the machine will need to have some big titles, maybe even exclusives, to take off.
