Ok, just wow. This is big. It seems Nvidia is working hard to remain the go-to manufacturer for Linux gaming GPUs come the next generation (the Wayland/Vive generation :) ) too.

Single player only? I'd thought a local multiplayer mode is mandatory on these kind of games. And only partial controller support? Get out of here.
See this impressive Unreal Engine 4 video showcasing 2016 features, official Vulkan support

Quoting: ArkonaHi to everyone! This is my first message here :) although I'm reading this site for years.
Cool to hear from you Arkona, and welcome :-)
Nice post too. Interesting read. I hope the compiler stuff is fixed soon, so you don't have to buy a windows licence just for that... :-(
Obsidian and Paradox team up for new RPG called Tyranny and it's coming to Linux

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyIf you want a 3rd person RPG, then go play a bioware game.
What an excellent suggestion! Now please, point me in the direction of the Bioware Linux games, cause I've not found that department yet. I'm really very confused about this.
Could you toss me a copy of the Fallout 4 Linux build too, while you're at it?

What's wrong with 3rd person perspective - heck even first person perspective? Come on Paradox and Obsidian, surely you guys got enough resources and skill to make it into more than the standard isometric view.
How big is Linux gaming? Some estimates

Quoting: PeciskAs for recent incredible increase of Steam users - games just gets more and more accessible and that's most likely thanks to small indie games...not AAA publishers.
To be honest I doubt many non-gamers all of a sudden install Steam and start gaming because of an indie game they've heard of.

Quoting: PeciskGTA5 and Witcher 3 alone could be reason for additional users. XBO turned out to be turd and most likely lot of people switched either to Windows or PS4.
That's a interesting theory. Some transformation from Xbox to PC gaming may have taken place, but at the same time the huge success of the PS4 is very likely a lot of former Xbox owners who jumped platform. Numbers from Sony indicates the same, with a large share being users who's not owned a Playstation earlier.

Still, the jump is puzzling because it is so enormous - if at all true.

Nobody else think the steam user growth seems inanely steep all of a sudden? They spent like ten years to get to fifty mill active users, and then all of a sudden just a few years to almost TRIPLE that?

Why? How?

Arma 3 Linux port to update to 1.54 tomorrow, there's more good news too

Quoting: WorMzyIf only they'd properly commit to supporting Linux. I don't want to buy this game while there's a chance they're just gonna pull the rug out from underneath it and drop Linux support.
Me too. I really really want to see an official release (and the commitment that implies) before shelling out the cash.
