XCOM: Enemy Unknown should now work properly with radeonsi
9 Jan 2017 at 3:08 pm UTC

I kinda prefer XCOM:EW over XCOM2, as I've had way~ too many instances of getting utterly screwed by the RNG (the Avatar project jumping ahead by 3 points while I'm just trying to get some extra supplies, for instance).

Multiple statistics have shown Linux market-share doing better than ever

Quoting: LeopardWe need AAA titles badly at this point.
Not so much AAA titles as platform sellers. Biggest ones ATM are prolly (not sure, but my nearest guess) Skyrim, COD, FF:XV, Overwatch, Dishonoured 2, and DOOM.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo either there's something odd about Steam statistics, or Linux is used more for everything else but gaming.
Linux may be more prolific among both 'casual computer users' (seniors and 'normies') and professionals; people who don't really do gaming per say.

Quoting: ShmerlI hope they'll make it 64-bit and will avoid the notorious big XFS partition / no LFS bug.
Dude, who cares.
The same could be said of all Linux issues.

The Linux GOTY award is now open for submissions

Is most anticipated only for games with a definitive release date? 'Cause I submitted Bloodstained [External Link] but they haven't promised a definitive release date yet.

Are you gonna go over the list and remove any doubles that snuck in before opening the vote? I've seen Blades of the Shogun appearing twice in the overall best category.

Bahaha! No.

Northern Shadow, a once promising looking RPG that would support Linux has ceased development

Harrumph, could've at least GPL'ed it so the community could try and finish it.

Kinda reminds me of Good Robot, though, where Shamus got quite far into development before teaming up with Pyrodactyl, and ending up with something quite different from the original vision.

GOG are selling 10 of their 'top' 2016 games for super cheap, 5 have Linux support

For the moment I have more games on GOG than on Steam. Gonna try and keep it that way, to support anti-DRM companies.

What game are you truly thankful to have on Linux & SteamOS?

Kigo, for all those times I just don't have the time to play a full game on KGS/DGS and just want to play some quick and easy games against GnuGo. Even if the SGFs are horribly broken.

Torment: Tides of Numenera gets a release date

It'd be interesting if Steam allowed stuff like pre-ordering explicitly the Linux version, so if the game releases without a Linux version the publisher needs to refund the customers.

But I don't know whether that'd really help.

Quoting: wolfyrionHmmm... I wonder if we can make Blizard to port ALL their games to ALL OS no matter what...
Not a petition something that will hurt their wallets....

So far Overwatch is only playable in Windows and consoles ... so MAC users are on our side :)

I wonder if it is possible to make a "Strong" movement like for example to force everyone to stop their subscription or Stop playing any Blizzard Games for maybe 2-3 Month unless we got a word from Blizzard that ALL their games will be playable to ALL OS ?? :D

Lets say if we throw out a lot of bombs at social media, for example a Banner that says:

7/7/2017
EVERYONE STOPS PLAYING BLIZZARD GAMES
FOR A MONTH
- LETS STOP THE MONOPOLY!!! -
SUPPORT ALL OS

Do you thing Blizzard will get scared if social Media push them over? or they are going to wait for that date 7/7/2017 to see what will happen? :P
If one of the big figures in gaming (like TB, for instance) takes up our cause there could be a change. But that's not very likely to happen, so yeah...

It's more likely Windows users will see the banners, not know what it's all about, and shrug it off.
