As long as I can get updates without using Steam, I'm good.

Quoting: wintermuteI never watch the videos. Are you saying you can see the game running on Linux in it?

Nope, just a splash screen saying 'august 31, 2016 PC - Mac - Linux'.

Oh well, hope reigns eternal.

Quoting: dmantioneLack of games is mostly a perceived problem. In fact, for a console gamer, a Steam Machine has a wealth of games available never seen before. Therefore reducing this perception, for example by hiding Windows-only games, might be just as important as well as getting more games available. You could also think of targeted advertising pointing to games that are on SteamOS, but not (yet) on consoles.

The arguments about lack of games is a combination of quantity and quality. Don't get me wrong, it's neat for there to be hundreds or thousands of small indie games on Linux. However, when AAA titles are basically not being released for SteamOS (not to mention the absolute lack of any console sellers, which also killed the PS Vita), you have to realize that many gamers just aren't interested.

'Black Ice'? Not my favourite ACDC album, although Work's pretty good.

This game looks so good, I added it to my wishlist as soon as I saw it.

I actually am a VN fan, and I like how a number of the good ones are being released on Linux. Now I just need a good sandbox RPG.

Satellite Reign is amazingly challenging and fun.
Mount & Blade: Warband is fun, although getting my stats up to the point where I can consistently besiege towns takes a while.
Baldur's Gate: EE is a bit more fun than the original, as I prefer the BG2 system, will be interesting when I get my character to BG2:EE.
Pillars of Eternity is less fun than BG:EE for some reason. Taking a page from MrBtongue's book, I suppose the game is too balanced.

Also played all through A Little Lily Princess recently, it's a bit softer than the book, but it's still a neat little timesink.

I've also been trying to get Divine Divinity: Original Sin working, but I fear I might need to run a Debian derivative, in which case it probably won't be worth the pain and humiliation.

I already have most of my games on both Steam ánd GOG (future-proofing FTW).

Still, nice to see GOG being so proactive in protecting the Steam userbase.

AMD still proving to be the superior choice for anyone who values freedom.

The red ones displayed on Dragonbox look nicer than the transparent one, in my humble opinion.

Still, after the troubles they've been having with the components for the Pandora, I'm hoping that the Pyra will get enough orders to give them a leg up in their dealings with their suppliers.

I've already got Shadowrun: Hong Kong on GOG, but I just might get it on Steam as well. Final Fantasy V, VI and X/X2 HD Remaster have been on my wishlist since I discovered them in the store. And more Dark Souls just because Dark Souls.
