User Submitted Editorial: Current Linux gaming situation
9 Dec 2015 at 8:31 pm UTC

Thing is, what makes Linux perfect for stuff that's actually important (servers,embedded,...) also makes it a pain for desktop gaming: modularity.

I don't mind though, I love tinkering and the games I like are all old hat anyway.

Note to self: start gaming under sourcemage. (Although, truth be told, installing sourcemage IS a video game.)

Three Years Ago Valve Put Steam Into Beta For Linux, A Look At It All
8 Nov 2015 at 2:26 pm UTC

And we're still at around 1% of steam users, so there's absolutely no reason for anyone to target Linux unless they have personal reasons to do so.

Valve Looks Like It's Removed The SteamOS Icon For Games That Work On Linux, But Not Perfectly On SteamOS

Welp, good thing we still have GOG...

Damnit Valve, you're making it very difficult for me to like you if you act up like this.

New Linux Gaming Survey For October

Isn't there a way to add multiple radio buttons to an input thing?
So you could have done that last question as a 1 to 5 scale of importance?

Anyway, looking forward to seeing September's results.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Free Weekend & XCOM 2 Available For Pre-Order For Day-1 Release
10 Sep 2015 at 9:01 pm UTC

Quoting: kingofrodeoI never pre-order, ever. There's no reason to, I can only play the game the day it comes out so what's the point?

I like to pre-order on (semi-)rare occasions, to show my appreciation to developers for making games I love, despite the very small market share my preferred genres and OS have.

I believe it to be kind of similar to donating (time and/or money) to open source projects, if it can make someone's day a little better, then that's worth whatever the cost.

New Linux Gaming Survey For June

Funny thing: I've got a PS Vita, but I use it more for surfing the web around the house than for playing games. I'm also planning on buying a Pandora soon, and I'll try my hand at writing a review, if it hasn't been done yet.
