Verdun, the WWI FPS has a free expansion release, game is now broken on Linux (now fixed)
30 Mar 2016 at 1:23 am UTC

It's the new version of unity causing this for every unity game that moves to it. Thats also why 7 days to die is broken. Although it sucks it's broken atm. It's Unity's fault, not the game devs. As soon as Unity guys fix it, we can play again.

I know the game devs could just of halted releasing/updating their game until it's fixed, but that would not be the best move either.

A chat with the developer of Quest of Dungeons about their Linux sales

I think it is a great game. For people who like this style of game, this maybe an overlooked gem. I actually helped beta test the linux version, and can happily say it's a very well done port. I am sad he didn't see profitable results from us. Can't wait to see what he makes next.

Quoting: LoondogivThanks for the write-up, guys! We at Aspyr were super stoked to be able to bring this new game to Linux. We hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for all your hard work on this and other titles. You guys always do a wonderful job. Definitely my favorite porting company. I just wish to see more games more often from you.

GLFW, a platform-independent API for developers already supports Vulkan

Actually GLFW sux as hard as GFWL. Seen quite a few games suffer problems from using that instead of SDL2.

ARK: Survival Evolved devs throwing money at BattlEye for Linux support, good news for Arma 3 too

They should of waited until it was working for mac/linux.
The game requires you to log in and take care of your dinos everyday. If not they literally starve to death. And some dino's take 10hours or more to tame, and for that 10 hours someone must be logged in constantly with it to feed it and look after it. Some people have literally 1000's of hours invested and everything they got could be dead/gone after a few days of not being able to log in. Even more so if they are on a pvp server. I really feel for the affected people. You really get attached to some of ya dinos and feel a real sense of loss when 1 dies.

If they really couldn't wait they should of warned users before hand so they could organize someone else to care for their dinos and bases. Or make some other arrangements.

Lucky I play on a private server that we don't enable BE on.

If it's priced fairly I will definitely check this out for playing with my kids.

Escape from Tarkov, the new Russian Survival MMO FPS looks like it's heading to Linux

Shame it's made on unity. It's going to have very very poor performance. You can even see it runs like crap in the video's. I know it's not finished yet, but it will still run like rubbish even when it's finished.

OUYA is blocking a Linux version of That Dragon, Cancer being on Steam

Shouldn't have put it on steam at all since Alienware do a console running windows too. So they violated that already.

What a joke, will be avoiding ever buying anything made by these guys.

Quoting: BOYSSSSSI avoid buying from Bundle Stars, because it counts as a Windows purchase.
Got proof? The games are clearly marked as linux compatible, meaning they are at least intending to market to us.
