Quoting: PatolaNo middle term? So how is Linux gaming in all of this?
by wich measure 1% of marketshare on the desktop is an middle term?
Well, to whom and by which measure, I would ask.
Linux gaming might not yield Valve as much money as they put into it, dunno.
It might still be a lever for Valve to avoid closing of Microsoft's ecosystem...

Quoting: kaimanRequiring 370MB RAM, it sadly will not run on my old Laptop ;-). Given that it requires less disk space than RAM, one wonders what the technology behind it is. Must be something bloated like Unity.
Compression?

In what seems to be an interesting missunderstanding combined with welcome effort for Linux, the developer made a 64 bit version, including a GameMaker Studio switch...

Quoting: MrNilssonThanks for your list here and on your blog. I saved both and I'll have a look on them later this day.
The recommendations I listed in my post here are my personal ones.
Every single one is a great game in its respective genre in my humble opinion.

Not my favourite kind of comic look, but sounds too interesting to be passed.

Quoting: MrNilssonWell I think the last one I played was Grim Fandango or a Leisure Suit Larry game. The last few years I just played the Counter Strike games, Rainbow Six Siege and some Fortnite on the PC and sport & adventure games on the PS4. If you're up you can tell me some must plays on Linux. Doesn't have to be only point-and-click adventures. But it would be nice if the games were native Linux games. I just want to explore Linux games at the moment as I'm new to Linux.

INHO, sorry to the devs, there are lots of better alteratives if you don't fancy a... simple humour. If you tell about your preferences, I'm sure we'll find recommendations.

Looks like Valve are developing another new game, something to do with "Citadel"

Quoting: TiedemannYeah but it is a separate thing.
No, it's not, i've disabled the steam overlay a lot of times just for hiding achievement popups, you still get them but you won't see it.
You got an example of a game I can try it on cause I never have the overlay enabled.
If you don't get them and I do I'm certainly going to make a ticket on it.
I think you should be making examples. :)
AFAIK, no game can show the Steam notifications with Steam overlay disabled.
