This means that games will originally be released not with day 1 Linux support but only for Linux. Further ports to other platforms (Windows, Mac, Mobile) might happen in the future if enough interest is gathered.

So much looking forward for a thread asking for a Windows port. :-D (*)

(*) Yes, it's technically possible to upload a Linux only game on Steam.

Quoting: razing32Well , don't forget there are mods also
Tremor and Thorium come to mind (think those two even work together)

Would they decrease the complexity?

Quoting: sbolokanovA pure 64bit system over here. And I hope you can accept my unwillingness to bloat my system (performance wise, and other effects also) for that one tool.

Your unwillingness is yours to keep, but I'm not aware of any performance or other issues except a minuscule additional disc usage.

A mediocre game from a thousand years ago, out now soon on Linux!

... but if the sales are low, we'll never make anything for Linux again!

It's great to watch some games continually being expanded. I wonder though if I now bought Terraria, if I wouldn't be overwhelmed by content (others got step by step)...

Quoting: subDoesn't sound it's using the Stadia infrastructure.
It even supports offline gaming.

Ah. I thought they're all running on Stadia as well.

General remarks:
I do think Stadia might help us.
While not every Linux port will make it to the shops (DOOM, I'm looking at you, and angrily that is!), more game developers with Linux knowledge is a good thing for us.

Since Stadia will work on Linux and it's powered by Linux, here's what is newly announced for it:
[...]
Uplay+ - an extra subscription service, with access to 100+ games.

This does mean the games do not need to run natively on Linux.
Ubisoft won't port 100+ games...

I'll let others be the beta testers. :)

I had similar feeling for Desperados, but found I just couldn't play it anymore, be it only for non-interruptible walking scenes...
