Beep boop the Feral Interactive port radar has a UFO sighting for a new Linux port

Quoting: KelsBack when the original came out, I asked if it was coming to Linux and got a reply directly from the developer. They said probably not due to a middleware issue (which fortunately got sorted out in the end) but for following games they'd definitely be paying more attention to that.
Sounds interesting. I must remind myself from time to time that Feral is only second best, coming after a multiplatform release of the original developer.

Great Linux games on Steam currently under a fiver

Quoting: scaineIt's only got mixed reviews because some people are entitled idiots who think that they get to dictate every aspect of a game in a series they feel passionately about. Typical toxic fandom.
I thought it would be due to having loot boxes in a game released for full price (a very valid reason in my book), but when you actually take a look at some of the current reviews, it's mostly for crashes, very bad optimization - and a mediocre story.

XENONAUTS 2 hit Kickstarter and it's already funded, hopefully coming to Linux

They're postive and still honest about their support. I see no reason not to cover such cases!

Unforeseen Incidents is a fantastic point and click adventure now out with Linux support

I played through game and met none of the bugs you mentioned. Developers have already released a patch for bugs met by others. If you expect a game not taking itself too serious, it's a strong recommendation from me.

Valve are easing up on what content is allowed on Steam

Quoting: NanobangWhat others? Who are you talking about, and why and how are they "a problem" for you? I don't mean to sound strident, Eike. I feel like you're trying to say something, but, really, the more I try and find meaning, the less I see you saying.
If there's 99% sane and responsible people (which may or may not include you, I don't know and it doesn't matter for the point made), there's 1% other people. "I'm an adult and fine with taking responsibility", "I won't shoot anybody with my automatic rifle", "I'm not wanting Adolf Hitler back." (for the records: I met people online who want) and the like doesn't touch the problem at all.

PS: I'm not a native speaker of the English language. "about anybody" was supposed to mean "nearly anybody". If this is not correct, I'm always open for corrections. (Seriously.)

Quoting: NanobangYes, yes, and which are whose, etc. I pretty much had to know that for my response to make a lick of sense, but thank you all the same. :)
You being responsible doesn't help about anybody but yourself, e.g. it doesn't help Valve. The problem always aren't the responsible adults, but the others.

We've teamed up with GOG for another fantastic giveaway: Surviving Mars & Iconoclasts

I'd love to get Surviving Mars.

No joke: My father administrated a Unix computer system of a juristical court. One day he wondered what unknown file that was in the root of the file system. He deleted it. So the system missed... its kernel.

Quoting: NanobangGood. I'm glad Steam has grown up and grown some huevos.
...by taking the most spineless position possible that avoids actually having to actually do anything.
I hear you, but I'm an adult and fine with taking responsibility for my own buying decisions.
He wasn't talking about your responsibilities, but about theirs.

Tell me five title runs on Linux via CryEngine
I don't need to, the amount of titles means nothing.
Well, one would be fine, though...?
