Quoting: BoldosYep, I'm missing a Linux/SteamOS icon too in the Steam client, so not released for Linux yet?

How dare you talking about the actual game in question? ;)

It's available for Linux, but as they've got launch problems on SteamOS, they didn't yet mark it as such:

(Didn't see that in the article. If I didn't just miss it, it should be added.)

Quoting: EikeYou were using "social justice" as something negative, which is, sorry to say, plain stupid.
Social is good and important, justice is good and important.

To be fair, that term has come to refer to those who are bigoted while purporting to be anti-bigoted, but of course it often gets used by bigots to mud sling against anyone who is actually anti-bigotry which may or may not be the case here.

We should not let them get through with giving "social justice" a new, bad meaning. It's something inherently good, and if they are to point out bigotry or something else bad, they should call it like this. (Which in the course, as you pointed out, would make it much harder to apply the word to Gone Home).

Funnily enough, social justice is often blamed not by people who would suffer from more social justice, but by ordinary people who could actually benefit from what they are debasing.

Yeah, they're after you. *yawn*

And no, "independent" doesn't make anything better (or worse).

Quoting: Guest(That reminds me of "The Cat Lady", a supposedly great game that I found totally unplayable and terrible.)

Wow, finally a kindred soul. I thought I was the only one (by the number of downvotes to my negative review ;-).

Didn't find it playable either. I love touching stories, but the game must allow me to actually experience them...

The Long Dark officially leaves Early Access tomorrow, check out their launch trailer

Quoting: ShmerlGood, without story mode it was somewhat lacking.

I'd be interested with full story mode, but it only has parts of the story at the moment, it seems...

Unfortunately, people being wrong on the internet are sometimes influencing our real lifes.

Quoting: michaTo be fair, SteamOS as a (console) OS feels indeed quite dead if you look at its user base (roughly 1% of all Linux gamers and Linux itself is around 1% on PCs, right?).

I wondered were you had the 1% of Linux gamers from. Figured out you meant SteamOS itself, seperated from all other "Linuces". Never counted it that way.
