For the records: The game has problems with floating comma locales like German (as Gone Home had...). Subtitles are not playing correctly. You can start it with "LANG=C %command%" in the Steam startup options to work around. The game took me five hours, didn't meet a crash. It's a good game if you like walking simulators.

Quoting: EhvisObviously Feral has not discussed their contracts with the publisher handles the split of income. But that should not differ between the Feral store on any other stores. The only real difference is that purchases from the Feral store aren't subject to the 30% cut from Steam.I remember that Feral buys the Linux/Maac rights and there's no cut for the original publisher taken away from Linux sells.

It took me over 50 hours to beat Infinifactory. What beasts of levels the last ones were...
Someone mentioned in the forums that the developers said they didn't do them themselves, which sounds... unfair!
But I'll take on the next game of them one day.

The Humble Down Under Bundle is a very good deal for Linux gamers

Quoting: chancho_zombieit's obviously egocentric for someone living in the south it's not down under. The aliens in antartica demand some respect.For someone in the south, the north is down under. It's a fricking ball we're living on, man!

I'll add to the voices saying you shouldn't punish Humbe Bundle for things they haven't done. They did a lot for Linux gaming even before Steam for Linux was a thing (back when I was dual booting for gaming), they still have got good offers for us and as long as this doesn't change, we shouldn't try to hurt them.

Quoting: chancho_zombiethe title they choose for the bundle is a little confusing. I don't understand people who live in the northern hemisphere just say that people in the south live down under?Well, actually literally relatively... they do, don't they? Like the northern guys live down under for the southern people. If you dig long enough (through melted metal or whatever is there), you'd arrive at the feet ot people from down under. (And I've never understood the term any other than jokingly.)
Search for a way to get home in 'Estranged: Act II' now on Linux

If I don't like cliffhangers, is Estranged part 1 worth playing alone? Is it a complete(d) story?
Amazon Lumberyard game engine is no longer going to support Linux, not enough demand
13 Oct 2017 at 9:45 am UTC
I expect the game to grow and grow, people having fun with it, paying for it, and,
as Chris Roberts officially states: "Star Citizen will never be really finished." [External Link]
As long as this works for him and his customers - why not?

Quoting: TheSHEEEPSure, but none of that is any proof that the game will ever come out. At that rate of progress, they would have to uphold their scheme for about 5-10 years more.Start Citizen is already "out enough" so people are actually having fun with it!
And I have serious doubts they can do that.
What I expect is a half-finished something to be cancelled in 2 years or so.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThere are STILL people believing Star Citizen will ever come out?I'm neither fan nor hater, but according to my favorite game magazine, they are making good process are creating - and showing - stuff that I've never seen before (shooting through holes in ships, ships flying in mother ships, ...).
Impressive!
Optimism never dies ;)
The Talos Principle VR will have Linux support

Quoting: TeqVR is not overhyped, but it's absolutely true that you have to see it to believe it. The best analogy I've come up with, which isn't great, is that it's the difference between seeing a picture of the Eiffel Tower, and actually going to the Eiffel Tower. Really night and day.I felt like after sitting in front of monitors for over three decades, I was now stepping into the monitor.
