Both your avatars would fit well in this trailer, though. :D

Quoting: tuubiI will do my best to skip the ARMA parts though. Oddly, my year in the army didn't leave me hungry for more, real or fake.
How strange indeed... ;)

Quoting: EikeWhat are you talking about?

Honestly, did you even look at that link? Needless to say I visited their official homepage. There is only Steam(tm) widget.

I'm afraid I'm right on this. Better luck next time, friend!
I wanted to ask what you are talking about a second time, as it reads "DRM free. No copy protection. No online activation." to me. Ok, got it: Windows and Mac only on Gog. That's quite strange.

PS: It would have been helpful for others if you would have passed this information in your posts.

I remember hearing them talk about The Last Tinker (Video, in German [External Link] back in 2014. It sounded like a bunch of students proud of their first project. I'm happy they developed this well - and are supporting Linux!

It's good to hear they feel it has been success, even though they considered it quite some work. I hope their newest game, very well received in local games media, will do as well as it seems to deserve. While I'm not into Ninjas, I'm looking forward for some Desperados feeling...!

The Talos Principle stable build updated, includes the latest improvements for Vulkan (updated)
12 Dec 2016 at 8:57 pm UTC

Update: It looks like the Vulkan version may get proper multi-threading soon too. On a post asking about it, a developer said this:
Soon, my friends, soon.
I thought this was about the OP question, "can we expect BFE to get the same treatment in the near future?"...
It's also located in the Serious Sam 3 forum.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance will not aim for day-1 Linux support

Quoting: silmethI’ve found a post in Czech in their forums from one of the moderators, back from March 6th. Even though on the international threads they keep saying that they keep Linux version in mind but cannot promise anything, the post in a thread about Linux Beta [External Link] says:
That is close to what we heard "internationally":

I somehow thought they would have given up on it, so this is great news for me personally.

The circuit building simulator 'SHENZHEN I/O' gets 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews from Steam users

Quoting: voyager2102What does that proof? You are not mainstream ;) Or at least you are not in the target group for that game. Those that were found it to be a great game. The system fails you, but that is probably not because the system is bad since it seems to satisfy the needs of the majority (speculating) - it is most likely because you don't fit into said system ;)
Continuing this thought, if those disappointed by such a game write a review, it helps others - and will make the game leave the overwhelming area if there are enough of them.
